Due to the increasing demand to utilize water fronts and water resource effectively, a multi-dimensional model that provides detailed hydraulic characteristics is required in order to improve the decision making process. An EFDC model is a kind of multi-dimension model, and it requires detailed 3D (3-dimensional) terrain in order to simulate the hydraulic characteristics of stream flow. In the case of 3D terrain creation, especially river reaches, measurement resolution and spatial interpolation methods affect the detailed 3D topography which uses input data for EFDC simulation. Such results make hydraulic characteristics to be varied. This study aims to examine EFDC simulation results depending on the 3D topographies derived by separate measurement resolution and spatial interpolation methods. The study area is at the confluence of the Nakdong and Kuemho Rivers and the event rain implemented was Typhoon Ewiniar in 2006. As a result, in the case of the area-elevation curve, the difference by means of the interpolation methods was significant when applying the same measurement resolution, except at 160m resolution. Furthermore, when the measurement resolution was 80m or above, the difference in a cross-section was occurred. Meanwhile, the water level changes between interpolation methods were insignificant by the measurement resolution except when the Kriging method was used for the 160m measurement data. Velocity changes emerged according to the interpolation methods when measurement resolution was 80m or above and the Kriging method resulted in a velocity that had a considerable gap in relation to the results from other methods at a measurement resolution of 160m.

This study applies 3-D N-S solver based on PBM (Porous Body Model), LED-WASS-3D ver 2.0 to directly analyze non-linear interaction of seawater-freshwater-coastal aquifer in order to simulate the seawater infiltration into coastal aquifer. This numerical simulation is the first trial in Korea, as well as unusual and new numerical analysis abroad. Firstly, to validate the applied numerical model, the validity and effectiveness was verified for the numerical model by comparing and considering it with the result of laboratory experiment for seawater-freshwater interface in coastal aquifer. And then it simulated the seawater infiltration into coastal aquifer considering the changed levels of seawater and groundwater in order to analyze the distribution characteristics of flow field and seawater-freshwater interface of coastal aquifer as the level difference between seawater and groundwater and rate of seawater level (${\Delta}h/h$) increased. In addition, the characteristics of seawater infiltration were analyzed from the vertical salinity in the coastal aquifer by ${\Delta}h/h$, which cannot be obtained from existing non-diffusion numerical models. Finally, it analyzed the effect of ${\Delta}h/h$ on the seawater infiltration distance in coastal aquifer, which was indexed.

This study investigates the discharge coefficient of Improved-Pneumatic-Movable (IPM) weir through the weir, a kind of movable weirs, to estimate much more accurate rating curves using laboratory flume experiments. The discharge coefficient ($C_d$) is from 0.613 to 0.634 by the stand-up angle of the weir. The upstream Froude Number ($F_{r1}$), relative crest length(${\xi}$), Headwater Ratio ($H_1/W$), the Overflow depth ratio of weir crest ($y_c/y_1$) was changed by the upstream. And the downstream Froude number ($F_{r2}$), the Overflow depth ratio of weir crest and Downstream Water depth ($y_c/y_2$) was changed by the downstream. The ratio of Downstream and Up and Downstream water Depth (${\Delta}y/y_2$) was found to be changed by both of the up and downstream flow. They considered the major influence variables and derived the Discharge coefficient Formula at this study. The Discharge coefficient of the Improved-Pneumatic-Movable (IPM) weir was settled by the height of the Movable weir, that is to say, it was settled by the flow conditions of upstream approach flow head and physical data according to the standing angle.

An hydraulic experiment was carried out in an open channel flume in order to improve the technique of designing shape of the sluice used for tidal power generation, which greatly affects the economical efficiency of the construction of a tidal power plant. To predict the influence of change in the major design parameters relating to the sluice shape on the water discharge capability of the sluice, it was necessary to perform a precise experiment that is discriminated to previous feasibility studies or design projects. For this purpose, by installing various flow straighteners and rectifying structures inside the water supply system and the rectifying tank, the flow in the flume was stabilized as tranquil as possible. In addition, the measuring instruments and the location of installing them were carefully determined so as to minimize the errors intervened during the measurement of water discharge and water level. The method of estimating head difference between upstream and downstream of the sluice was also developed by taking account of the head loss due to the friction at the bottom and side walls in the flume.

Recently, offshore bucket cut-off walls were developed to solve several problems in conventional offshore cut-off walls. In this study, a numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the seepage stability of offshore bucket cut-off walls. The ground was assumed as uniform homogeneous sand and steady state flow conditions were applied. The flow condition was compared among 2-dimensional flow (2-D), 2-dimensional concentrated flow (2-DC), and axisymmetric flow. The analysis results showed that the seepage velocities in axisymmetric flow were about 1.5 and 2 times larger than those of 2-DC and 2-D flow conditions, respectively. Thereafter, the axisymmetric flow condition was applied because the seepage flow was concentrated toward the center of the circular-shaped wall. A parametric study was performed varying bucket radius, penetration depth, total head difference between in and outside of the wall. The exit gradient, which used for the calculation of piping stability, decreased with increase of the penetration depth and bucket radius. Design charts were proposed to estimate the factor of safety and the exit gradient at various analysis conditions. Finally, the design equation was proposed to calculate the exit gradient for the preliminary design of the bucket cut-off wall.

In recent years, countries like Europe and Japan have been involved in many researches on the Low-Crested Structure (LCS) which is the method to protect beach erosion and it is regarded as an alternative to the submerged breakwaters, and compiled its results and released the design manual. In the past, studies on LCS have focused on two-dimensional wave transmission and calculating required weight of armor units, and these were mainly examined and discussed based on experiments. In this study, three-dimensional numerical analysis is performed on permeable LCS. The open-source CFD code olaFlow based on the Navier-Stokes momentum equations is applied to the numerical analysis, which is a strongly nonlinear analysis method that enables breaking and turbulence analysis. As a result, the distribution characteristics of the LCS such as water level, water flow, and turbulent kinetic energy were examined and discussed, then they were carefully compared and examined in the case of submerged breakwaters. The study results indicate that there is a difference between the flow patterns of longshore current near the shoreline, the spatial distribution of longshore and on-offshore directions of mean turbulent kinetic energy in case of submerged breakwaters and LCS. It is predicted that the difference in these results leads to the difference in sand movement.

우리나라는 국토의 대부분이 산악으로 이루어진 지형학적 특성과 여름철에 비가 집중된다는 기상학적 요인으로 인해 물관리가 어려운 편이다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인한 이상 기상 현상으로 돌발성 호우와 가뭄 등의 발생 빈도가 증대되면서 용수공급 관리는 더욱 더 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 가운데 장기 기상정보는 안정적인 이수기 용수 공급을 위한 댐 수위 운영 및 홍수기 운영 목표 수위 계획 수립 등에 활용도가 매우 높다. 최근 기상청은 2014년 6월 이후부터 기존의 장기예보를 확률 예보 방식으로 변경하면서 기온과 강수량에 대하여 평년 대비 높음(많음), 비슷, 낮음(적음)으로 단순 예보하는 기존의 방식에서 발생가능성에 대해 카테고리 별로 확률(%)을 발표하고 있다. 기후변화의 불확실성이 증가하는 가운데 개정된 새로운 형태의 확률장기예보를 물관리에 정량적으로 적용하여 보다 정확도 높은 중장기 물관리 체계가 구축되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 확률장기예보를 실제 댐 운영에 적용하기 위한 연구로서 과거 자료와 확률장기예보를 조합하여 2014년 6월~2015년 2월의 유역 강수량의 확률 분포를 전망하였다. 대상 지역은 안동댐 유역으로 과거 자료는 최근린법에 기초한 기상청 산하 관측소인 안동, 태백, 봉화, 영주의 1986~2013년의 월 자료를 사용하였고, Thissen법을 근거로 유역 강수량을 계산하였다. 확률장기예보는 안동댐 유역을 포함하는 대구 경북지역을 대상으로 한 동일한 기간의 예보 자료를 활용하였다. 과거 강수량은 각 월별로 적합도 검정 후 Gamma분포를 채택하였으며 이를 기반으로 예보의 카테고리 별 기준값을 산정한 후 장기예보의 확률정보를 조합하여 강수량의 확률 분포를 작성하였다. 이를 2014년 6월~2015년 2월의 실제 강수량과 비교한 결과 2014년 11월과 2015년 1월 경우 가장 큰 확률의 카테고리 강수 범위 안에 실제 강수량이 포함되었으나 나머지 월에서는 실제 값과 카테고리 확률 간에 상이한 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 예보 자료 수의 제한 및 안동댐과 예보 구역의 지역 차에 의한 자료 차이 등이 배제되어 있기 때문에 참고 자료로만 활용 될 수 있을 것이라고 판단되며, 확률장기예보 정보를 이용하여 유역 강수량의 확률 분포를 산정함으로서 물관리 부문에서 예보의 정량적 적용 가능성을 최초로 제시했다는 것에 의의가 있다. 추후 기후 모델 특성과 확률장기예보 산출 기법 등을 보다 심도 깊게 고려하여 정확도 개선에 대한 연구가 보완되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

InSAR (Interferometry SAR) technique is a technique that uses complex data to obtain phase difference information from two or more SAR image data, and enables high-resolution image extraction, surface change detection, elevation measurement, and glacial change observation. In many countries, research on the InSAR technique is being conducted in various fields of study such as volcanic activity detection, glacier observation in Antarctica, and ground subsidence analysis. In this study, a case of large ground settlement due to groundwater level drawdown during tunnelling was introduced, and ground settlement analyses using InSAR technique and numerical analysis method were compared. The maximum settlement and influence radius estimated by the InSAR technique and numerical method were found to be quite similar, which confirms the reliability of the InSAR technique. Through this case study, it was found that the InSAR technique reliable to use for estimating ground settlement and can be used as a key technology to identify the long-term ground settlement history in the absence of measurement data.

Due to the increase in ground excavation work, the possibility of ground subsidence accidents is increasing. And it is very difficult to prevent these risk fundamentally through institutional reinforcement such as the special law for underground safety management. As for the various cases of urban ground excavation practice, the ground subsidence behavior characteristics which is predicted using various information before excavation showed a considerable difference that could not be ignored compared to the results real construction data. Changes in site conditions such as seasonal differences in design and construction period, changes in construction methods depending on the site conditions and long-term construction suspension due to various reasons could be considered as the main causes. As the countermeasures, the safety management system through various construction information is introduced, but there is still no suitable system which can predict the effect of excavation and risk assessment. In this study, a web-based system was developed in order to predict the degree of impact on the ground subsidence and surrounding structures in advance before ground excavation and evaluate the risk in the design and construction of urban ground excavation projects. A system was built using time series analysis technique that can predict the current and future behavior characteristics such as ground water level and settlement based on past field construction records with field monitoring data. It was presented as a geotechnical data visualization (GDV) technology for risk reduction and disaster management based on web-based system, Using this newly developed web-based assessment system, it is possible to predict ground excavation impact prediction and risk assessment.

This paper addresses the suitability of GPS positioning technology to monitoring deformation and movement of structures. The first part of the study is an empirical quantitative study of the repeatability of GPS observations and the second part is a performance evaluation of kinematic GPS, which requires only a few minutes per a point, for monitoring deformation of an engineering structure. On the test network for monitoring of a earth am, four observations have been conducted repeatedly on different seasons and water levels. The reference network was observed in static mode, and monitoring points were observed respectively in rapid-static mode as well as in kinematic mode in each epoch and then the results were compared with those obtained by conventional surveying techniques. The repeatability of baseline vectors to better than average 7 mm in three dimensions was achieved in base line observations between reference points and also the unclosure of reference networks showed the range of 4 ppm to 27 ppm. Compared with conventional surveying techniques, the kinematic approach showed the differences of 3∼4 m in slope distances which were observed from reference points to monitoring points, and showed the differences of 4∼8 m in height. It was ascertained that the kinematic GPS technology provides an efficient alternative to deformation monitoring by conventional means which are capable of detecting movements in the order of 5 mm.
