In this paper, a method is proposed to accurately and efficiently estimate the equivalent added mass of hydro-dynamic pressure on dam floodgates subjected to earthquake loading. The present method is based on a relatively-simple procedure using on-site vibration measurement and finite element frequency analysis, which is sufficiently practical to be used in the earthquake resistance performance evaluation of dam floodgates.

Changing of industry structure and development of traffic and telecommunications requires a change of the knowledge about the space where the human beings reside. Step by step the world is being divided into specified utility blocks. Today there is a limit that only one local government can compete with another region in the world. This study provides decision support tools with the use of GIS on the regional level for regions competition. GIS establishes regions and analyzes their geographic environment data, which will help in local-government problem solving and provide framework data for similar regions to become the community. The wide-area GIS application can present an objective and rational basis for regulation of inefficient investments and excessive competition between adjacent regions. The study area is Gangwon-do. Considering specific features of Gangwon-do which preserved high-quality environment resources, river basins were taken as a basis among natural regional elements. The main object of analysis conducted were the facts relevant to environmental regulation. The Gangwon-do consists of three regions in this study: Yongdong region, North-Hangang region and South-Hangang region. The analysis of each region regulation cases showed the following: in Youngdong region the forests regulation rate is high, in North-Hangang region the military installations protection sector's rate as well as regulation rate for water resources protection is relatively high, in South-Hangang region the forest and water resources regulation rate is high. The percentage of forests and water regulation rate appeared to be rather high in Gangwon-do, which means that the value of forest and water resources there is very high.

자연수를 가압(4~5기압)하면서 물과 공기의 비를 4:1~3:1로 혼합하면 수체 내 초미세기포(Diameter $3{\sim}10{\mu}m$)가 발생하는데 이를 산소용해수라 하며 수질정화시설 또는 양식장 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 산소용해수의 특징은 기포의 비표면적이 넓고 10시간 이상 포화 농도를 유지하여 수체에 잔류하는 시간이 길기 때문에, 일반 산기석을 활용한 포기나 순산소 용해 등의 타 방법과 구별된다. 산소용해수의 산소전달효율은 기존 방법과 큰 차이를 보이기 때문에 실제 적용시에는 대상수를 이용하여 산소전달계수($K_{L}a$)를 사전에 산정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술 연구원의 안동 수자원 환경실험센터 내 실외형 콘크리트 사각반응수조에 산소용해장치 및 확산장치를 결합한 일체형 시스템을 적용시켜 2010년 9월~2011년 1월의 5개월간 결과를 분석, 본 장치의 $K_{L}a$를 산정 후 수질정화의 활용 면에서 검토하였다. $K_{L}a$의 산정에는 다양한 방법이 이용되나 용존 산소 농도의 제어에 한계가 있는 실외 대형실험장에 적합한 Lewis and Whitman의 Two-film 이론에 근거한 정상포기법을 적용하였다. 체적 $80m^3$의 수조 내에서 현장 유지용수를 대상으로 실험한 결과 산소전달계수는 $0.324\pm0.050$/min, 포화농도는 8.64 mg $O_2$/L, 도달시간은 11 /min이 산정되었으며, 이는 기존 산기석 포기의 산소전달계수 범위인 $0.105\pm0.019$ /min보다 약 3.1배 높은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 확산장치의 수류 순환 방향 및 정도를 검토하기 위하여 실험수조에서 1m단위로 격자를 구성한 후 초음파 유속계로 실측한 결과 0.0~2.5 m/s 의 평면적 유속범위를 도출하였다. 그리고 전체 순환을 고려했을 때 용존산소는 약 8시간 후 8.64 mg $O_2$/L 값에 도달하여 안정화 되었으며, 강한 수류순환과 산소용해수에 의해 하상에 존재하는 퇴적물들의 이송 및 산화촉진을 유도하였다. 이를 근거로 실험수조의 체적과 기준 가동시간인 8시간을 적용시켰을 때, 실험구 수질은 대조구와 비교하여 COD, T-N, T-P가 모두 25~35% 개선되었다. 이 결과는 여과공정 없이 단순 순환만을 고려한 물리적 수질정화 방법의 단독 활용 가능성을 나타내며, 기존 연구에서 나타난 SOD (Sediment oxygen demand) 저감 능력을 감안할 때 향후 폐쇄성 수역의 수질관리에도 효율적으로 활용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

다목적댐은 비어있는 저수지 용량을 활용, 상류에서 유입되는 홍수를 저류하여 하류의 피해를 경감시키고, 저류된 저수량을 활용하여 갈수시 생 공 유지용수 등을 목적에 맞게 하류로의 공급에 주요 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 댐 계획에는 상류에서 유입되는 목표 빈도 계획홍수량을 산정하고, 이에 따른 여수로의 계획방류량 등이 포함된 홍수 조절 방안이 수립된다. 다목적댐은 그 중요도 때문에 많은 사회적 재화(財貨)가 투입되어 하천에서 가장 높은 빈도인 200년 빈도 홍수량에 대비하도록 설계되어 있다. 그러나 대부분의 댐 하류 하천에서는 긴 연장에 따른 투자비용 등의 한계로 상류 댐에 미치지 못하는 100년 빈도 이하로 설정되어있다. 이런 상 하류의 홍수계획간 괴리로 댐의 계획 방류량 수준의 홍수 조절시에는 하류 하천에 재난상황으로 발생할 우려가 있다. 기상예보의 고도화로 단기 예보의 정밀도가 높아져 단기간 댐 운영에는 효과적으로 활용되고 있다. 하지만 5일 이후를 예보하는 중 장기예보는 아직까지도 불확실성이 높은 실정이다. 여기에 기후변화 등 기상의 불확실성을 고려하여 홍수기 초 장마와 태풍 등의 영향에 대비하기 위해 무작정 댐을 저(低)수위로 운영하면 이후 여름 가뭄에 취약해 지고, 반대로 저수량 확보의 고(高)수위 운영을 할 경우 연이은 태풍 등 홍수상황에 취약해 지게 된다. 최근 '14~'15년도 낙동강 수계에 여름가뭄으로 안동 임하댐이 가뭄단계에 돌입하는 등 홍수기초 적정 저수량의 확보는 안정적 수자원시설 운영에 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 불확실한 기상상황에 대비하고 댐의 이치수 목적 달성을 위해, 홍수기초 가능한 저수량을 확보하되 계획홍수량이 들어와도 하류피해는 경감시킬 수 있는 저수지 수위를 찾고자하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강 수계 9개 다목적댐(안동, 임하, 성덕, 보현산, 군위, 김천부항, 합천, 남강, 밀양댐)을 대상으로 댐 설계 및 직하류 하천 상황을 고려한 "홍수기초 댐 저수량 확보 수위 검토"를 실시하였다. 댐 직하류 하천의 홍수대비 상황 및 홍수조절시 제약사항 등을 조사해 주요지점(Critical Point)을 선정하고 그 지점의 홍수량을 파악한다. 이어서 저류함수 모형을 활용하여 댐별 저수지 모의 운영을 실시하였다. 대상 댐 저수지에 계획홍수량을 유입시키고 수위를 점차 조정하면서 하류 지점의 홍수량 내의 규모로 방류를 하는 저수지 모의 운영을 실시하였다. 이때 저수지의 계획홍수위를 초과하지 않는 등 안정적 홍수조절이 가능한 특정 수위를 찾아 하류 하천 환경을 고려한 댐 운영 수위로 선정하였다. 최근 홍수기총에는 강수량이 계속 줄어들고 홍수기 이후 더 많은 강수가 내리는 등 기후변화로 댐 운영은 날로 어려워지고 있다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 홍수기초 가뭄 및 장마 또는 태풍 등에 대비하여 댐 운영의 이 치수 두 가지 목적을 달성하는데 참고가 될 수 있을 것이다.

The magnitude and frequency of extreme floods are increasing owing to the effects of climate change. Therefore, multipurpose flood management techniques incorporating nature-based solutions have been introduced to mitigate the limitations of flood management and river design methods relying on existing observation data. Nature-based solutions to prepare for such extreme flooding events include ways to retreat the embankment, expand the floodplain, and reduce flood damage. To apply these technologies, adopting appropriate location selection methods based on various evaluation factors, such as flood damage reduction effects, sustainable ecological environments, river connectivity, and physical channel structure enhancements, should be prioritized. Therefore, in this study, the optimal location for implementing the multipurpose floodplain construction project was determined by selecting the location of the floodplain expansion with objectivity in the river waterfront area upstream of Daecheong Dam to downstream of Yongdam Dam. Through the final location determination, the Dongdaeje and Jeogokje sections were included in the optimal location considering both flood damage reduction and water environment improvement.

Terretial LiDAR surveying is highly useful for maintenance of civil facilities as it can easily detect the temporal deformation of structures or topography. However, for river facilities such as levess, it is difficult to detect the deformation of the topography or structure under vegetations due to the influence of vegetation. Vegetation filters can be divided into color filters and morphological filters. In this study, combined filters with color and morphology are developed to improve the accuracy of vegetation filters. 8 color filters, 6 morphological filters, and 4 combined filters are applied to the vegetation removal on the embankment slope, and their accuracy and calculation time are compared. Color filters show a short calculation time, but the accuracy was low in the vegetation area. Morphological filters show high accuracy in the vegetation area, but low accuracy in places with severe local topographical changes such as heavy rocks. Combined filters also show a tendency similar to morphological filters, but in the case of ExGGM, the accuracy is excellent in both the vegetation and rock area. Considering the accuracy and calculation time, the combined filter ExGGM is suitable for general cases, and the shape filter GrMIn or the complex filter ExGISL is suitable for cases where the local topographical change is not severe.

This study examined the possibility of solving the water shortage problem through the water reuse of buildings through the Suwon water reuse (greywater) facility installation project conducted as a pilot project of Ministry of Environment. Water reuse of individual building units can reduce city water demand by up to 25%. This is a level that can solve the water shortage problem in Korea. However, in order to revitalize the water reuse facilities of individual buildings, it is necessary to solve the problem of the user's rejection of the greywater and the economical problems. The resolution of the user's rejection can be solved by linking the MBR process with the AOP process. When the MBR process and the AOP process are operated in conjunction with each other, it is found that the users do not feel the water quality difference with the tap water. Economical problems can be solved at the water rate levels when the facility capacity is over 100 ton/day considering the construction cost and the operation cost, and when the operation cost alone is over 15 ton/day. Furthermore, when considering the social benefit cost, it is found that profit is generated from 150 ton/day.

Because the present groundwater law broadly regulates a simple and impractical guideline ignoring aquifer characters and geology, general purpose facilities for protection of groundwater contamination is still considered unsatisfactory to ensure groundwater resources. In recent, there have been growing attempts in the packer development as crucial techniques and devices for groundwater protection. This study investigated the application of packer grouting techniques to contaminated groundwaters of two well sites in the Andong and Yeongi areas, both of which revealed a satisfactory effect with improved water quality: 94% decrease in turbidity at the Andong area and 60% decrease in $NO_3$-N, respectively. Based on aquifer characters including geology, weathering depth, fracture pattern, hydraulic gradient, and the flow path of contaminants, the integrated properties of groundwater contamination should be evaluated and treated with the help of accurate analyses such as bore hole imaging and monitoring data. Packer grouting and casing on well to ensure the useful aquifer free of contaminant are expected to play important role in inhibiting the inflow of contaminants when adequately applied. Therefore it is concluded that these can serve as reliable tools in remediation and protection of contaminated groundwater as well as efficient utilization of groundwater.

As the pollution of water resources deteriorates due to industrialization and urbanization, it is difficult to supply clean water through a water treatment method using chlorine. Therefore, the introduction of advanced water treatment facilities using ozone is on the increase. However, epoxy which is used as waterproofing and anticorrosives and stainless steel used in conventional waterproofing and anti-corrosive methods have deteriorated because of the strong oxidizing power of ozone, causing problems such as leaking. Moreover, it even causes the durability degradation of a concrete. Therefore, in this study, metal spraying system was used as the means of constructing a metal panel with excellent ozone resistance and chemical resistance which is an easier method than an existing construction method. Ozone resistance was evaluated in accordance with the type of metal sprayed coatings to develop a finishing method which can prevent the concrete structure of water treatment facilities from deterioration. Furthermore, electrochemical stability in actual sewage treatment plant environment was evaluated. Experimental results showed that Ti has superior ozone resistance after spraying and the electrochemical stability in the sewage treatment plant environment showed that Ti has the highest polarization resistance of $403.83k{\cdot}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, which ensures high levels of durability.
