As the development of national lands increase, the necessity to develop less favorable terrain also increases. It also becomes more difficult and complicated to provide access that is both economical and safe from contributing to soil erosion on roadsides and to londscape damages. Because of the increased and justified emphasis upon environmental degradation, proper stabilization of the cut-and bank slopes of roadsides, plant sites and building sites in Korea requires careful planning as well as execution of the constructions. All fill slopes should be compacted to a degree consistent with design standards and material properties. Drainage facilities should be provided to prevent damaging concentrations of surface runoff and to avoid high pore pressures in cuts and fills. All surfaces of cut-fill slopes should be revegetated with suitable species as soon as possible after construction. To stabilize the cut-fill slopes of highway roadsides should be considerded the factor of stabilization as well as landscape conservation especially. Such basic influences as the effects of vegetations on water balance of rain fall, on the control of surface erosion and on the surface slope failures are briefly discussed in the report.

Recent abnormal weather condition and accompanying increase in forest fire require more study on the effect of forest fire on the stability of mountain slopes. The aims of this paper are to investigate how destroy of trees caused by forest fire influences the stability of mountain slopes and to propose a safety evaluation method for mountain slopes considering the effect of forest fire, in order to minimize the expected damage due to forest fire. To accomplish this aim, the effects of forest fire on the stability of mountain slopes are analyzed in quantitative way, and a slope stability chart is proposed as a result.

새롭게 개발된 미생물의 부산물인 바이오 폴리머는 토양의 강도를 높이고, 식물의 생장을 촉진시킨다. 본 연구에서는 실규모 수리 실험을 수행하여 바이오 폴리머를 이용한 호안 공법의 침식 저항 성능을 평가하였다. 실험을 위하여 다수의 호안 공법 시험체를 제작하였고, 이 시험체를 실 규모 실험수로에 설치하고 수리 실험을 통해 토양 손실과 이에 따른 한계 소류력을 결정하였다. 실험에는 일반 흙을 피복한 시험체, 바이오 폴리머와 혼합한 흙을 피복한 시험체, 식생매트와 바이오 폴리머 혼합토를 결합한 시험체 등이 사용되었다. 실험결과 재료나 식생의 활착도에 따른 차이는 있었으나 바이오 폴리머를 이용한 시험체의 침식 저항 성능이 바이오 폴리머를 이용하지 않은 시험체에 비해 높게 나타나는 것은 일관되게 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 바이오 폴리머를 이용한 호안공법이 기존 호안 공법의 침식 저항성능을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 바이오 폴리머를 제방 호안 시공에 활용한다면 홍수로 인한 제방의 유실이나 파괴를 상당 부분 예방할 수 있을 것이다.

Heavy rainfall intensity may cause shallow slope failures and debris flow by rill erosion and scour on land surface. The paper represents the difference between native soil (weathered soil) and reinforced soil, which is mixed by hardening agent with flyash as main material, for investigating experimental findings of rill erosion and erosion. Results obtained from artificial rainfall simulator show that erosion rate of reinforced soil mixed with hardening agent is reduced by 20% because an amount of eroded soil on slope surface is inversely proportional to the increase of soil strength. For example, rainfall of 45mm (at the elapsed time of 25mins in rainfall intensity of 110mm/hr) triggers rill erosion on native soil surface, but the rill erosion on reinforced soil surface does not even occur at 330mm rainfall (at the elapsed time of 3hrs in rainfall intensity of 110mm/hr). As a result of slope stability analysis, it was found that the construction method for reinforced soil surface would be more economical, easy and fast construction technology than conventional reinforcement method.

Shoreline armoring is a globally used engineering strategy to prevent shoreline erosion along stream, lake and reservoir coastlines. Armoring alters the land-water interface and has the potential to affect shoreline vegetation by changing nearshore geomorphology, hydrology, sediment composition and water quality. We quantified the effects of the artificial disturbances and alternation of the land-water interface on the community structure and distribution of shoreline vegetation in a large reservoir, Uiam Reservoir, Korea. More than 60% of shorelines were disturbed by armoring with retaining wall of concrete block, riprap and gabion in the Uiam Reservoir. The results of detrended correspondence analysis showed that the vegetation structures of the shoreline modified by armoring changed from hydrophyte-dominated to hygrophyte-dominated ecosystems. The shoreline armoring caused the disruption of gradual continuity in the water-land interface and the biological invasion by alien plants. The changes in distribution area of shoreline vegetation showed that the area of hydrophytic vegetation decreased and that of hygrophytic vegetation increased from 2010 to 2013. In conclusion, the human disturbance such as armoring, road construction, recreation etc. could lead to terrestrialization, the loss of transverse continuity and biological invasion in the shoreline vegetation of the Reservoir Uiam. Our findings suggest that redesigning or removing shoreline armoring structures may benefit nearshore hydrophytic vegetation for the conservation of novel shoreline ecosystems.

제방은 홍수로부터 주변 주거지와 농경지를 보호하는 가장 전통적이고 기본적인 구조물이다. 개발된 제방보강기술은 파이오폴리머와 골재를 혼합하여 제방표면을 강화하여 월류 등으로 인한 제방붕괴를 대응할 수 있는 친환경 제방보강기술로 제방의 세굴 및 붕괴 등을 억제하는 목적이 있다. 개발 기술은 하천호안 사면 및 제방을 안전하게 보호하기 위한 기술로 치수방재사업과 자연재해 영향을 저감시키는 사업에 활용가능하며 시공성이 수월하여 월류파괴에 대한 대응 기술로 적용이 용이하다. 개발된 기술을 현장에 적용하기 위해서는 기술의 안전성을 확보해야 하므로 현장시범사업 등 실제 적용에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 하지만 월류 파괴는 현장에서 시범사업을 수행할 수 없으므로 본 연구에서는 실규모 실험을 통해 현장 적용성 연구를 수행하였다. 실규모 실험은 안동에 위치한 하천실험센터에서 수행하였으며, 인위적인 월류를 통하여 제방 세굴 및 붕괴 상황을 검토하였다. 실험결과 대조조건으로 식생 제방의 경우 25분경에 붕괴되었고, 개발 기술은 월류 발생 후 2시간 동안 제내지 경사면에서 균열이 발생하지 않았다. 개발기술이 월류파괴에 대해 대응 가능하고 붕괴를 억제할 수 있는 기술로의 실증 결과를 파악 할 수 있었다.

For restoration of disturbed ecosystem in Lake Paro, artificial floating island (AFI) was installed. Even though the lake water was oligo-mesotrophic, the macrophytes, such as Iris ensata, Iris pseudoacorus, Phragmites communis were growing well in the rubberized coconut fiber media. For elucidating this process, total bacterial numbers, active bacterial numbers and exoenzymatic activities of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ and phosphatase of pore water of media and lake water were analyzed. The average of total bacterial numbers, active bacterial numbers and exoenzymatic activities of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ and phosphatase were $28.6{\times}10^{6}\;cells/ml,\;22.7{\times}10^{6}\;cells/ml,\;452.9nM/L/hr,\;and\;16381.9nM/L/hr$ which were 10, 15, 22 and 38 times higher than those of lake water, respectively. Moreover, the total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentration of media showed high values of 0.82 mg/L and 7.0 mg/L, respectively, while those of lake water 0.07 mg/L and 2.3 mg/L. This results suggest that the bacteria was playing an important role for restoration of disturbed ecosystem with newly created microbial ecosystem in media of artificial floating island.

The characteristic of vegetation mat prepared from miscanthus, waste wood chip, perlite and pulp slurry was investigated. The pore rate was increased with amount of pulp slurry. The hydraulic conductivity decreased with the amount of miscanthus in the condition mixed with each other raw materials. With the miscanthus amount, the soil hardness was increased. The peel strength decreased with the mount of miscanthus amount in all case. Hydrogen ion concentration (pH) was the overall alkaline. The MOR of miscanthus based vegetation mat was decreased with the amount miscanthust.

This paper presents a field study of the stability of slope collapsed during road construction and proposes a reasonable countermeasure if the current slope is unstable. As a result of slope investigation, it was found that the slope includes five tension cracks and the sliding surface is started from the tension crack and propagated the surface soil layer through weathered rock layer. The slope stability analyses are conducted in case of dry and rainfall seasons. The results indicate that the slope is unstable status. A reinforcement method of slope failure should be selected according to the scale of failure. That is, the scale of slope failure, which is classified small, middle and large size determines the reinforcement method of slope. Since the slope interested in this study is large size failure slope, the reinforcement method to control slope failure is selected stabilizing piles, and seed spray and drainage of surface waterare also selected to remain the factor of safety. The SLOPILE (Ver. 3.0) program is applied in order to do stability analysis of slope reinforced by piles. As the result of analysis, the slope reinforced by a row of piles shows the stable state. It is clearly confirmed that the stabilizing of piles can improve the stability of slope.
