Developed is a new environment-friendly concrete-block retaining wall system. The conventional analysis methods are not directly applicable because the proposed concrete-block wall system is made of by interlocking the blocks with shear keys. Therefore, the shear analysis as well as stability analysis have been conducted to secure the safety of block-wall system. Overall slope stability analysis was also performed. An appropriate strengthening method was developed to ensure the safety when the block-wall system is relatively high. The method of analysis for strengthening the concrete-block wall system was also proposed. The proposed environment-friendly concrete block retaining wall system shows reasonable safety and can be a good construction method for retaining walls and river bank walls.

하천에 있어서 저수호안의 수충부는 수리학적 안정성이 요구되는 부분이나 이에 대한 신뢰성있는 자료와 적정 공법의 선정 방안이 마련되어 있지 않고 있으며, 국내 자연형하천 조성을 위하여 하천하안에 적용된 공법들은 대부분 콘크리트블록, 발파석, 강화석, 전석, 잡석 등 견고한 재료를 활용한 공법이었다. 최근 하천의 생태환경 조성으로 인하여 식생에 의한 공법 개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있으나 이의 치수적인 평가는 진행되고 있지 않으며, 이들 각종 공법의 적용여부는 주로 소류력의 평가에 의한 것으로 하천의 생태적 환경보다는 치수적인 관점에서 적용되고 있다. 국내 생태하천의 경우 호안의 경사가 1:2~1:5정도로 매우 완만한 것이 보통이며, 급강하 하천이 아니기 때문에 설계유속은 2~3m/s 정도이다. 본 연구에서는 경사에 따른 호안의 안정성을 검증하기 위하여 3차원 모델인 Flow-3D를 이용하여 길이 20m, 폭 2m, 높이 1m의 개수로 장치를 구성하였으며, 호안의 조도변화에 따른 유량별 2차원 유속분포 및 Froude수를 산정하여 분석하였다.

This study was performed to evaluate the void ratio and strength of porous polymer concrete used coarse aggregates and unsaturated polyester resin to find optimum mix design of porous polymer concrete for planting block. Also, this study was performed to evaluate the planting properties of herbaceous plant and cool-season grass in porous polymer blocks based on the experimental results of porous polymer concrete to develop environmentally friendly planting blocks. Tests for the void ratio and compressive strength of porous polymer concrete were performed at the curing age 7 days. Also, kinds of plants such as Tall fescue, Perennial ryegrass, Lespedeza and Alfalfa for planting were applied to porous polymer blocks. Within 6 weeks after seed, initial germination ratio, cover view and growth length for planting blocks were estimated by various methods.

기후변화 및 도시열섬화 등의 영향으로 여름철 폭염 및 봄·겨울철 미세먼지 영향은 증가하고 있다. 최근 40년(1980년~2019년) 동안 서울의 최고기온은 2.2℃ 증가하였으며, 이는 전국에서 두 번째로 높은 증가추세이다. 서울시는 도시열섬과 미세먼지 저감을 일환으로 '스마트 물순환도시 조성사업'을 추진하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울형 물순환도시 소개와 더불어 쿨링포그, 쿨루프, 클린로드시스템, 투수블록, 식생수로 빗물정원 등 수자원을 활용한 기술을 조사하고 문헌조사를 통해 저감효과를 비교분석하였다. 이는 수자원을 활용한 도시 형태 개선으로 쾌적한 도시환경 조성 뿐만 아니라 시민의 행복과 만족감 증대에 기여할 것으로 판단되며, 향후 서울형 스마트 물순환도시 보다 많은 지역에 확대운영 할 수 되도록 기여하고자 한다.

The cemented sand and gravel (CSG) method is a construction technique that adds cement and water to rock-like materials, such as rivered gravel or excavation muck which that can be obtained easily at areas adjacent to dam sites. This study was performed to evaluate the planting properties of herbaceous plant and cool-season grass in CSG blocks that were manufactured by using CSG materials to develop environmentally friendly CSG method. The two types of CSG-0 without cement and CSG-100 with $100\;kg/m^3$ of cement were designed to evaluate compaction, unconfined compressive strength and growth of plants with cement content by using modified E compaction. To analyze growth properties of plants, germination ratio, visual cover, plant height and root length were measured in 4 weeks and 8 weeks after sowing. As the results, the germination regardless kinds of plants started within 5~7days and the germination ratio were in the range of 50~60 %. The visual cover of kinds of plants by visual rating system were in the range of 7~8 and the visual cover of tall fescue and perennial ryegrass was higher than that of lespedeza cuneata. The plant height and root length for tall fescue and perennial ryegrass in 8 weeks after sowing were in the range of 22~26 cm, 12~15 cm and 4~6 cm, 3~5 cm, respectively.

The interest in LID facilities is increasing worldwide for recovery of natural water cycle system to destroy by urbanization. However, problems are raised when installation of LID because comprehensive analysis about design capacity adequacy of LID facilities was not conducted completely. In this research, removal efficiency and design volume adequacy of LID facilities were analyzed based on rainfall monitoring data in four LID facilities(Vegetated Swale, Vegetative Filter Strip, Bio-Retention and Permeable Pavement). As a result, group of LID facility designed on WQV was shown higher flow(37%) and pollutants(TSS, BOD, TN and TP) removal efficiencies(20 ~ 37%) than group of LID facility designed on WQF. SA/CA graph was drawn for evaluation of design volume adequacy based on rainfall monitoring data. In this SA/CA graph, coefficient of determination show over 0.5 in all parameter, especially, Flow and TP were show over 0.95. And, 'SA/CA & L/CA' graph considering difference of structure mechanism in LID facility suggested in this research was confirmed that improved coefficient of determination in flow, TSS and TP than SA/CA graph. According to this research results, feasibility of applying 'SA/CA & L/CA' graph for evaluation of design volume adequacy in LID facility, and it is necessary to follow up research for generalization and normalization.

This study is a basic research on the functional performance review for the use of environmentally friendly construction materials as lapilli-bio block. The neutralization processed Mt. Backdusan and Mt. Hallasan lapilli-bio block were identified vegetation characteristics and water purification properties. As a result, the adsorption of root was more favorable, depending on the material properties of many voids Lapilli. And if the neutralization processed lapilli-bio blocks maintain a long-term immersion conditions in contaminated water was found to be expected from the improvement effect of SS, T-N and T-P. However, field trials and continuous studies are expected to be identified by the use of lapilli-bio block.

This study was performed to evaluate the planting properties and root potential of planting block with mixing seeding of herbaceous plants and cool-season grasses in CSG blocks manufactured by cemented sand and materials (CSG) in order to develop environmentally friendly CSG block applied revegetation. Five types of CSG mix designs with cement contents were determined, and the mechanical properties of CSG materials were studied experimentally. To analyze growth properties of plants within CSG block, germination ratio, visual cover, plant height and root potential were measured in four weeks and eight weeks after seeding. The germination regardless mixture seeding of plants and CSG mixproportions started within 4 ~ 7 days after seeding and the germination ratio were in the range of 60 ~ 65 %. The visual cover of kinds of plants evaluated by visual rating system were in the range of 6 ~ 8 in case of seeding the species of cool-season grasses and were in the range of 4 ~ 6 in case of seeding the species of herbaceous plants in four weeks after seeding. The root potential of CSG block with the species of cool-season grasses and herbaceous plants were in the range of $5.7{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}7.7{\times}10^{-3}$ MPa and $2.3{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.7{\times}10^{-3}$ MPa in eight weeks after seeding, respectively.

The study was conducted to present the criteria of plant selection and planting design pattern suitable for the vegetation blocks which are becoming more popular for the facade greenery in urban areas. The main results are summarized as follows. 1. Under irrigated conditions, the plant grew better than that of unirrigated conditions and herbs grew better than shrubs. In selection of shrubs, it would be more proper to consider the size and depth of the pockets. 2. Under unirrigated conditions, Sedum middendorffianum and foreign sedums grew well, so it can be concluded that sedums can grow at low management condition. And, Hosta longipes and Aceriphyllum rossii could be survive at low management conditions only if irrigation was conducted at dry season. But, shrubs needed irrigation management for survival at vegetation blocks. 3. The results of this study, it can be concluded that greenery of walls and retaining walls might be effective for the creation of green space, improvement of urban landscapes, and the creation of diverse biotopes in urban areas with vegetation blocks.
