Objective of this research was to remove the accumulated salts in the plastic film house soils by installing the perforated PVC (${\phi}10cm$) underdrainage pipes at 50 cm depth of soils with cultivating vegetables. Efficiency of the underdrainage pipes was assessed based on the changes of soil chemical properties such as pH, EC, and cations, and growth and yield parameters of the vegetables between the two treatments; the control and the underdrainage pipe treatments. The EC of the underdrainage pipes installed soils after two growing seasons were in the ranges of $1.42-2.88dS\;m^{-1}$ but those of the control were in the ranges of $3.86-4.53dS\;m^{-1}$, indication the underdrainage pipes effectively removed the accumulated salts in soils. The pHs of the control soils and the underdrainage pipe installed soil were in the ranges of 7.2-7.5 and 6.9-7.3, respectively. There was a significant correlation between pH and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soils ($CEC=17.107{\times}pH-106.2$, $r^2=0.759$, P < 0.05). The ECs of the soils at different depths were compared between the two treatments after cultivating vegetables with lettuce-lettuce-garland chrysanthemum rotation systems. The ECs of the control soils at depths of 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, and 40-50 cm were 3.45, 3.47, 3.03, 2.03, and $2.28dS\;m^{-1}$, respectively, with decreasing with soil depths. On the other hand, the respective ECs of the underdrainage pipes installed soils were 2.43, 2.52, 2.28, 4.00, and $4.23dS\;m^{-1}$ with increasing with soil depths. This might be derived from the salts moved downward with the draining water into the subsoil. The order of cations moved downward was Mg > Ca > K, based on the ratios of cations at specific depth over those at the surface soil. The survival rates of lettuce after 15 days of transplanting in the underdrainage pipe installed soils were 98.2% as compared to 86.6% of the control. The underdrainage pipe treatment also increased the diameter of the lettuce stalk from 12.9mm of the control to 13.7mm. Overall results demonstrated that the installment of the underdrainage pipes in the subsoils of the salt accumulated plastic film house soil effectively removed the salts by leaching downward,resulting in lowering soil EC and enhancing the growth and yield of vegetables.

It is important to pay careful attention to the backfill construction for the structural integrity of concrete box culvert. To increase the structural integrity of culvert good compaction by the dynamic compaction roller with big capacity is as effective as good backfill materials. However structural distress of the culvert could be occurred due to the excessive earth pressure by great dynamic compaction load. In this study, two box culverts were constructed with change compaction materials and construction methods. Two type of on-site soils such as subbase and subgrade materials were used as backfill materials. In most case, dynamic compaction rollers with 11 to 12 ton weights were used and vibration frequency were applied from 2000 to 2500 rpm for the great compaction energy. Backfill compactions with good quality soils were carried out to examine the effect of cushions on dynamic lateral soil pressure. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and rubber of tire were adapted as cushion materials and they are set on the culverts before backfill construction. This paper presents the main results on the characteristics of dynamic earth pressures. Test result indicates that the amounts of increased dynamic pressures are affected with backfill materials, depth of pressure cell, and compaction condition. The earth pressure during compaction can give harmful effect to box culvert because the value of dynamic earth pressure coefficient $(\DeltaK_{dyn}=\DeltaK\sigma_h\DeltaK\sigma_v)$ during compaction is greater than that of static condition. It was observed that cushion panels of EPS(t=10cm) and rubber(t=5cm) are effective to mitigate dynamic lateral pressure on the culverts.

The local migration or movement behavior of fishes in streams are related to feeding, spawning, growing, dispersing, and refuging. The pale chub (Zacco platypus) is a dominant species that migrates locally and inhabits in river and stream in Korea. However, dams, weirs, culverts and other regulatory structures are physical barriers that limit fish movement and fragment habits and populations. If main stream and off-channel habitats are connected with culverts, they would restrict the small fish as pale chub movement due to the high flow velocities and low depths. But in Korea, there is no experimental study to evaluate the swimming performance of species in Korea. Therefore, it is difficult to proposed that design guidelines for pass fishes through culverts. The purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate the swimming performance of pale chubs. A series of swimming performance test has been used in both of the fixed velocity and the incremental velocity methods in an experimental flume. As a result, the critical swimming speed for pale chub(body length 8.9 cm) was found to be about 0.7 m/s. Therefore, the flow velocity for culvert design in the low flow condition should not be exceed the its swimming ability, especially 0.7 m/s for pale chubs(body length 8.9 cm). And the minimum depth for culvert design in the low flow condition should not be lower than the fish body height add a dorsal fin height.

The purpose of this study was to verify experimentally debris reduction facilities for culverts installed in small rivers. A culvert is defined as a structure laid under a road or a railroad that passes through an inner urban area or downtown area to make an artificial canal. Culverts are generally categorized into road culverts or waterway culverts, among which the latter are artificial structures designed to discharge running water into a river. At the time of floods, the structural safety of waterway culverts can be undermined by the accumulation of debris, such as soil, boughs and weeds, and they may be at risk of overflowing due to blockages. Debris reduction facilities are necessary to prevent such damage. In this study, the effects of the three existing types of debris reduction facilities were examined through hydraulic experiments. The results of the experiments showed that vertical separation to divert debris reduced the accumulation rate by 27.65 to 31.39 percent. The two types of screen designed to block and divert debris, respectively, were found to have excellent debris blocking abilities. However, when the effects of the rising water level are considered simultaneously, the screen to divert debris was found to show superior effects. The screen to block debris can be considered to have excellent debris blocking ability, but requires the continuous collection of the debris, due to the high risk of rising water levels caused by its accumulation.

This paper deals with the characteristics of deformation of the underground corrugated steel plate culverts constructed in the areas where the minimum depth of within 1.5 m soil cover is not secured in the bottom of highways. The underground corrugated steel plate culverts at shallow depth are often designed and constructed with the consideration of the minimum depth of soil cover according to the design standards, which was made in order to minimize any deformation. Additionally, if under unfavorable conditions, slabs are set up for stress relaxation to disperse and minimize the weight of loads transferred to the corrugated steel plate culverts. Nevertheless, if the underground corrugated steel plate culverts are built in areas where the minimum depth of soil cover inevitably cannot be secured, there may occur some deformation. In this paper, a research was carried out to identify the characteristics of deformation in areas where the minimum depth of soil cover is not secured. The result shows that there existed the deterioration of pavement and in its smoothness around the corners of slabs for stress relaxation. To this end, this paper studied the structural stability of the underground corrugated steel plate culverts established in the areas with no minimum depth of soil cover secured, with the consideration of causes and solutions of pavement deterioration.

홍수 시 하천을 따라 유하되는 유송잡물(잡목, 생활쓰레기 등)은 구조물에 집적이 이루어지며 이로 인해 물의 흐름을 방해하고 구조물 주변의 지반을 약화시키거나 월류로 인해 심각한 피해를 야기 시킨다. 교량의 경우 유송잡물의 집적은 교각의 항력을 증가시켜 전도파괴를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 교각주변 흐름교란을 통한 하상세굴로 인해 기초부를 파괴시키기도 한다. 또한 통수단면적 증가로 인해 높아진 수위는 제방을 월류시켜 재산 및 인명피해를 유발하기도 한다. 암거의 경우 유송잡물을 포함한 토사로 인해 단면폐색 및 침식으로 암거의 파괴를 발생시키고 이로인해 도로의 단절을 가져오기도 한다. 이러한 유송잡물에 대한 차단대책은 현재 까지 유지관리를 통한 방법만이 최선책으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 국외에서 소개되고 있는 유송잡물 피해저감시설을 대상으로 축소모형실험을 통해 효과를 확인하고 이를 통해 저감시설의 효율에 대해 소개하고자 하는 것이 주목적이다. 유송잡물 저감시설은 교량의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 우회말뚝 방법, 스위퍼를 이용한 방법으로 소개하고 있으며 이들 방법의 특징은 유송잡물 우회를 통해 집적을 저감하는 방식이다. 암거의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 스크린 방법, 우회스크린을 이용하는 방법 등이 있으며 수직분리대는 교량과 마찬가지로 우회방식을 기본방식으로 스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 차단을 원칙으로 하고 있다. 실험의 결과는 교량과 암거의 차단시설 유무에 따른 유송잡물의 집적률을 대상으로 하였다. 차단시설이 없는 경우 교량에서의 집적률은 97.9% ~ 99.2%의 집적률로 나타났다. 수직분리대의 경우 유송잡물 집적률은 49.3%, 우회말뚝은 0.0% ~ 4.2%의 범위로 매우 높은 차단효과를 보이고 있었다. 스위퍼방식의 경우 집적률은 5.3% ~ 20.9%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 판단하였을 때 차단시설 설치로 인한 교량에 대한 직접적인 차단효과는 수직분리대 < 스위퍼 < 우회말뚝 순으로 높은 차단효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우회말뚝에서의 집적률이 한계치를 넘어선다면 유송잡물로 인해 흐름교란, 수위 및 하상변동, 말뚝의 유실 등으로 인한 피해가 예상된다. 암거대상 유송잡물 차단시설 실험결과는 수직분리대의 경우 type과 투하방법에 따라 차이가 있지만 집적률은 14.7% ~ 64.9%의 범위로 나타났다. 스크린과 우회스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 우회가 아닌 차단이 목적이므로 유송잡물 집적에 의한 수위상승이 우려되는바 수위영향을 검토하였다. 검토결과 스크린 설치로 인한 수위상승이 우회스크린보다 높게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스크린의 형태적인 측면에서 2면을 통해 집적되는 특성을 갖는 우회스크린이 통수단면적을 많이 확보하기 때문이다. 따라서 국부적인 수위상승으로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 설치여건이 허용된다면 통수단면적 확보가 유리한 우회스크린 설치가 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
