This study investigates the characteristics of stem waves along a vertical structure under overtopping conditions through laboratory experiments in a wave basin. The uni-directional random waves with Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu frequency spectrum as incident waves were used. This study is focused on the reduction of wave height due to the variation of relative freeboard height (R) and the results for wave overtopping conditions are compared with those for non-overtopping conditions. Though the relative wave height along a vertical structure decreases with the decrease of relative freeboard, the variation of stem width is not significant. For the relative freeboard is greater than 1, the reduction effect of stem wave height by overtopping can be ignored in this experiments. The reduction effect of wave height along the structure for R =0.5 is about 10% comparing with R =1.5.

The importance of resonable treatment of tide characteristics has been shown by Kweon, et al. (2005, 2006) for the crest elevation estimation because of a big difference of tidal elevation along Korean coast. For the procedure of crest elevation design, the expected overtopping probability (EOP) was estimated by Kweon, et al. (2006). The comparisons on each sea showed that EOP was lower east, south and west sea in order. The results involved the assumption that the tide and design level wave height meet any time in a year. However, big waves mainly occur in summer or winter in Korean coast, the study focuses on the encounter probability of big waves and seasonal tide level. A theory of the encounter probability is not derived by the present study but it shows reasonable acceptability of the proposed scenario in which the expected overtopping probability could be an index for the crest elevation estimation in Korean coast. The calculation based on the scenario gives the possibility range for the crest elevation estimation which has no tendency of each sea along Korean peninsular. The range is within the expected overtopping probability of 1% in the whole coast of Korea.

Waves progressing into the coastal area can be amplified, swashed and overtopped by a wave overtopping control structure, and it converts the kinetic energy of the waves to the potential energy with a hydraulic head above the mean sea level by conserving the overflow in a reservoir. Then the potential energy in the form of hydraulic head can be converted to electric power utilizing extremely low-head hydraulic turbine. This study aims to find the most optimal shape of wave overtopping structure which maximizes overtopping volume rate of sea water. Laboratory experiments for the performance evaluation of wave overtopping control structures were carried out in three dimensional wave tank, and the three dimensional structure models with planar wave concentration shapes(B/b) were manufactured into five classes, which were optimized by cross sectional parameters of the structure, ie, length of ramp(l), gradient of inclined ramp($cot{\phi}$) and freeboard height of the wave overtopping structure($h_e$) proposed by Shin and Hong(2005). The wave overtopping discharges were investigated with 20 incident wave conditions and wave directions of $0^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$.

월파조건에서 직립벽을 따른 연파특성에 대한 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 제체전면을 따른 파고분포를 살펴보면, 상대여유고에 따른 파고변화는 어느 정도 나타났다. 제체 직각 방향으로의 결과에서 상대파고의 감소는 연파의 폭범위내에서 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 보다 자세한 분석과 월파량과 연계한 분석을 수행할 예정이다.

A reliability analysis is straightforwardly applied to the sloped coastal structures against the random wave overtopping. A reliability function can be directly derived from a empirical formula in which may take into account many variables associated with the random wave overtopping. The probability of failure exceeded the allowable overtopping discharge can be evaluated as a function of dimensionless crest height with some reasonable statistical properties and distribution functions of each random variable. Some differences of probabilities of failure occurred from variations of the slopes of structures as well as types of armour are investigated into quantitatively. Additionally, the effects of the crest width of units placed in front of the concrete cap on the probability of failure may be analyzed. Finally, the sensitivity analyses are carried out with respect to the uncertainties of random variables. It is found that the overall characteristics similar to the known experimental results are correctly represented in this reliability analyses. Also, it should be noted that the probabilities of failure may be quantitatively obtained for several structural and hydraulic conditions, which never assess in the deterministic design method. Thus, it may be possible for determination on the crest height of sloped coastal structures to consider the probability of failure of wave overtopping, by which may be increased the efficiency of practical design.

As commercial and residential areas are actively developed around the coastal area with excellent scenery, installing coastal structures such as seawalls and breakwaters is continuously increasing to secure safe coastal regions. Additionally, the increase in the intensity of natural disasters due to climate change may cause higher incident waves than in the past, which may further aggravate the damage caused by wave overtopping. In this study, compared to the existing vertical seawall, we investigated the effect of wave overtopping reduction of a recurved seawall, which actively reflects the incoming waves, through the hydraulic model test. As a result of the hydraulic model experiment, it was confirmed that there was an effect of up to 92.4% of wave overtopping reduction in average compared to the vertical seawall and structures covered with armor blocks.

In this study, it was examined for the reduction of wave overtopping and water level fluctuation in front of the revetment when applying a reinforcement method to revetment where wave overtopping occurs. As a result of the study, in the case of the cross-sectional experiment. more than 70% of the wave overtopping reduction effect depending on the reinforcement conditions was occurred, and it was analyzed that the result increases by about four times or more in the comparison with the 3d test. The average water level in front of the revetment was lowered when a low crest structure was not installed. and there was a tendency to rise under the condition of low crest structures installed. In the comparison with the wave basin test, there was a difference of about 0.5 to 0.6 times when a low crest structure was not installed, and it was increased by 5.5 times after low crest structures were installed.

최근 쓰나미와 해일 등 이상기후에 의한 해수면 상승 등으로 인한 해안지역의 침수가 빈번해지고 있다. 태풍 매미의 경우, 피해규모는 인명피해 130명, 이재민 4089세대 10975명, 재산피해 4조 7810억원이며 침수피해는 규모는 주택 21,015동과 농경지 37,986ha으로 나타났다. 특히 이 태풍은 경남 사천시 부근 해안에 상륙할 때의 중심기압은 950hPa로 중심부근 최대풍속 40m/s 이었으며 풍속 15 m/s 이상으로로, 태풍의 강도는 [강], 크기는 [중형]이었음에도 그 피해는 과거에 비해 크게 나타났다. 내륙과는 달리 해일 등의 피해로 인한 해안지역의 침수피해 저감기법은 월파방지 파라펫 설치 또는 침수예상 지역의 지반고를 높이는 이외에는 확실한 대책이 없는 것이 특징이라 하겠다. 따라서 해안지역 침수예방은 월파방지 파라펫과 함께 인명피해 최소화를 위해서는 충분한 선행시간을 통한 대피안내와 가장 효율적인 대피경로를 제공하는 것이 최선이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 경남 창원지역의 해수면 상승으로 인한 해안지역 침수를 모의할 수 있는 2차원 부정류 프로그램을 개발하고 매미 당시 창원지역의 침수피해 결과와 비교하여 프로그램 모의 결과를 검증하였다. 해안을 따라 다양한 높이의 월파방지 파라펫을 모의하여 시간대별 대상지역의 침수규모를 시간대별로 예측하였다. 모의결과 월파방지 파라펫 규모 별 침수규모와 이에 따른 경제적 피해규모를 산정하였으며 경제성 원칙에 따른 최적의 파라펫 규모를 제시하였다. 또한 이때 시간대별 침수범위 예측 결과를 바탕으로 시간대별 등침수선을 제시하고 일정 시간대별 등침수선을 모의결과를 이용하여 산정하였다. 도로 경사와 대피자의 연령 등을 고려한 대피소요 시간을 산정하여 침수 소요 시간과 비교하여 대피가 가능한 대피경로를 제시하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 연구결과는 기존에 알려진 대피경로와는 달리 다양한 침수저감 기법규모에 따라 다양한 대피경로를 제안할 수 있었으며 이는 추후 다양한 대피 시나리오를 제시할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Tsunamis generated by of the 1992 Flores Island Earthquake in Indonesia caused tremendous casualties and damages. This tsunami event was hindcasted via numerical tsunami models. Initial conditions were taken from fault parameters from Havard CMT (Centroid Moment Tensor) solution and additional subaqueous slump consideration at the Inner Hading Bay and Riang Krok, Leworahang coasts. The computed results showed general agreements with observations made by the International Tsunami Survey Group. Subsequently a runup model was developed to investigate catastrophic runup at southern shore of the Babi Island with fine grid resolution of 50 m. Computed results were recorded to construct rendered images for video animation. The computer-graphic aided video animation showed a remarkable reproduction of tsunami propagation and runup at southern coast of the Babi Island.
