In general, the caisson having the perforated wall is used to for the purpose of reducing the wave reflection and wave overtopping. In this study, the hydraulic characteristics (reflection coefficient) of the perforated wall caisson chamber filled with aggregates (rocks) were investigated with hydraulic model tests. When the perforated wall chambers were filled with aggregates, the reflection coefficients would increase. However, it was confirmed that the rock filling method into the perforated wall chamber could secure the stability of the structures and satisfy the hydraulic characteristics at a certain level.

In this study, the effect of wave chamber slab on wave pressure along the first and second wall of the perforated caisson breakwater was investigated by performing physical experiment. The experiment was performed without and with the wave chamber slab of the perforated caisson by varying the front wall porosity. The discrepancy in magnitudes of the measured wave pressure along the both walls of the perforated caisson was apparent according to the existence of the wave chamber slab as significantly greater pressures were acquired for all the test cases when the wave chamber was closed upward by the slab. As a result, the magnitudes of the total wave force calculated by integration of the measured wave pressure also were much larger for the caisson breakwater having the wave chamber slab, exceeding the value based on the well known Takahashi's formula (Takahashi and Shimosako, 1994). With respect to the porosity of the front wall, meanwhile, higher pressures were obtained with a larger porosity, at both the first and second wall of the breakwater.

Recently, some attempts to construct slit caisson-type breakwaters are made in Korea. Since slit caisson-type breakwaters are suitable for relatively deep sea areas, a lot of theoretical and experimental researches have been performed. In this study, the reflection characteristics of vertical slit caisson breakwaters are investigated based on the measured data in two-dimensional hydraulic model tests with irregular waves. The experiments were conducted for various cases; variation of porosity of perforated-wall, width of wave chamber, number of slits for single-and double-chamber, respectively. It is found that in the case when the wave steepness (H/L$_{s}$ ) is small, the reflection coefficients are large. The existing researches have shown that the wave reflection is minimized when the nondimensional width of wave chamber B/L is about 0.2~0.25 for the regular waves. However, for the irregular waves the reflection is lowest when $B/L_2$, is 0.13~0.15. For a same porosity condition, the wave dissipation is stronger as the width of s1it is larger. The double-chamber caisson is superior to single- chamber caisson in the wave dissipating effects.

국내에서는 '물손실(누수)을 얼마나 잘 관리하고 있는지' 평가하는 물손실관리 수행능 지표를 '유수율(누수율)' 로 판단하고 있다. 하지만, 유수율은 실제 관리자의 의지와 무관한 인자에 영향을 받을 수 있으며, 지역의 여건상 유수율이 높게 나올 수밖에 없는 지역이 있는가 하면 반대로 지역의 여건 상 유수율이 낮게 나올 수밖에 없는 지역이 있다. 따라서 유수율만을 이용하여 물손실관리 수행능력을 평가하는 지표로는 미흡함이 있는 것으로 판단될 뿐만 아니라 IWA에서는 전통적인 백분율을 이용한 지표(손실율, 유수율, 무수율 등)의 문제를 언급하면서 수자원의 효율적인 사용 혹은 상수도사업의 경제성을 나타내는 목적 외에는 사용하지 말아야 한다고 권고하였다. 현재까지의 연구를 보면, 국내 실정에 맞는 다양한 물손실관리 수행능 지표들이 언급되면서 이에 대한 적합성 및 적용성에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 연구들은 지자체 단위로 물손실관리 수행능 지표에 대한 연구를 진행하였다면, 본 연구에서는 소블럭 단위로 수도통계자료를 분석하여 물손실관리를 위한 어떠한 지표를 이용하는 것이 타당한 방법인지 제시하고자 하였다. 비교분석을 하기 위한 지표인 소블럭별 유수율, 실손실율(누수율), 1인당 실손실량, 급수전당 실손실량, 누수평가지표(ILI)를 산정하고, 그 결과에 따라 소블럭별 순위를 결정하였다. 유수율과 급수인구를 고려한 1인당 실손실량과의 비교분석에서 높은 R² (결정계수)값과 소블럭별 순위변동 폭이 적은 것으로 나타났으나, 유수율과 급수전수를 고려한 급수전당 실손실량 및 배수관의 연장과 급수전수, 평균압력을 고려한 누수평가지표와의 비교분석에서는 낮은 R²값과 소블럭별 순위 변동폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 앞서 언급한 것처럼, 유수율만을 이용하여 물손실관리 수행능을 설명하기에는 부족할 것으로 판단되며, 유수율 외에도 다양한 지표들을 종합적으로 고려했을 때 가장 바람직한 물손실관리 수행능 평가가 될 것으로 사료된다.

Physical experiments were carried out to measure the wave force on the vertical walls of perforated breakwater considering several phases of a wave acting on the breakwater. The maximum horizontal wave force acting on each vertical wall was compared between single and double chamber caisson breakwater. The experimental data in this study showed that the total horizontal wave force for double chamber caisson was 9.6% smaller on average than that for single chamber caisson when the total chamber width was the same for both caissons. Such reduction of the wave force is due to the dissipation of wave energy at the porous middle wall, which is located between the porous front wall and non-porous rear wall.

Design formula for estimating the wave loading on the perforated caisson having two wave chambers is yet available. In this study, the analysis results are presented with the experimental data for the wave force acting on such a breakwater model. Based on the experimental results, it was able to clarify the variation of wave action according to five different wave phases that are associated with peak wave loading at the three vertical walls. Then the force adjustment factor for double-chamber caisson was estimated, similarly as Takahashi and Shimosako (1994), which needs to be further validated with subsequent experiments and practical application in the field.

Hydraulic experiments were carried out to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of solid and perforated-wall caissons of a mixed type breakwater for regular waves of various heights and periods. It was found that a perforated-wall caisson is more advantageous than a solid caisson for such hydraulic characteristics as reflection. transmission, and runup at the front face of the caissons and that the experimental results agree reasonably well with existing theoretical or empirical relationships. Especially the reflection coefficient of a perforated-wall caisson. mainly governed by the resonance in the wave chamber, was found to be minimum when the width of the wave chamber is approximately a quarter of the wave length in the wave chamber.

In this study, the optimal slit length of perforated wall with single chamber below the still water level (SWL) is studied through the two dimensional test. The relationship between the reflection coefficient and the shape of structures such as chamber width(B) and slit length(S) are investigated by applying the various wave conditions. The random waves were used for the test by using Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu frequency spectrum. Minimum reflection coefficient is obtained at $B/L_s{\approx}0.15$ condition, this result is different from the regular wave condition. Also the minimum reflection coefficients are measured at $S/H_s{\approx}2.5$. This means that the optimal slit length below the still water level is 2.5 times of the incident wave height.

본 연구에서는 부유식방파제의 입사면과 전달면이 Slit으로 구성되어있어 유수실이 존재하는 투수성 부유식방파제에 대하여 2차원 자유도운동에 따른 발전가능성을 검토하였다. 입사파랑이 부유식방파제 유수실구간의 내부로 유입될 때 발생하는 강한 와류는 입사파랑의 주기와 파고가 증가할수록 궤적이 높고 길게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여 부유식방파제 유수실구간 입사면과 전달면에 각각 양방향으로 회전이 가능한 수차를 설치하고 와류 발생에 따른 2차 에너지 생성 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 입사파랑의 내습에 따라 수차는 시계방향과 반시계방향으로 회전하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 상대적으로 주기가 긴 규칙파랑 실험조건(파고 0.1m, 주기 2.0sec)에서 약 0.5W 내외의 지속적인 전기에너지를 확보하는 것으로 검토되었다.

The wave height distributions in front of a vertically perforated wall structures for obliquely incident uni-directional irregular waves are mainly investigated by using 3D hydraulic experiments. The difference and similarity of wave propagation along the plain and perforated wall structures are investigated and particularly the effects of side walls in chamber and relative chamber width are analyzed. This study shows that the wave height distribution patterns for normalized wave heights in front of structure is significantly different between the plain and perforated wall structures, and the side wall in the chamber suppresses the growth of waves.
