An experimental study is performed on reducing the pollutants supplied by storm water through enhancing efficiency of SS from the detention storage tank where CSOs are kept temporarily before discharge to the receiving water system. SS removal efficiency is investigated in accordance with various conditions of the detention pond-such as its length, the existence of training wall, and the use of gravel filling. The removal efficiency is strongly affected by the detention pond's length until the critical falling distance of the suspended solids is reached. For cases where the tank has a length longer than this critical condition, the removal rate shows less sensitivity. To enhance the SS removal efficiency of tanks of shorter than the critical length, we studied alternative types of tank in which inside training walls are installed. The results showed improvement of 14 to 37% in removal efficiency in 2hours detention(2 training walls). The important factor in achieving a high SS removal rate is ensuring the critical length of the detention pond, but for the cases where the basin length cannot be guaranteed, baffles or a gravel filling scheme may be introduced to attain considerable efficiency. The results of studying and comparing different storage tank conditions show that, in terms of elimination efficiency, a storage tank with gravel filling and training walls > a storage tank with gravel filling > a storage tank with training walls > an empty tank. The experimental results should contribute to development of related further research, by empirically verifying the already assumed importance of critical falling distance, training walls, and gravel filling schemes.

하천수의 수심을 유지하기 위하여 설치된 콘크리트 취수보 대신 강자갈이나 쇄석을 채움재로 하는 돌망태를 사용하게 되면 토사퇴적으로 인한 건천화나 상, 하류 수생태계 단절과 같은 문제를 어느 정도 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 자갈접촉산화작용에 의한 수질개선과 공사비 절감 효과 등의 장점이 있다. 그러나 돌망태는 투수성이므로 불투수성인 콘크리트 보다 저류측면에서 불리하다. 콘크리트 취수보에서의 흐름은 보 정점의 형상, 보의 폭, 높이, 그리고 월류수심에 좌우되며, 베르누이 방정식과 연속방정식에 의해 방류량 산정식을 유도하고, 유량계수와 같은 실험상수를 결정하여 방류량을 계산한다. 돌망태 취수보의 흐름은 보의 높이, 보의 길이, 보의 상류수심 외에 채움재의 형상, 입경, 배치상태가 흐름에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 콘크리트 취수보에 적용되었던 기존의 방류량 산정식을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 돌망태 보의 통과류는 실험상수가 포함된 비선형 수두손실방정식으로 표현할 수 있다. 실험상수는 비표면적의 크기를 의미하는 채움재의 평균동수반경와 관계되며, 평균동수반경은 채움재 입자의 형상으로 부터 구할 수 있다. 따라서 실험을 통하여 채움재 입자의 형상과 크기에 따른 실험상수와 평균동수반경의 관계를 구하면 비선형 수두손실방정식으로부터 통과류의 방류량을 계산할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구는 돌망태 취수보가 대수층함양 원수 공급시설물로서 타당한가를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 콘크리트 취수보의 월류량 계산은 기존의 방류량 산정식을 이용하였으며, 돌망태 취수보는 실험상수와 평균동수반경의 기존관계식을 이용하여 통과류의 방류량을 계산하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 각각의 수심-방류량 관계로 부터 수심을 비교하였다. 동일한 유량조건에서 돌망태 취수보의 상류수심은 콘크리트 취수보보다 작게 계산되었다. 상류수심은 돌망태 채움재 입자의 크기가 작을수록 증가하여, 돌망태 취수보는 채움재의 입자크기가 작을수록 저류성능이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 돌망태 취수보는 채움재의 입경이 작을수록 콘크리트 취수보의 저류수준에 접근할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper evaluated the construction costs of 11 design cases to decrease the horizontal forces applied to the abutment. They include two abutment types, which are to improve backfill materials for a reversed T-shaped abutment and geosynthetic Reinforced Abutment for Railways (RAR). The first type of economic analysis was that the internal friction angles of backfill materials were increased from Φ=35° to Φ=40° and 50° for a reversed T-shaped abutment. In addition, the second type was the cases with the design of geosynthetic RAR. When friction angles of 40° or 50° were applied through the improvement of the backfill material, the decrease in construction cost of the abutment was not large (2.0~3.9%), even though the horizontal forces applied to the abutment had decreased to 18~48%. In the case of applying the RAR, however, a maximum 30% cost reduction was evaluated by the decrease in horizontal force to "0" theoretically. The cost reduction resulted from the decrease in wall thickness, base slab size, and number and material change of pile foundation for the abutment.

This study is to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of flowable backfill and offer a guide line of mixture proportion based on soil types for constructing underground power utilities. Flowable backfill is known as soil-cement slurry, void fill, and controlled low-strength material(CLSM). The benefits of CLSM are reduced equipment costs, faster construction, re-excavation in the future, and the ability to place materials in confined spaces, which are narrow parts or perimeters of underground power cables nearly impossible for compaction. The flowable slurry mixed with 17 soils and 6 accelerated mixtures in the laboratory were evaluated for flowability and unconfined compressive strength to meet the target values of this study.

During earthquake, force components acting on quay walls consist of inertia force, earth pressure and water pressure. The earth pressure is largely influenced by the backfill condition such as soil density and the installation of gravel backfill. Therefore, shaking table tests were performed by using four different model sections, which were designed by varying the soil density and the backfill materials. The magnitude and the phase of force components acting on quay wall were analyzed. Test results showed that the gravel backfill and the soil compaction were effective to reduce the excess pore pressure in backfill and the magnitude and phase of backfill thrust were much influenced by the excess pore pressure in backfill. When the input acceleration was 0.10g, the average ratios of the inertia force, the front dynamic water force and the thrust to the total force were $64\%,\;21\%\;and\;16\%$, respectively. As the excess pore pressure increased, the ratio of the thrust to the total force increased.

Various sizes of gravels are included in the most field soils that are utilized for civil constructions. Especially, the small amounts of gravel are often included in selected soils for backfill materials, earth dams, and subbase ground. In such cases, the small amounts of mixed gravel and its shape may influence the determination of dry density of soils, which results in an inaccurate degree of compaction for soils in the field. In this study, a dry density of sand with various gravel contents (0, 10, 17, 23, 29 and 33%) and three different sizes (2.0-2.36, 3.35-4.75, 5.6-10.0 mm) was experimentally investigated for compacted or loosely packed conditions. The loosely packed sand with gravels was simulated by pouring sand into compaction mould and its density was determined. When a 33% of gravel content was mixed with sand, its dry density increased up to 15-20% for compacted specimen and 20-23% for loosely packed specimen. When a gravel content and size were the same, a dry density of compacted specimen was $0.1-0.16g/cm^3$ higher than that of loosely packed specimen. Even though the same gravel content was used, a dry density of sand with big gravels was $0.04-0.08g/cm^3$ higher than that of sand with small gravels for compacted specimen and $0.03-0.05g/cm^3$ for loosely packed specimen.

호안 Mattress/Filter는 철망구조 내에 채움재를 채운 다공성 구조로서 다양한 크기의 채움재를 사용할 수 있고 이로 인하여 다양한 공극을 형성할 수 있다. 이러한 Mattress/Filter의 다공성 구조는 통수성을 증가시키기 때문에 호안부에서 흐름의 에너지 및 유속을 감소시키며, 이로 인해서 소류력이 감소되어 호안의 침식을 완화시킨다. 또한 Mattress/filter에 사용되는 채움재는 자갈, 폐콘크리트 및 슬래그를 사용하기 때문에 표면이 거칠고 조도계수가 증가하게 되며, 호안에서의 조도계수의 증가는 유속의 감소와 소류력 감소를 가져온다. 한편 Mattress/Filter가 시공되고 수개월이 경과되어 식생발달 및 안정화가 이루어진 후에는 식생과 Mattress/Filter가 일체화되며, Mattress/Filter와 식생에 의해 조도계수의 증가 및 유속감소의 효과가 더욱 커지면서 결과적으로 소류력 감소효과는 증가하게 된다. Mattress/Filter의 다공성 구조는 호안의 통수성 및 조도계수를 증가시켜 호안부의 유속 및 소류력을 감소시키기 때문에 침식 및 식생유실을 완화시키게 된다. 시공 초기 식생이 발달하기 전에 복토된 토양의 유실 우려가 있을 경우 Mattress/Filter의 표면에 토양유실방지매트를 설치하여 복토된 토양이 유수에 의해 침식되는 현상을 방지할 수 있다. Mattress/Filter 시공후 수개월이 경과한 뒤에는 식생이 발달하여 유속 및 소류력 저감효과가 더욱 증가하며, 이로 인해서 더욱 안정된 식생군락을 형성시킬 수 있었다.

As the flow velocity and Reynolds number increase in rockfill porous media, the flow deviates from Darcy conditions. In this study, the permeability tests of rock column specimen and laboratory gabion weir model were carried out to investigate a head loss behaviour of flow through rockfill deposition in small river artificial recharge. Through column test, the nonlinear relationships between flow velocity and hydraulic gradient and coefficients were determined and the correlation formula of hydraulic mean radius and coefficients was proposed. The flow velocities and discharges in voids estimated by proposed equations were well matched with the measured values of laboratory gabion weir model.

In the present study, a ground heat exchanger was installed for each heat source in the system at the site to evaluate ground heat conductivity, constructability, and economic feasibility; the factors considered in the study included ground heat, groundwater, fillers (such as bentonite and pea pebbles) and the shape of the heat exchange pipe (e.g., U and D-U). The aim was to determine the ground heat exchanger appropriate for the geothermal system in the 3rd-phase construction of Incheon International Airport. A comparative cost analysis of the initial costs based on the above information showed that although the initial costs of the regular vertical closed loop-II and modified vertical closed loop were lower than those of the regular vertical closed loop-I, they could not be expected to deliver high economic efficiency from the viewpoint of constructability (filler injection, heat exchange pipe insertion). The initial costs proved to be higher in the case of Geohil.
