Physical, mechanical, hydraulic, and geophysical tests were applied to validate methods of inspecting the effectiveness of grouting on an agricultural reservoir dam. Data obtained from series of in situ and laboratory tests considered four stages: before grouting; during grouting; immediately after grouting; and after aging the grouting for 28 days. The results of SPT and triaxial tests, including the unit weight, compressive strength, friction angle, cohesion, and N-value, indicated the extent of ground improvement with respect to grout injection. However, they sometimes contained errors caused by ground heterogeneity. Hydraulic conductivity obtained from in situ variable head permeability testing is most suitable for identifying the effectiveness of grouting because the impermeability of the ground increased immediately after grouting. Electric resistivity surveying is useful for finding a saturated zone and a seepage pathway, and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is suitable for analyzing the effectiveness of grouting, as elastic velocity increases distinctly after grouting injection. MASW also allows calculation from the P- and S- wave velocities of dynamic properties (e.g., dynamic elastic modulus and dynamic Poisson's ratio), which can be used in the seismic design of dam structures.

Currently, a grouting method that minimizes damage to the reservoir embankment by injecting solidification agent at low pressure is commonly used to ensure waterproofing and safety of the embankment, but the use of solidification agents can cause issues, such as a decrease in durability and a lack of clear method for determining the mixing ratio. In this study, when the base ground and solidification agent were stirred and mixed at various weight mixing ratios, the permeability coefficient and strength of the mixture were confirmed through laboratory tests, and the optimal mixing ratio was suggested through analysis of the test results. The specimen for the laboratory test was produced considering the mixing ratio of the solidification agent. The specimen for the permeability coefficient test was tested by producing one each of cohesionless and cohesive soil for a mixing amount of 1.5 kN/m³ of solidification agent, and the permeability test results confirmed that the water barrier performance was secured below the permeability coefficient value required by various design criteria. A total of 24 specimens for the strength test were produced, 3 for each of 5 mixing amounts for cohesive soil and 3 mixing amounts for cohesionless soil. The strength test results showed that the uniaxial compressive strength tends to increase linearly with increasing curing time for both cohesionless soil and cohesive soil when the mixing amount is less than 2.0 kN/m³. Therefore, the optimal mixing ratio applied to the site is determined to be mixing amount of 1.5 kN/m³ and 2.0 kN/m³. Finally, numerical analysis reflecting test results was conducted on design case for improvement projects for aging reservoirs embankment to verify the water barrier performance and safety improvement effects.

Due to heavy rainfall and typhoons caused by climate change, it has become common to witness heavy rain that exceeds the design frequency of agricultural reservoirs. This has brought greater attention to the safety of irrigation facilities including agricultural reservoirs. Out of approximately 17,740 reservoirs available in Korea, 83.87% were built before 1970. To ensure the safety of these old reservoirs, their embankments are being repaired and reinforced using various techniques. Among these techniques, using the cement-bentonite cutoff wall makes it possible to construct diaphragm walls with slurry composed of cement and bentonite, while excavation. The advantages of this technique include that it is simple and fast, and ensures the uniformity of cutoff walls by enabling the immediate application of the replacement method to excavation areas; thus excellent performance is guaranteed. However, despite these advantages, the technique is not commonly used in Korea. Thus, this study investigated the changes in strength and permeability by varying the mix ratio of cement and bentonite. As a major experimental results, when the cement of 200 kg/m³ and the bentonite of 60 to 80 kg/m³ is most suitable for the repair and reinforcement of the reservoir embankments.

This study Development of Evaluation Items and Indicators for Hydrological Safety on Agricultural Reservoir improvement and grasped the relative importance through stratification of the evaluation points through AHP technique exercised by group of experts. Below conclusion was acquired based on the study done. Firstly, the hierarchy of the evaluation items was divided into two layers: there were six upper evaluation items and eleven lower evaluation items. Secondly, using the analytic hierarchy process, the importance values of the six upper evaluation items were determined via the paired comparison questionnaire survey and consistency check, which were in the order of maintenance condition (condition evaluation grade), freeboard of levee body (non-overtopping), discharge capacity of spillway, potential flood damage, flood calculation factor and freeboard of downstream bank. The maintenance condition(condition evaluation grade) was significantly influenced the results of the hydrological safety on agricultural reservoir evaluation results. Finally, the study indicated that in the short term, improving the safety check condition evaluation grade will be useful to improve the hydrological safety of the agricultural reservoir because it can be performed immediately.

The subject of this paper is research into the application of resistivity/SP monitoring to detecting the water leakage of water utilization facilities. For this purpose, we installed a comprehensive monitoring system consisting of resistivity/SP measurement, inclinometer, piezometer, and water gauge at an embankment, Using this monitoring system, we monitored the various kinds of measurement data and compared the resistivity structures and SP variations that of hydrological and engineering data in order to investigate the water leakage and stability of the embankment. The variations of resistivity and SP at the embankment were provided from the monitoring data and we could accurately locate the portions of which resistivities and SP have sharply changed, Furthermore, we could estimate the stability of the embankment more effectively and quantitatively by jointly interpreting the monitoring data of resistivity and SP, water level, pore water pressure, and subsurface displacement. The monitoring experiments in this study led us to the conclusion that for the efficient maintenance of the water utilization facilities, monitoring the resistivity and SP data would be much more preferable to performing the just one-time measurements.

최근 기후온난화로 인한 이상기후와 지진의 발생가능성으로 인해 직렬 혹은 병렬로 위치한 2개 이상의 댐(저수지)들의 연속 붕괴 가능성도 점점 커지고 있어 연속 댐 붕괴에 대한 비상대처계획도 수립에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있다. 국내에서는 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 극한홍수해석이나 비상대처계획 수립시 국내에서는 DAMBRK, FLDWAV, HEC-RAS와 같은 1차원 수리동역학 모형이 주로 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 1차원 모형은 흐름을 하나의 방향으로만 한정하여 해석하고, 각각의 적용 횡단면에서 동일 수위를 가지다는 가정으로 홍수범람해석을 수행하므로 정확성뿐만 아니라 실제 적용성에서도 한계를 가질 수밖에 없다. 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 홍수범람해석에서 2차원 이상의 고차원 모형은 앞서 언급한 1차원 모형에 적용된 비현실적인 가정을 포함하지 않으므로 더욱 정교하고 신뢰성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 홍수범람해석을 위한 상용 프로그램들은 단일 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 적용에는 큰 어려움이 없으나, 지형단면을 초기에 한번만 고려하는 문제로 인하여 연속 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 고려에는 한계를 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있는 2차원 수리동역학 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 각 댐(저수지)의 붕괴 전과 후의 지형 단면을 여러 번 반영할 수 있는 모형을 개발함으로써 시간차를 두고 붕괴되는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발모형은 2002년 태풍 루사로 인해 실제로 붕괴된 저수지에 적용되었으며, 이 저수지들은 붕괴시 시간차이를 두고 붕괴가 이루어져 개발모형의 적용 유역으로 선택하였다. 저수지의 연속붕괴 모델링을 위해 지형자료로는 저수지 단면, 댐 제체 및 여수로 붕괴 단면, 하천 단면 그리고 홍수터 지형 반영을 위한 수치지도, 경계조건으로는 저수지로의 유입유량과 하류단 조위조건이 고려되었다. 그리고 태풍 루사 당시의 기록적인 강우를 반영하기 위해 연구유역 인근에 관측된 강우를 모형에서 하천 및 홍수터에서 고려할 수 있도록 하였다.

Agricultural small dam reservoirs in Korea are vulnerable to flooding because of insufficient flood control capacity and deterioration such that reservoir water level is likely to rise rapidly and a large amount of water release quickly to downstream without flood warning. In this study, we performed hydrologic analysis to estimate design flood(200 years return period ${\times}1.2$) and also evaluated the effect of siphon spillway as a structural countermeasure for flood control and mitigation by applying reservoir routing to the Jipyeong reservoir, located in Sangju, Korea. The results show that the design flood was calculated at $284.3m^3/s$, and water level and water release decreased by 40cm and $91m^3/s$, respectively.

모래저장형댐(sand dam)은 계곡이나 하천을 가로질러 보를 설치하고 확보된 공간을 모래와 같은 공극이 큰 투수성 재료로 채운 후 그 채움재 안에 물을 저장하는 구조물로서 증발량이 큰 건조지역에서 수자원 확보 수단으로 널리 이용되고 있다(Hanson and Nilsson, 1986). 국내에서는 차수 및 저류를 위한 제체를 지하 땅속에 설치한 지하수댐을 운영하거나 사방댐을 소규모 수자원공급시설로 개조하여 활용한 일부 사례가 있으나, 전형적인 모래저장형댐의 설계, 시공, 운영 사례가 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 A지역을 대상으로 모래저장형댐의 저류용량을 설계하고 수자원 확보효과를 분석하기 위해서 유역수문모형 SWAT으로 모의한 장기유출량과 방류구, 위어 등을 고려한 저수지 유출추적을 수행하였다. 모래저장형댐의 형태, 규모, 취수량, 지형조건, 수문학적 조건 등에 따른 댐내 수위, 저류량, 방류량 등의 변화를 분석하여 설치 부지에 대한 적정 설계 인자를 도출하였다. 또한 평시 및 가뭄시 물공급 효과와 유황개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석, 제시하였다.
