In this experiment, the cutter head was designed as the down-scaled shape from the cutter head of the Asan-3 of Hyundai Construction Company. The dredging simulation instrument was installed in the experiment water tank which has the dimension of $4.2m(L){\times}2.2m(W){\times}1.5m(H)$. The speed of all components were controlled manually through the hydraulic tool and motors to find the effective desilting condition. As the results, the experiment was conducted to find the optimate dredging cutter head operation rate. To compare the factors which effect on the dredging effectiveness, the dimensionless dredging volume ratio was introduced and it can be found the best effectiveness at 2.0 m/s suction speed, 8 cm dredging depth and 4~4.5 dimensionless dredging volume ratio. Therefore, in order to take the best effectiveness these 3 components factors should be adequately considered.

The pattern of headward erosion at tributary and the separation zone formation in a loosed bed at confluence according to the confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio have been analyzed. The separation zone is defined the inside of zero velocity boundary at downstream of confluence. The limit of separation zone occurrence is presented with dredging depth ratio. The propagation length of knickpoint increases as the confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio increase in general and its regression equation has been suggested. The length and width ratios of separation zone in a loosed bed increase as discharge ratio and confluence angle increase as well as in a fixed bed. The length ratio decreases and the width ratio increases as dredging depth ratio increases results in great increase of shape factor and backwater rise by the conveyance reduction at confluence. The regression equation of shape factor with confluence angle, discharge ratio, and dredging depth ratio has been suggested.

In this study, the hydraulic experiments were conducted for the dredging efficiency of the cutter head type, which includes the open type and the close type cutter head. The dredging experimental instrument was installed in the large water tank which has the dimension of $4.9m(L){\times}2.2m(W){\times}1.5m(H)$. The dredging experiments were performed for the various conditions of dredging depth, rotating speed, and suction speed of the cutter head. As the results, the dredging efficiency of the close-type cutter head is much higher than that of the open-type cutter head. The dredging efficiency of the same cutter head type was mainly influenced by the rotating speed of cutter head. Also the adequate suction speed of the cutter head is needed for more effective dredging.

본 연구에서는 1차원 수치모형을 개발하여 하천준설 인한 교란하천의 적응과정을 파악하였다. 본 1차원 수치모형의 특성은 하천의 혼합사와 부유사의 거동을 모의할 수 있다. 하천준설 규모의 변화에 따른 하상변동과 하천의 적응과정을 파악하기 위하여, 하천준설의 채취장 길이는 일정하고, 채취 깊이가 변하는 경우와 채취 깊이가 일정하고 채취장의 길이가 변하는 경우에 대하여 검토하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 채취장을 중심으로 상류에는 하상이 저하되어 상류로 전파되는 것을 보여주고 있다. 채굴장 직하류에서는 하상이 저하되고 있고, 하류에는 다시 하상이 상승하는 특성을 보여주고 있다. 채취장에서 하상의 상승은 초기에는 급격하게 진행되고 있으나, 시간이 지나면서 그 증가율은 감소하고 있다. 채치장 상류에서는 하상저하가 초기에 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 시간이 지나면서 느리게 진행되고 있고, 그 영향은 상류로 먼 거리까지 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주고 있다. 하류에서 하상저하는 상류로 그 영향이 적다. 채취장을 중심으로 수심의 변화는 시간의 증가에 따라 하류에는 수심이 증가하고 있으며, 상류에서는 수심이 감소하고 있다. 시간에 따라 수심의 변화율이 감소되고 있는 것은 교란된 하천이 적응해 가면서 평형상태에 도달해 가는 과정에서 하상변화가 감소되기 때문으로 판단된다. 채취장의 채취 깊이가 깊을수록 세굴심의 하류도 이동속도는 작아지며, 이것은 채취장은 채취규모가 커지면 하천의 교란이 있은 후에 적응하는 기간이 길어지는 것을 의미한다. 무차원 하상고는 채취장의 채굴심도가 작을수록 커지며, 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 보여주고 있다. 채취장의 채취장 길이가 길수록 하류로 이동하는 속도는 작아지며, 이것은 채취장의 채취규모가 커지면 하천의 교란이 있은 후에 적응하는 기간이 길어지는 것을 보여주었다. 무차원 하상고는 채취장의 채굴장의 길이가 짧을수록 커지며, 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것을 보여주고 있다.

In the present study, experiments have been performed to investigate the possibility of removing Cochlodinium polykrikoides using the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery and then to derive the optimal conditions; the amount and particle size of dredged sediment besprinkled into water, the thermal treatment, the types and amounts of additives, and the depth profile of Cochlodinium polykrikoides. Results showed that the optimal amount of dredged sediment besprinkled into water was 6~10 g/L, and the removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides after the reaction time for 60 min was 73~93%. Note that, in the real sea water, it is necessary to besprinkle 6~10 $kg/m^3$ of dry dredged sediment on a unit area (1 $m^2$). With decreasing particle size, Cochlodinium polykrikoides could be more efficiently removed. The removal efficiency was 93% with the dredged sediment smaller than 100 ${\mu}m$, whereas it was 51% with that of 100 ${\mu}m$ ${\mu}m$. Since most of dredged sediment (over 90%) was smaller than 100 ${\mu}m$, high efficiency could be obtained by besprinkling only the dredged sediment without pre-treatment. CaO was found to be an effective additive in promoting the removal efficiency (up to 99%). The optimal amount of additive was 5~10%, however, it was necessary to use as small amount of an additive as possible in order to avoid the sharp increase in pH. The removal efficiency increased with increasing depth profile of Cochlodinium polykrikoides. The removal efficiency was 83% at 5 cm depth, whereas it was 93% at 50 cm depth. In the sea water, red tide occurred within 3 m depth, and furthermore most Cochlodinium polykrikoides existed within 1 m depth. It was, therefore, expected that higher removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides could be obtained when the dredged sediment was besprinkled into the sea water. The removal efficiency of Cochlodinium polykrikoides was up to 93% when the dredged sediment (<100 ${\mu}m$) was besprinkled into water at the ratio of 10 g/L. This result was comparable to that obtained with loess (90~97%). All the results in the present study indicated that the dredged sediment from a coastal fishery could be successfully used as a substitute of loess for removing the red tide alga.

Experimental study of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation has been primary research area in dredged soil. However, good quality of the dredged soil and minimum water pollution caused by the pumping of reclaimed soil require intensive study of the flow characteristics of dredged material due to dumping. In this study, continuity and the equilibrium equations for mass flow assuming single phase was derived to simulate mass flow in dredged containment area. To optimize computation and modeling time for three dimensional geometry and boundary conditions, depth integration is applied to governing equations to consider three dimensional topography of the site. Petrov-Galerkin formulation is applied in spatial discretization of governing equations. Generalized trapezoidal rule is used for time integration, and Newton iteration process approximated the solution. DG and CDG technique were used for weighting matrix in discontinuous test function in dredged flow analysis, and numerical stability was evaluated by performed a square slump simulation. A comparative analysis for numerical methods showed that DG method applied to SU / PG formulation gives minimal pseudo oscillation and reliable numerical results.

In this study, grain size distribution of dredged soil and suspended solid distribution of supernatant in containment area were measured and compared with design prediction for suitability evaluation on prediction of suspended solid concentration of supernatant in conventional design of containment area. In addition to that, relationship were also analyzed between current velocity and suspended solid concentration of supernatant. Evaluation results show a relatively good agreement between field measurement and design prediction. On contrast, field measurement and design prediction show a quite different value each other in the early stage of dredging or at a point that current velocity increases. It is believed that this is due to that conventional design method of containment area does not account for ponding depth and current velocity which change sensitively with dredging period. Since current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration measured simultaneously show a similar trend, it is observed that there exists a close relationship between current velocity and distribution of suspended solid concentration. Therefore, a new design method for containment area, which can consider sedimentation of suspended solid that changes with interface height of dredged soil, ponding depth, current speed of supernatant, is necessary in order to predict the situation change of containment area more precisely.

This study examined pollution level of sediment in Sookchun lake, and studied dredging validity by examining phosphorous release characteristics on surface polluted soil. Total phosphorous, the principal cause of algal blooms, exceeded dredging assessment standards regarding Daechung lake (1.5 mg/g) at all points. Also at all points, total nitrogen exceeded the dredging assessment standard regarding Paldang Lake (1.1 mg/g), but fell short of the standard regarding Daechung lake (3.0 mg/g). Dredging zone was suggested in this study is Chuso water body (WS-6~WS-12) in Sookchun lake. In relation to sediment pollution levels measured at different depths, LOI tended to decrease as it became deeper. The concentrations of T-N varied depending upon the depth as well as points, but no regular pattern was observed. The depth and site did not significantly influence T-P. From the results of phosphorous release tests, it was shown that total phosphorous release flux was calculated to be $7.2{\sim}15.4mg/m^2/d$ for anaerobic condition, $0.5{\sim}2.0mg/m^2/d$ for aerobic condition and $2.0{\sim}4.1mg/m^2/d$ for facultative condition. Release flux and T-P concentration of surface sediments had positive correlation ($R^2$ 0.7871). And The corelation between release flux and DO condition in reactor had strong negative correlation ($R^2$ 0.8824).

The diverse patterns of separation zone according to the marked bed discordance by dredging at confluence in addition to the confluence angle of tributary and discharge ratio between tributary and main channels have been analyzed by CCHE2D model simulation. The separation zone is defined by inside of zero velocity boundary at down-stream of confluence. The separation zone dose not formed at the $30^{\circ}$ of confluence angle of tributary. The size of separation zone increases as the discharge ratio and confluence angle increase in general. The separation zone decreases as the dredging depth increases which shows the relative momentum reduction compared by the flow volume increasing by dredging at confluence. The contraction factor with the variation of confluence angle and discharge ratio has been investigated and confirmed the corresponding conveyance decreasing results in backwater effect. The regression equation of shape factor with confluence angle and discharge and dredging depth ratios has been suggested.

준설은 흙 또는 모래, 자갈을 파내는 작업을 말하는 것으로, 준설의 목적은 수로, 하천, 항만공사에서 수심의 증가 및 수심을 유지하기 위함이다(산업안전대사전, 2004). 이러한 준설은 하천의 흐름 특성 및 제반 여건 변화를 수반하기도 한다. 준설 직후 낮아진 하상으로 인하여 수위가 감소되는 경우가 있으며, 반면에 수위 저하를 동반하지 않는 경우(저수지와 연결된 준설), 준설 부근에 퇴적이 발생하며 이는 하천의 수위 상승으로 연결될 수 있다. 이러한 수위 상승은 홍수 시 제방의 월류 가능성을 높이는 등 하천의 치수 안전성에 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 준설로 인한 하천의 수위 상승에 초점을 맞추었다. 기존 연구에서는 대부분 이러한 현상분석을 위해 수치해석을 이용하였으며, HEC-6, CCHE2D, GSTARS 등의 1, 2차원 수치해석 프로그램을 이용하였다. 그러나 1, 2 차원 수치모형은 수심에 따른 흐름특성을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 한계점을 가진다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석 모형인 SCHISM을 이용하였다. SCHISM은 하구역의 흐름특성을 분석하기 위해 개발된 프로그램으로, 본 연구와 같이 단면의 급 확대부의 수치해석에 적합한 프로그램이라고 판단된다. 기존연구를 바탕으로 하상변동에 영향을 주는 인자를 산정하여 무차원화 하였으며, 하상 변동량 및 수위상승 영향의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 무차원인자는 준설깊이/상류수심(H/hu), 하류하폭/상류하폭($W_d/W_u$), 하류수심/상류수심($h_d/h_u$), 유량(Q)으로 결정하였다. 수치해석에 이용된 지형은 1: 2 경사의 제방을 가진 직선수로이며, 준설 구간을 기준으로 상 하류 각각 1,000 m의 길이를 확보하였다. SCHISM 수치모의를 통하여 민감도 분석을 수행한 결과 모든 수치해석 case에서 퇴적으로 인한 상류수위의 증가를 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 하류수심/상류수심은 준설부 퇴적 및 상류 수위 상승에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 인자로 나타났다. 본 연구는 하천 준설 계획 시 참고자료로 활용이 가능할 것이며, 준설로 인한 하천수리특성 변화의 선행연구로써 의미가 있다고 판단된다.
