This study investigates the adjustment processes of the rivers after weir removal through laboratory experiments. Delta upstream eroded rapidly by flow at the initial stage of the experiments and the knickpoint migrates upward. Moreover, the knickpoint moves fast upward on the condition of alternate bars. The head cutting in the bed is developed fast at the initial stage. However, the erosion speed in the bed decreases with time. The well developed alternate bars migrates with keeping their shape downstream, and the bars affect the channel downstream to adjust new environments after weir removal. Maximum scouring depth downstream and the migration speed decrease over time after removing the weir. The scouring depth in the channel without alternate bars migrates with speed. However, the depth in the channel with alternate bars migrates slow downstream. The channel with alternate bars, in turn, is adjusted well to the new equilibrium states. The maximum scouring depth migrates downstream with time, and the scouring depth and its migration speed decreases with time. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth decreases with the migration speed of dimensionless maximum scouring depth because the deeply scoured places capture the sediments from upstream and the migration speed is slow as the places are filled with them. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth is shallow as the dimensionless backfilling speed is high. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth decreases rapidly less than 5 of dimensionless backfilling speed. However, the depth decreases slow more than 5 of it.

중소하천에 기능을 상실한 하천 횡단 수리구조물이 많이 설치되어 있으며, 수리구조물 상류와 하류에 흐름 및 유사의 이송에 대한 연속성을 차단하고, 하천 교란의 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 사회적으로 수리구조물의 기능을 개선하거나 철거하여 하천복원의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내실험을 통해 하천횡단 수리구조물에 의하여 형성된 상류의 지형이 하류에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 흐름이 하천횡단 수리구조물을 월류하면서 직하류에 세굴이 발생하고, 상류에서 델타를 형성하면서 퇴적되었다. 상류에서는 사주가 형성되었으며, 하류의 지형변화에 영향을 주었다. 하천횡단 수리구조물의 상류에 형성된 델타는 하류로 일정하게 이동하고 있으며, 델타가 구조물에 도달하기 바로 직전에서 수리구조물하류의 세굴이 가장 깊게 나타났다. 수리구조물 철거 후, 상류에 퇴적된 토사는 흐름에 의하여 급격하게 하류로 유실되었다. 천급점은 상류로 이동하며, 두부침식을 일으켰다. 일정한 시간이 지난 후에 상류에서 유입되는 유사에 의하여 침식은 감소되었다. 시간이 지나면서 하류에서 교호사주의 형상을 유지하며, 평형상태를 유지하였다.

The headcut erosion at the confluence section of a mainstream and tributary can migrate up the tributary streams, and rapid degradation can threaten the stability of hydraulic structures installed in the channel. Therefore, quantitative analysis for the development and mechanism of headcut erosion is needed to prevent damage due to the headcut. In this study, hydraulic experiments for headcut erosion in the channel with noncohesive materials were performed and the knickpoint movement and final bed slope change were analyzed based on the different hydraulic conditions. As a result, the knickpoint movement was 1.5 times faster when the difference in velocity between the upstream and downstream sections was 2.5 times greater and the central part of the cross-section was eroded and collapsed earlier than the left and right sides. The movement length of headcut erosion was longer and the final bed slope was milder as the velocity difference between the upstream and downstream sections was increased. This study showed that a correlation between the knickpoint movement and bed slope change by headcut erosion and the water level difference of upstream and downstream sections was not constant compared to the velocity difference.

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.
