An EST-based method which is applicable for estimating extreme sea levels from short sea-level records in a tide dominated coastal zone was developed. Via the method, annual maximum tidal level is chosen from the simulated 1-yr tidal data which are constituted by the independent daily high water levels, short term and long term surge heights and typhoon-induced surge heights. The high water levels are generated considering not only spring/neap tides and annual tide but also 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle. Typhoon-induced surges are selected from the training set which is constructed by observed or simulated surge heights. This yearly simulation is repeated many hundred years to yield the extreme tidal levels, and the whole process is carried out many hundred times repeatedly to get robust statistics of the levels. In addition, validation of the method is also shown by comparing the result with other researches with the tidal data of Mokpo Harbor.

Tide-surge characteristics of the West/South domestic coasts were analyzed with a tool of EST (empirical simulation technique). As a result, stations of Incheon, Gunsan, Mokpo and Busan are categorized as tide-dominant coasts, while Yeosu, Tongyoung and Busan are as surge-dominant coasts. In the tide-dominant coasts, extreme sea level of less than 50-yr frequency is formed without typhoon-surge, while only 10-yr extreme sea level is formed in the surge-dominant coasts. As the results of casual condition of extreme sea level formation considering the relative degree of surge on tide, the regional characteristics were detected also. Three methods for estimating the design tide level were compared. The AHHW method shows an unrealistic outcomes of the concern of over estimate design. Furthermore, the probability distribution function method has been concerned as causing missing data if a huge typhoon occurs in a neap tide or a low tide. To cope with these drawbacks, the applicability of the EST method is proved to be suitable especially in tide-dominant coasts.

The city of Mokpo suffers lowland inundation damages by sea water flooding even without harsh weather like a typhoon, due to the low level urban infrastructure facilities, oceanic environmental changes by constructions of seadike/seawall and sea level rise caused by global warming. This study performs constructing the simulation system which employs the MIKE21 software. And the system is applied to several typhoon- induced surges which had resulted in inundation at Mokpo. Virtual situation of flooding is simulated in case 59 cm of surge height, which had been occurred actually by RUSA(0215), coincides with Approx. H.H.W. Then the water level of 545 cm corresponds to the extreme high water level(544 cm) for 10 year return period after the construction of Geumho seawall. The results show rapid and broad inundation at Inner-Port, requiring additional preparations for flood protections.

A coupled tide-surge model, which has been evaluated the utility in the previous study, is applied for simulating the inundation phenomena. The coupled model system adopts the hydrodynamic module of MIKE21 software, and the study area is identical to the previous study. The only difference is additional detailed areas for simulating inundation. An artificial scenario of a virtual typhoon striking Mokpo coastal zone at spring high tide is simulated. Then the calculated water level corresponds to the extreme high water level(556 cm) for 100 year return period. The result also shows the inundation depth is 50~100 cm not only near the Mokpo Inner Port but also near the Mokpo North Port. Finally, the coastal inundation prediction map is drawn on the basis of inundation simulation results.

국내에서는 최근 지구온난화에 따른 전 지구적 이상홍수의 발생으로 댐 붕괴 우려가 증대되고 있고, 이에 따른 주민들의 불안감도 고조되고 있는 상황이다. 특히 최근 집중호우의 증가와 태풍의 영향으로 대규모 수공 구조물의 설계빈도를 초월하는 폭우를 동반하고 있다. 실례로 20세기 들어 전 세계적으로 약 200건 이상의 댐 붕괴 사고가 발생하여 댐 하류 지역에 막대한 인명 및 재산피해가 발생하였다. 국내의 경우 "연천댐", "장현, 동막저수지" 붕괴 등과 외국의 경우 이탈리아의 Vaiont 댐과 미국의 Teton 댐 등의 사례가 있다. 이처럼 댐은 설계홍수량 이하의 경우에는 비교적 안전하게 홍수를 예방할 수 있으나 이보다 큰 규모의 홍수가 발생할 경우 그 피해 또한 엄청나다. 따라서 댐 붕괴 등의 비상상황이 발생하였을 때 하류 지역의 생명과 재산 손실을 최소화하고 댐의 물리적, 지형적, 구조적 특성에 따른 비상상황을 예상하고 이에 효율적으로 대처하기 위해 비상대처계획(Emergency Action Plan, EAP)과 같은 대책을 수립하게 되었다. 이에 본 연구는 댐의 비상대처계획 수립시 중요한 사항 중 하나인 홍수류 해석을 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서 댐 붕괴 홍수류 해석은 주로 그 안전성과 정확성이 검증된 Fread(1984)의 1차원 모형인 DAMBRK 모형을 이용하여 댐 붕괴 홍수류 해석을 실시하고 있다. 이 DAMBRK 모형을 이용하여 실제 붕괴 사례인 1982년 미국 콜로라도에서 발생한 Lawn Lake 댐의 붕괴 홍수류 해석을 실시하였다. Lawn Lake 댐은 콜로라도 록키 마운틴 국립공원에 위치한 약 8m 높이의 필댐으로 댐 붕괴로 인하여 830,000 의 물이 유출되었으며, 3명이 사망하고 3,100만달러의 손해를 일으켰다. 다음과 같은 실제 붕괴 사례를 댐의 제원과 홍수량을 이용하여 DAMBRK 모의를 실시하였으며 모의한 결과와 실측치와의 비교를 해보았다. 본 연구에서 모의한 결과는 댐 최대 붕괴 유출량은 잘 나타내었지만, 지점별 최대 유량 및 홍수파 도달시간에 관련해서는 다소 차이를 보였다. 이는 조도계수의 변화에 따라 지점별 최대 유량과 홍수파 도달시간, 그리고 홍수위가 달라지는 것임을 확인하였고 실제로 Lawn Lake 댐이 붕괴되어 흘러들어가는 Roaring 강의 댐 붕괴 잔해나 하상 변화를 모르기 때문에 조도계수의 실측치는 모의값 보다 훨씬 클 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구를 통해 비상대처계획 수립시 홍수류 해석을 할 때 조도계수의 변화에 따라 모의 결과 및 범람범위가 달라질 수 있으니 조도계수의 채택에 있어 신중하고 정확한 판단이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Korea has recently selected twenty-two ports for reinforcement breakwater installation of protection facilities, due to rise sea level caused by global warming and increase in the number of typhoon and tsunami. In addition, due to consistent enlargement of ship size, dredging for depth of water for large vessel's berthing and enlargement of berth is under construction. However, no definite construction plan for the reinforcement and lengthening of crown height, which has close relationship with the safe mooring of ships. In this study, domestic and foreign design criteria of crown height were analyzed, and the crown height evaluation index and evaluation method were developed by dividing it into environment and ship elements. In particular, in the case of ship evaluation index, each step was set up in 4 steps according to domestic and foreign regulations, weighted by each step, and the safety level of crown height was evaluated. As a result of the mooring safety simulation of the 100,000 ton cruise ship, the appropriate minimum crown height standard was derived to be 3 m above A.H.H.W. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data to propose the crown height standard reflecting ship characteristics.

A chenier, about 860 m long, 30 to 60 m wide and 0.6∼1.6 m high, occurs on the upper muddy tidal flat in the Gomso bay, western coast of Korea, It consists of medium to fine sands and shells with small amounts of subangular gravels. Vertical sections across the chenier show gently landward dipping stratifications which include small-scale cross-bedded sets. the most probable source of the chenier is considered to be the intertidal sandy sediments. Vibracores taken along a line transversing the tidal flat reveal that the intertidal sand deposits are more than 5 m thick near the low-water line and become thinner toward the chenier. The most sand deposits are undertrain by tidal muds which occur behind the chenier as salt marsh deposits. C-14 age dating suggests that the sand deposits and the chenier are younger than about 1,800 years B.P. The chenier has originated from the intertidal sand shoals at the lower to mid sand flat, and has continuously moved landward. A series of aerial photographs (1967∼1989) reveal that intertidal sand shoals (predecessor of the western part of chenier) on the mid flat have continuously moved landward during the past two decades and ultimately attached to the eastern part of the chenier already anchored at the present position in the late 1960s. Repeated measurements (four times between 1991 and 1992) of morphological changes of the chenier indicate that the eastern two thirds of the chenier, mostly above the mean high water, has rarely moved whereas the western remainder below the mean high water, has moved continuously at a rate of 0.5 m/mo during the last two years (1991∼1992). This displacement rate has been considerably accelerated up to 1.0 m/mo in winter, and during a few days of typhoon in the summer of 1992 the displacement amounted to about 8∼11 m/mo for the entire chenier. these facts suggest that macro-tidal currents, coupled with winter-storm waves and infrequent strong typhoons, should play a major role for the formation and migration of chenier after 1,800 B.P., when the sea level already rose to the present position and thereafter remained constant.
