The purpose of this study is to estimate the sediment volume concentration of the liquified-solid mixture which is included fine sediment fractions, according to the variance of the channel slope and the water supply. The numerical model was performed by using the Finite Differential Element Method (FDM) based on the equation for the mass conservation, momentum conservation and the equation of coarse sediment an fine sediment. In comparison of varying the channel slope, the deeper the channel slope, the inflection point of the sediment concentration was occurred rapidly. In comparison of variance of the water supply, as the water supply increases fluctuation with high sediment concentration. In this situation, debris flow changes to the turbulent flow and the sediment becomes to be floated. In comparison varying the length paved saturated sediment, the longer the length, the high concentration of sediment occurred, for the safety of the slope it is needed to check the possibility of the erosion in the slope by debris flow. The results of this study will provide useful information in predicting of the disaster by the liquified-solid mixture and in prevention of the debris flow with various the slope in the mountain side.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sedimentation area and runout distance in the downstream when debris flow occurred on a mountain slope through an experimental performance. Super typhoons and torrential rains caused by climate change cause large-scale debris flow disasters in the downstream areas of mountainous areas, mainly where sediments are deposited and flowed downstream. To analyze the characteristics of the sediment deposited downstream, the disposition area and runout distance were investigated through experiments in the case of a straight channel and channel with berm, respectively. As experimental conditions, changes in sediment volume concentration and channel slope, and channel with or without berm, reduction rates in sedimentation area and runout distance were investigated. In the straight channel, the steeper the channel slope and the lower the sedimentation concentration, the sedimentation area and runout distnace were increased. In a channel with berm, the runout distance and sediment area increased as the slope became steeper and the sediment area decreased.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the behavior and the mechanism of debris flow at the end of mountain side when a berm was set on the inclined plane. The numerical model was performed by using the Finite Difference Method(FDM) based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation. In order to measure the behavior of the debris flow, the debris flow of a straight channel slope and the debris flow of channel slope with 3 types of berms were compared. First, the flow discharge and the sediment volume concentration at the downstream of the channel slope, depending on the various berm width and the different inflow discharges at the upstream of the channel were analyzed. The longer the berm width, the flow discharge at the downstream of the channel was decreased and the high flow fluctuation was reduced by a berm. And it means that a berm can effect for the delay of the debris flow. Through Root Mean Square ratio(RMS) comparison, the flow discharge of the channel slope with a berm was lower than that of a straight channel slope. The longer the berm width, for the sediment volume concentration, an inflection point did not show but mild curve. Because the low sediment concentration with water mixture by a berm continuously flow at the downstream end, it will be effect for reducing the disaster caused by debris flow. The results of this study will provide useful information in predicting and preventing disaster caused by the debris flow.

최근 들어 국지성호우와 장마, 태풍에 의한 자연재해는 모든 분야에서 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 자연재해로 발생한 토사는 하천, 농업용 저수지, 댐 및 하구를 메워 흐름을 방해하고 저서생태계에 미치는 영향은 매우 크다. 이러한 토사는 농업용 저수지와 홍수 조절용 구조물의 사용 수명을 단축시키고, 하상을 높여 흐름을 방해하거나 변화시켜 하천 범람을 발생하기도 한다. 한편 하천범람과 제방 붕괴 등은 농지 침수는 물론 작물의 성장을 방해하는 등 많은 경제적 손실을 가져오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토사의 농도와 분광반사특성의 상호관계를 알아보기 위하여 분광복사계(Li-1800)를 이용하여 미리 제작한 수조 안의 토사(실트질, 모래질) 농도를 변화시켜 토사농도에 따른 분광반사 특성을 파악하고, 그 특징에 대해 검토, 고찰하였다. 연구결과 실트질의 체적반사율이 모래에 비해 약 40% 높게 나타났으며, 실트와 모래 모두 $554{\sim}588nm$영역에서 최대반사율을 나타내었다. 상관분석 결과 각 토사의 상관계수는 실트질이 $0.63{\sim}0.99$, 모래가 $0.73{\sim}0.96$의 값을 나타냈으며, 두 토양 모두 $550{\sim}900nm$영역에서 r>0.90의 높은 상관성을 보였다. 또한, 토사농도에 따른 반사특성은 실트질의 경우 토사 농도가 $0{\sim}60%$까지 $470{\sim}740nm$영역에서 큰 상승폭을 보인 반면, 모래의 경우 토사농도가 25%까지 크게 증가하였으나 30%이상의 농도에서는 변화 폭이 매우 적어지는 특징을 보였다. 토사농도의 변화에 따른 탁수의 분광 반사특성은 토사의 종류에 따라 크게 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Heavy rainfall is in causing debris flow by recent climate change and causes much damage in the downstream. The debris flow from the mountainous area runs to the downstream, repeating sedimentation and erosion, and appears as a fluidized soil-water mixture. Continuity equation and momentum equation were applied to analyze the debris flow with strong mobility, and the sedimentation and erosion velocity with fine particle fractions were also applied. This study is to analyze the behavior of debris flow at the downstream end for the variation of the amount of sediments can occur in the upstream of the mountain. Analysis of sediment volume concentration at the downstream end of the channel due to the variance of the length of pavement of the granulated soils resulted in the higher the supply flow discharge and the longer the length of pavement, the greater the difference in the level of sediment concentration and the earlier the point of occurrence of the inflection point. The results of this study will provide good information for determining the erosion-sedimentation velocity rate which can detect erosion and sedimentation on steep slopes.

This study was conducted to understand the deposition characteristics of debris flow and to analyze the reduction effect of debris flow damage by installing a berm. Flume experiments were performed in consideration of various channel slope and volumetric sediment concontration. In order to analyze the reduction effect of debris flow damage by installing a berm, the cases of not installing a berm and the cases of installing a berm were compared. In this study, the runout distance, total travel distance, and mobility ratio were analyzed among the deposition characteristics of debris flow. First, the deposition characteristics of debris flow according to the change of the channel slope were analyzed, and the deposition characteristics of debris flow due to the change of volumetric sediment concentration were analyzed. In addition, the change rate of debris flow deposition characteristics when a berm was installed was calculated based on the case when a berm was not installed. As a result of the experiments, it was confirmed that the channel slope and volumetric sediment concentration had a significant effect on the deposition characteristics of debris flow. In addition, when a berm is installed on the slope, the runout distance and mobility ratio of debris flow are greatly decreased, and the total travel distance is increased. This means that installing a berm delays the movement of debris flow and reduces the potential mobility of debris flow. The results of this study will provide useful information for understanding the deposition characteristics of debris flow. Furthermore, it is expected to help in the design of a berm.

본 연구에서는 유목과 연행침식을 고려한 토석류 수치모형을 개발하여 2011년 발생한 우면산 산사태의 관측데이터를 기반으로 수치모의를 수행하였다. 토석류 모형개발을 위해 천수방정식 기반의 침수모형인 Nays2DFlood 모형에 혼합유사농도의 이송확산, 토석류 지면전단응력, 연행침식모듈을 추가하였으며 유목생성과 유목거동 모의를 위해 입자법 기반의 유목동력학 모형을 결합하였다. 개발된 모형을 검증하기 위해, 민감도분석을 수행하였으며, 모의결과, 우면산 산사태 당시 래미안 APT에 피해를 끼친 충격수심과 충격유속, 최종 토석류 체적을 양호하게 재현한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 토석류를 구성하는 토사입경이 작을수록 토사점성에 의한 전단응력의 증가로 토석류 유속과 수심이 감소했지만 연행침식량이 증가하였으며, 토사입경이 증가하면 유속과 수심이 증가하고 연행침식량은 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서 개발된 토석류 거동모형은 토사입경, 침식 및 퇴적계수 등의 다양한 토석류 매개변수가 요구되기 때문에, 이러한 물성치 데이터가 현장 또는 실내실험에서 충분히 확보되어야 모형의 정확도가 향상될 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 향후 연구에서는 본 연구에서 고찰된 모형의 적용성과 한계점을 고려하여 토석류 거동을 예측모의 한다면 보다 세부적으로 토석류와 유목거동을 예측분석해 볼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구의 결과는 기후변화로 인한 강우발생의 불확실성과 이로 야기되는 토석류 발생을 사전에 예측하여 토석류 저감대응방안을 구축하는 일환으로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the behavior and the mechanism of debris flow on the slope, which has specially various gradient plane. The numerical simulation was performed by using the Finite Differential Element method (FDM) based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation. The mechanism of flow type for debris flow is divided into three flow types which are stony debris flow, immature debris flow, and turbulent water flow, respectively. First, flow discharge, water flow depth, sediment volume concentration was investigated by variable input of flow discharge at the straight slope angle and two step inclined plane. As the input of flow discharge was decrease, flow discharge and water flow depth was increased, after the first coming debris flow only reached at the downstream. As the input of flow discharge was increased, the curve of flow discharge and flow depth was highly fluctuated. As the results of RMS ratio, the flow discharge and flow depth was lower two step slope angle than the straight slope angle. Second, the behavior of debris flow was investigated by the four cases of gradient degree at the downstream of slope angle. The band width of flow discharge and flow depth for $14^{\circ}$ between $16^{\circ}$ was higher than other gradient degree, and fluctuation curve was continuously high after 10 seconds.

Recently, the frequency of torrential rain is increasing due to climate change, which causes a large amount of debris flows. The purpose of this study was to understand the flow characteristics of debris flow according to the change in channel slope and volumetric sediment concentration and to analyze the effects of a berm on the flow characteristics of debris flow. The flow characteristics of debris flow, such as flow velocity, flow depth, Froude number, and flow resistance coefficients, were calculated using laboratory tests. The effect of a berm was analyzed by comparing the experimental results of a linear channel with those of a one-stepped channel. The results showed that the channel slope affected the flow velocity and flow depth, and the volumetric sediment concentration affected the flow velocity and flow depth, Froude number, and flow resistance coefficient. Moreover, as a berm was installed, the flow velocity and flow depth decreased by up to 26.1% and 71.2%, respectively. This means that installing a berm reduces the flow velocity, thereby reducing the mobility and kinetic energy. These results provide useful information to understand better the flow characteristics of debris flow and the effectiveness of a berm.

Abandoned mines often cause environmental problems, such as alteration of landscape, metal contamination, and landslides due to a heavy rainfall. Geotechnical and rheological tests were performed on waste materials corrected from Imgi waste rock dump, located in Busan Metropolitan City. Debris flow mobility was examined with the help of 1-D BING model which was often simulated in both subaerial and subaqueous environments. To determine flow curve, we used a vane-penetrated rheometer. The shear stress (${\tau}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) and viscosity(${\eta}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) relationships were plotted using a shear stress control mode. Well-known rheological models, such as Bingham, bilinear, Herschel-Bulkley, Power-law, and Papanastasiou concepts, were compared to the rheological data. From the test results, we found that the tested waste materials exhibited a typical shear shinning behavior in ${\tau}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ and and ${\eta}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ plots, but the Bingham behavior is often observed when the water contents increased. The test results show that experimental data are in good agreement with rheological models in the post-failure stage during shearing. Based on the rheological properties (i.e., Bingham yield stress and viscosity as a function of the volumetric concentration of sediment) of waste materials, initial flowing shape (5 m, 10 m, and 15 m) and yield stress (100 Pa, 200 Pa, 300 Pa, and 500 Pa) were input to simulate the debris flow motion. As a result, the runout distance and front velocity of debris flow are in inverse propositional to yield stress. In particular, when the yield stress is less than 500 Pa, most of failed masses can flow into the stream, resulting in a water contamination.
