The purpose of this paper is to present a strategic approach to selecting prior areas of soil erosion to be examined for effective soil conservation planning and management, in conjunction with remote sensing data and GIS skill for surface characteristics. To do this, two basins are selected: Andong and Imha basin. Geographically one is in the vicinity of the other but turbidity in the main reservoir of each basin is quite different. it is important to clarify general behavior of soil erosion driven by rainfall event for both basins for further understanding and effective soil conservation planning and management. Also, Both basins are divided into several sub-basins and the severity of soil loss is intensively investigated to identify areas with high erosion potential for each sub-basin so that the efficiency of soil conservation program may increase. Especially, this study analyzed soil erodibility factor(K), topographic factor(LS), cover management factor(C) and soil erosion; 3 sub-basins for Andong basin (up-, mid-, downstream) and 6 sub-basins for Imha basin (up-, mid-, and downstream for two tributaries) because Imha basin consists of two tributaries (Banyeon and Yongjeon river). The approach suggested herein will provide a guideline for choosing prior areas to be examined and managed for soil conservation planning.

This study analyzed the characteristics of sediment produce by landslide triggered by rainfall. One-dimensional unsaturated groundwater model and infinite slope stability analysis were used to estimate the behavior of soil moisture and slope stability according to rainfall, respectively. Slope stability analysis was performed considering on soil depth and characteristics of trees. The results of the analysis on characteristics of sediment produce according to rainfall events showed that the sediment produce by landslide was mainly contributed to rainfall intensity and its temporal clustering. The results of the analysis on characteristics of sediment produce by extreme events showed that remaining rainfall amount of typhoon 'Rusa' was much more than that of the other extreme events, and thus this remaining rainfall was to contribute to sediment transportation. Additionally, only a small number of extreme events were found to cause most amount of sediment produce in a basin.

하천에 산사태, 하천 주변 개발, 제방 및 댐 붕괴 등으로 인하여 다량의 토사가 돌발적으로 유입될 경우 유입된 토사가 하천의 거동에 미치는 영향은 막대하다. 또한 하도 내에 설치되어 있는 교량, 보와 같은 수공 구조물로 인하여 단면형태가 갑작스럽게 변화하는 경우나, 구조물로 인하여 토사가 퇴적되는 경우 하천의 수위 변화를 크게 유발하여 하천 범람과 제방 침식 등을 발생시키며 하천의 안전에 큰 위험 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 현재 다량의 토사가 하천에 돌발적으로 유입되는 위험으로부터 안전하게 보호하기 위해서 토사 유입 방지 대책에 대하여 많은 연구와 사업이 실시되고 있지만 이러한 치수대책이 완전하다고 하기에는 다소 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 홍수 조절 및 방재를 위한 수방대책 수립 및 수자원의 집중적인 관리가 무엇보다 절실히 요구되며, 이와 같은 토사에 의한 방재대책 수립을 위해서 수리학적 특성을 정확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 7월에 발생한 강우에 의하여 침수피해가 발생된 경기도 이천의 오천천을 대상으로 수치해석을 통한 침수 범람 원인을 분석하였으며, 하류부에 위치하고 있는 공장의 경우 내부가 1m이상 침수됨에 따라 흔적수위 및 현장 상황을 조사하였고, 당일 강우를 통한 홍수위를 산정하여 여러 가지 원인별 홍수 원인을 분석하였다. 2011년 7월에 발생된 강우는 복하천 하천정비기본계획에 제시되어 있는 설계빈도로 30년 빈도에 못 미치는 것으로 나타나 강우에 의한 영향보다는 외부 영향으로 판단되며, 상류로부터 순간적으로 유입된 토사의 과다 퇴적에 의한 수위 상승에 의하여 교량 및 보 등의 수공구조물과 연계된 통수 단면적의 부족 등의 영향으로 홍수 범람이 발생된 것으로 분석되었다. 홍수 범람에 의한 영향을 분석하기 위하여는 단순히 강우에 대한 영향을 고려하는 것 보다 하천의 전반적인 특성을 고려하여 정확한 원인 규명을 통한 대처방안이 수립되어야 하며, 지속적인 모니터링을 통하여 하천에 의한 피해를 최소화 할 필요가 있다.

우리나라는 산악지형 특성상 붕적층이 발달한 지역이 많아 도로나 건축물이 계획될 경우 일반적으로 이러한 지역을 배제하는 계획을 수립하게 된다. 그러나 현장 여건상 불가피하게 붕적층 구간을 포함한 건설 계획이 수립될 경우 지반 굴착, 사면 절취로 인해 지반 거동특성이 불안정할 수 있으므로 상세한 사전 조사와 적절한 토공 및 굴착 계획과 시공 중 Feed Back 등이 면밀히 이루어져야 한다. 붕적층 지반은 소량의 토사에 자갈, 호박돌, 전석 등이 혼재되어 있는 상태로 주로 테일러스에 의해 생성되며, 암괴의 함량이 매우 높으며 소량의 풍화된 잔류토사가 혼재된 양상을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 붕적층이 깊게 분포하는 지역, 특히 배면에 지장물(상수도관 등)문제로 인해 발생한 가시설 붕괴지역을 사례로 역해석을 통한 붕적층의 지반정수 재평가를 실시하였다.

Lightweight Foamed Soil (LWFS) is a useful material for underground pipe backfill because of reusability of excavated soil and no compaction effect. In this research, a pilot test is carried out and monitoring results are analyzed to investigate behaviors of a flexible pipe, when LWFS is applied as a backfill material. Simultaneously, they are compared with another test case which is backfilled with Saemangeum dredged soil. As a result, the vertical earth pressure of the case backfilled with LWFS slurry presents that decreases as much as 25.6% in comparison with dredged soil and it is only within 10% after solidification. In case backfilled with dredged soil, the horizontal earth pressure is more than 3.6 times of the case used by LWFS and the vertical and horizontal deformation is more than 3.2 and 2.6 times of the case, respectively. It presents excellent effects on earth pressure and deformation reduction of LWFS. The stresses measured at the upper side of the pipe generally present compressive aspects in case backfilled with dredged soil. However, they present tensile aspects in case of LWFS. It is because of negative moment occurred at the center of the pipe due to the buoyancy from LWFS slurry. Conclusively, LWFS using Saemangeum dredged soil is very excellent material to use near the area in comparison with the dredged soil. However, the countermeasure to prevent the buoyancy is required.

This paper presents a procedure of calculating a safety factor of the unsaturated slope suffering from the rainfall infiltration. The process of infiltration into a slope due to rainfall and its effect on the behavior of the soil slope are examined by using a two dimensional finite element flow-deformation coupled analysis. A factor of safety is calculated at various elapsed times after the commencement of rainfall as in the following procedure. First, stresses are estimated at each Gaussian point from the coupled finite element analysis. Then, the global stress smoothing method is applied to get a continuous stress field. Based on this stress field, a factor of safety is calculated for a specified slip surface by a stress integration scheme. Then, a search strategy is used to find out a critical slip surface which is associated with the minimum factor of safety. Some numerical examples are analyzed in order to study the effect of hydraulic conductivity on the slope stability during rain-induced infiltration. According to the results, local failure zone can be formed near the slope surface due to inhomogeneous distribution of hydraulic conductivity If the failure zone is once formed, then the region extends until a large amount of slide activates. Therefore the local failure can be neglected no longer in the stability analysis.

In this research, model tests have been performed for researching the seepage characteristics in the finite soil slope during the rainfall using a manufactured rainfall simulator. On the basis of the results, it has been analyzed how to change the seepage characteristics due to the duration time of rainfall. We are found that the pore-water pressure was gradually increased as increasing the duration time of rainfall. Specially, at the beginning of rainfall, the pore-water pressure in the middle surface of slope was measured larger than any point. As increasing the duration time of rainfall, the pore-water pressure at the inner part of slope was increased greatly at the collapse due to infiltrating the pore-water within the slope. In the research, it was not easy to get various test results because measuring instruments are high sensitivity and difficult to handle. For the future, the model test results are needed for the various slope angle.

A feasibility of using Particle Entrainment Simulator (PES) to evaluate model variables describing sediment entrainment in a river system was investigated. PES in a laboratory was utilized to simulate the sediment resuspension phenomenon in the river and the subsequent relationship between shear rate and sediment entrainment was developed. The total suspended solids (TSS) data from PES was incorporated into statistical models in an effort to describe behaviors of net particle movement in the river. PES was found to be adequate for simulating particle entrainment phenomenon in a river system. Statistical analysis was used to assess propriety of PES data for predictive purposes. The results showed good relationships between PES results and system variables, such as average stream velocity and net particle movement.

The importance of tidal flats lost due to industrialization has recently received attention, and attention is being paid to the creation of artificial tidal flats and maintenance of natural tidal flats. However, there is still a lack of understanding about the behavioral characteristics of mud, mud, and sand that form tidal flats. Although research on the movement characteristics of mixed soils such as tidal flats has been conducted through field investigations and hydraulic experiments, interest in developing a numerical model based on these results has not yet reached. In this paper, the purpose of this paper is to establish a mixed soil model that can efficiently manage the low quality of the tidal flats. In constructing a model for reproducing the surface movement of mixed soil, the numerical stability of the reproduction and movement of sand and mud constituting the mixed soil in the numerical model should be considered first, so first, the volume of sand and mud constituting the mixed soil A mixed soil model representing the relationship was proposed based on a topographical diagram representing the geometric structure of the mixed soil. In order to consider the dry bulk density of the mixed soil, it was possible to consider the dry bulk density of the mud by introducing the water content of the mud containing water. In addition, it was confirmed that the mud and sand movement calculation according to the slope collapse of the mixed soil was stably performed through the calculation of the slope collapse of the mixed soil through the numerical analysis model to which the proposed mixed soil model was applied.
