This study conducted to develop an assessment method of runout distance of debris flow that is a major type of landslides in Korea. In order to accomplish the objectives, this study performed detailed field survey of runout distance and laboratory soil tests using 24 landslides over three pilot sites. Based on the data of the field survey and the laboratory tests, an assessment method of runout distance was suggested using the artificial neural network. The input data for the analysis of artificial neural network are change rate of slope angle, Permeability coefficient of in-situ soil, dry density, void ratio, volume of debris and the measured runout distance. The analyzed results using the artificial neural network show low error rate of inference distributing lower than $10\%$. Some cases have $5\%$ and $2\%$ of error rates of inferences. The results can be thought as excellent teaming rates. However, it is difficult to be accepted as excellent results if it is considered with the results derived using only 24 landslide data. Therefore, more landslide data should be surveyed and analyzed to increase the confidence in the assessment results.

This study developed a prediction model of debris flow to predict a landslide probability on natural terrain composed of the Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks using a logistic regression analysis. The landslides data were collected around Pohang, Gyeongbuk province where more than 100 landslides were occurred in 1998. Considered with basic characteristics of the logistic regression analysis, field survey and laboratory soil tests were performed for both slided points and not-slided points. The final iufluential factors on landslides were selected as six factors by the logistic regression analysis. The six factors are composed of two topographic factors and four geologic factors. The developed landslide prediction model has more than $90\%$ of prediction accuracy. Therefore, it is possible to make probabilistic and quantitative prediction of landslide occurrence using the developed model in this study area as well as the previously developed model for metamorphic and granitic rocks.

급경사 산지하천은 호우 시 퇴적 하상이 붕괴하여 하천 유사량을 급격히 증가시키는 계곡형 토석류가 발생하고 도로와 교량에 피해를 일으키기도 한다. 이러한 하천재해를 저감하기 위하여 돌망태 낙차공을 설치하여 하상 안정을 강화하고 급경사에 따른 유수에너지를 줄일 수 있다. 급경사 하상에 설치한 돌망태 낙차공은 하류부 하상의 국부세굴에 따른 파괴위험이 완경사 하상의 경우에 비하여 높으므로 이를 줄이기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 광폭경사조절 개수로에 돌망태 낙차공을 설치하고 낙차공의 채움재가 복류의 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 수리실험을 하였다. 수리실험에서는 최대 20º까지 경사를 조절할 수 있는 길이 1.44m, 폭 0.14m인 직사각형 단면 개수로에 SUS304 구슬을 사용하여 하상과 돌망태 낙차공을 설치하고 실험하였다. 구슬은 크기에 따라 작은구슬(10.31mm), 중간구슬(15.08mm), 큰구슬(20.63mm)을 사용하고, 하상에는 작은구슬을 깔았다. 낙차공의 크기는 길이 16cm이고 폭과 높이는 12cm이며, 돌망태는 작은구슬을 사용한 단일돌망태와 구슬 크기를 달리한 계층돌망태로 구분하였다. 계층돌망태의 상층은 작은구슬, 중층은 중간구슬, 하층은 큰구슬이 채움재로 사용되었다. 단일돌망태의 공극율은 0.399이고 계층돌망태의 공극률은 상층 0.393, 중층 0.517, 하층 0.54이다. 실험유량의 변화는 낙차공 하단부에서 표면류가 발생하지 않는 범위로 한정하였다. 낙차공 하단에서 상류 68cm 지점의 소류력과 낙차공 내부 복류의 수면경사를 측정하였다. 그 결과 단일돌망태보다 계층돌망태가 소류력과 수면경사가 더 작은 것으로 나타났으며 돌망태의 공극을 통한 통수능 차이 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

We carried out a geological survey to classify the types of mass movement in Danyang Geopark (where various rock types are distributed) and analyzed the mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of landslide materials using a series of laboratory tests. Debris flows occurred in areas of limestone/marble, shale, and porphyroblastic gneiss, and limestone/marble landslides were distinguished from the others through the presence of karren topography. Soil tests showed that soil derived from weathered gneiss, which has a higher proportion of coarse grains, has a higher friction angle, lower cohesion, and larger hydraulic conductivity than soils from areas of limestone/marble, and shale. Rock failure mass movements occurred in areas of phyllite, sandstone, and conglomerate and were subdivided into plane failure, block-fall, and boulder-fall types in areas of phyllite, sandstone, and conglomerate, respectively. The shear strength of phyllite is much lower than that of the other types of rock, which have similar rock quality. The slake durability index of the conglomerate is similar to that of the other rock types, which have similar degrees of weathering, but differential weathering of the matrix and clasts was clearly observed when comparing the samples before and after the test. This study can help establish appropriate reinforcement and disaster prevention measures, which depend on the type of mass movement expected given the geological characteristics of an area.

In mountain gully, channelized debris flow is an important phenomenon in the process of topographical change. Social infrastructure as roads may be damaged by channelized debris flows, but there has been little information about their occurrence and movement to prepare for the risk of the debris flow. Most of the channelized debris flows occur during heavy rains in mountainous valleys that are difficult to access, so there are not many field data. In this study, the topographical characteristics of the catchment, the rainfall and runoff related to the debris flow, the sedimentary pattern and the cross-sectional change of the channel bed, and the underflow velocity of the gravel bed have been investigated and analyzed in the Singi gully where the channelized debris flows occurred. In the catchment, there was almost no sediment runoff because the vegetation combine with the debris landforms and covered the surface. Therefore, the obvious cause of the channelized debris flows is the collapse of the slope and bed of the gully. Even if the gravel, cobbles, and boulders of the channel bed were lost by debris flow, the thalweg change due to debris flow may not be significant because they are supplied from the gully side slope normally. After the gabion structures were installed, the debris flow increased the thalweg change, bed erosion and side slope of the gully. Various sedimentary structures in the gully were classified according to the factors supporting the sedimentation. The hypsometric curve of the gully reflects the debris landforms and vegetation characteristics of the watershed and the sediment runoff due to debris flow, etc. The relationship between the flow velocity and the hydraulic gradient was non-linear under the condition that the porous medium with gully bed gravels is saturated with water. These results may be used as basic data for channelized debris flow research.

The recognitions of geometrical characteristics and occurrence conditions are very important to evaluate the land-slides in natural terrains. In this paper, the geometrical characteristics of landslides are analyzed according to a geo-logical condition in three landslides areas. The three landslides areas are classified to the geological condition. The three landslides areas are Jangheung, Sangju and Pohang. The geology of Jangheung area, Sangju area and Pohang area is gneiss, granite, and the tertiary sedimentary rock, respectively. During a heavy rainfall of $150{\sim}588mm$ in these areas, 1,582 landslides have occurred in 1998. The geometrical characteristics according to the geological condition analyzed from the investigation of these landslides. The frequency of landslide is high exceedingly above 90% of a slope attitude, while the frequency is very low below 70%. The frequency of landslide is high exceedingly between $26^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ of slope angle, while the frequency is very low below $20^{\circ}$. The size of the landslides is ranged from several tens to several hundreds The length is ranged from 5 m to 300 m, and the width is ranged from 3 m to 50 m. Also, the depth is less than 1 m. Therefore, the landslides in these areas have small width, long length and shallow depth. The type of the landslides is changed from transitional slide at the scarp to debris flow at the low part of slope.

근래 게릴라성 호우, 국지성 호우, 짧은 시간에 걸친 집중 호우 등 예측하기 힘든 강우로 인하여 발생하는 피해를 방지하기 위한 방재 사업의 일환으로 각종 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 원주천 유역, 설마천 유역 등 집중호우로 인해 산사태로 인한 피해가 빈번히 발생, 서울시를 비롯한 전국 도시의 내 외수로 인한 수해피해도 상습적으로 발생하고 있음에도 불구하고 지역 유형별 특성을 반영한 호우피해 대책은 미비한 실정이다. 수재해 사례별 강우특성을 분석하고 유역별 피해저감 대책을 분석하였다. 도시지역의 경우 내 외수로 인한 침수피해가 주로 발생하였고 하천준설, 제방공사, 관로 용량확장, 펌프장 증설 또는 확장을 하는 방법으로 피해를 복구하였다. 농경지의 경우 침수피해나 유실피해가 큰 편이며 2차적으로 오염피해를 유발한다. 우리나라에서는 논으로부터의 영양물질 유출 부하량에 관한 연구는 이미 수행되었으나, 직접적으로 토사유출을 저감하는 적극적인 방법에 대한 연구는 더 수행되어야 할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 산지유역의 경우 토석류, 유목등에 의한 피해가 심각하였으며 지금까지의 복구대책으로는 하천의 준설, 사방댐의 설치, 사방댐을 설치한 후 조림(造林)을 설치하여 유사저감 효과를 증대시키는 방법을 포함하여 링네트공법 등 국외에서 개발된 신기술 등이 적용되었다. 대표적 피해유역 유형은 도시, 농경지, 해안, 산지유역으로 분류할 수 있었으며 각 유역별 피해유형을 정리하였다. 앞으로의 연구에서는 기존의 유역별 피해사례 및 강우규모를 바탕으로 최근 강우특성에 적합한 설계기준을 제시하고 특히 유역특성을 반영한 지역 유형별 홍수피해 저감기법에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

In Korea, there exist many mountains, and sudden storms occur during the summer season. When severe rainstorm events occur in steep slope topography, risk of debris flow is increased. Once debris flow occurs in urban area, it may cause casualties and physical damages due to rapid debris flow velocity along a steep slope. Accordingly, preventing method of sediment-related disaster for demage mitigation are essential. Recently, various studies on debris flow have been conducted. However, the prediction of the physical propagation of debris flow along the steep slope was not thoroughly investigated. Debris flow is characterized by various factors such as topography, properties of debris flow, amount of debris flow. In the study the numerical simulation was focused on the topographic factor. Fundamental analysis of the risk area was implemented with emphasis on the propagation length, thickness, and the development of maximum velocity. The proposed results and the methodology of estimating the structural vulnerability would be helpful in predicting the behavior and the risk assessment of debris flow in urban area. These results will be able to estimate the vulnerability of urban areas affected the most damage by debris flow.

Triggering rainfall and geologic conditions with the state of slope hazard were investigated based on the field investigation and collected data on the slope hazard during the period between 2011 and 2014 in Korea. Analysis results showed that most of slope hazards occurred in metamorphic rock and debris flow was the most frequent type of slope hazard. Slope hazard increased when the higher monthly mean rainfall was recorded. However, most of slope hazard occurred when certain time elapsed after the moment of maximum hourly rainfall. Finally, more than one month of long-term rainfall was shown to be related to the frequency of slope hazard in the period.
