Sediment texture, physical (porosity, water content, bulk density, grain density, and shear strength), and geoacoustic properties (compressional wave velocity and attenuation) were measured on eighteen core samples collected from the shelf off eastern Geoje Island, the South Sea of Korea. Based on these properties, the study area is divided into three different sub-areas: (1) Area I affected directly by the Nakdong River discharge; (2) Area II covered by the southern branch of the Nakdong River discharge; and (3) Area III dominated by relict sediment. Mean grain size, velocity, and bulk density decrease from Area $I(7.4\Phi,\;1528m/s,\;1.6g/cm^3,\;respectively)$ to Area $II(8.1\Phi,\;1485m/s,\;and\;1.5g/cm^3)$, and then increase rather rapidly in Area $III(1.4\Phi,\;1664m/s,\;and\;2.2g/cm^3)$. Porosity, on the other hand, exhibits an opposite trend, increasing from Area $I(64.5\%)$ to Area$II(73.9\%)$ and then decreasing significantly in Area $III(32.9\%)$ From the results measured and calculated, we suggest a specified geoacoustic model in the study area.

본 연구는 시화호 표층에 분포하는 점착성 퇴적물의 침식특성을 정량적으로 산정하고 산정된 침식특성의 지엽적 변화 및 타 지역 침식특성 결과와의 비교/분석을 통한 공간적 변화 해석을 목적으로 환형수조를 이용한 침식 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 퇴적물 자체의 물리 화학적 특성 및 해수 특성이 침식특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 시화호 점착성 퇴적물에 대한 물리 화학적 특성 및 해수 특성에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 침식실험은 균일저면 조건에서 3개 지점에 대해 지점별로 $5{\sim}7$회씩 총 17회의 실험이 수행되었으며, 본 연구를 통하여 도출되어지는 시화호 점착성 퇴적물의 침식특성 매개변수들은 시화호 해역에서의 수층 탁도 분포 및 세굴/퇴적량 산정 등을 위한 수치모형실험 시에 기초 입력 자료로 크게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, a series of deposition tests have been conducted on saltwater condition(salinity 32 %o) using an annular flume, in order to estimate depositional properties of kaolinite sediments and to analyze the effect of the initial concentration on them. Total 37 deposition tests have been carried out in three different initial concentrations (1000, 5000, 15000 ppm) with varying the bed shear stress. From these test results, minimum shear stress (or critical shear stress for deposition; ${\tau}_{bmin}$) and the deposition rate parameters (${\sigma}_1,\;({\tau}^*_b-1)_{50},\;{\sigma}_2,\;t_{50}$) for kaolinite sediments have been quantified, and the effects of the initial concentration and salinity on depositional properties of cohesive sediments have been analyzed qualitatively. As the results, ${\tau}_{bmin},\;{\sigma}_1\;and\;({\tau}^*_b-1)_{50}$ are found to be 0.147, 0.74 and $0.65N/m^2$ respectively. Through comparing with results from previous studies, the performance of this study and tests results are shown to be good enough to verify.

In order to understand the transport mechanism of tidal beach sediments in Deukryang Bay, south coast of Korea, beach profiles, surface sediments, sedimentation rates and hydrodynamic conditions have been investigated. The beach is composed of a steep beach face and gentle low-tide terrace, showing general morphologic characteristics of tide dominated beach. Central beach face of an indented coast becomes flattened in summer, but ridge and runnel system developed in other seasons makes the beach profile rather irregular. These seasonal variations of beach profiles and sedimentation rate indicate that beach sedimentation is mainly controlled by both tide and wave processes. Erosion is prevalent in winter when strong wind wave is dominant, while deposition is dominant in other seasons. However, central beach showed an apparent erosional phase in summer. This is caused by strong waves induced by southerly strong winds occurring ephemerally during the summer. On the other hand, sedimentation rates are -89.2 mm/yr on the central beach and 60.5 mm/yr and 38.2 mm/yr on the sides. This result suggests that sediments are eroded on the central beach and subsequently transported to the both sides. Therefore, the central part of Sumun beach, used as a beach bathing site, will be continuously eroded, if nearby dyke continues to prevent the sediment supply from sources.

In order to understand the sedimentary environment of the southern intertidal zone of Shihwa Lake, west coast of Gyeonggi-do, 10 surface and 2 core sediment samples were analysed for grain size, water content, AVS (Acid Volatile Sulfide), TOC (Total Organic Carbon), concentrations of metals (Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, As, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cd, and Cr). The surface sediments are generally poorly sorted (0.60~2.31 ${\phi}$) sandy Silt, slightly gravelly muddy Sand, silty Sand, Sand with mean grain size of 2.95 to 6.00 ${\phi}$. The sediments contain Al (1.54%), Fe (1.75%), Cu (9.1ppm), As (1.1ppm), Pb (18.8 ppm), Ni (11.0 ppm), Cd (0.02 ppm), and Cr (30.1 ppm) on the average. Heavy metals are concentrated less than ERL (Effect Range-Low), verified by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). In the core sediments, they are also less than the ERL. Based on the uniform vertical distribution of excess radioactivity of $^{210}Pb$, the core sediments seen to have been actively mixed biologically or rapidly deposited after the construction of Shi-Hwa Seawall. The 'enrichment factor' of metals, normalized to Al, shows that the upper sediments of 35 cm in depth are more polluted. infect was significant in 2 core sediment samples in 35 cm below layer.

유역 전체의 토양침식량에 대한 토사유출량의 비로 정의되는 토사유출률은 유역의 크기가 커지면 토사가 유출되는 과정에서 퇴적되거나, 저류될 수 있는 지형적인 요인이 많아지게 되어 상대적으로 감소한다. 우리나라 산불지역의 유역에 대량의 토사유출을 제어하기 위해 설치된 여러개의 사방댐을 활용하여 강우사상별 댐 저류지에 퇴적되는 토사량 측정하였다. 실측된 토사유출량과 산지사면을 대상으로 개발된 토양침식 모형인 SEMMA에 의해 예측된 토양침식량과를 비교하여 유역크기에 따른 토사유출률의 관계를 분석하였다. SEMMA는 강우에 의한 토양입자의 분리현상과 지표유출에 의한 세류와 세류간 침식에 의해 발생하는 토양침식량을 산정하지만, 구곡이나, 유역의 수로에서의 침식은 고려하지 않는다. 보편적으로 토사유출률은 1.0을 넘지 않으나, 본 연구에서는 토사유출률이 대부분 1.0을 넘는 결과를 보여 산불 지역의 유역에서는 수로발달과 수로확장에 의한 침식이 심각했다. 토사유출률이 산지 유역이 커짐에 따라 감소하는 경향은 세계의 다른 유역에서의 조사된 결과와 비슷한 결과를 보였으나, 수치적인 차이가 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한 토사유출률은 강우사상의 크기에도 상관성이 있음이 확인되었다.

An annular flume has been constructed in order to estimate the erosion rate of fine cohesive sediments. Under an uniform bed condition, some erosion tests for Kaolinite sediments have been conducted to examine the performance of the flume and to check the validity of experimental method and results. In this study, the critical shear stress for erosion and the erosion rate coefficient are estimated and compared with the existing measurements. It is concluded that the performance of the annular flume is good enough to conduct erosion tests and the experimental method and results are valid.

본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 하도식생의 성장과 소멸 고려한 교호사주의 거동을 분석하였다. 식생의 성장과 소멸은 식생의 밀도에 영향을 준다. 식생이 성장하면 식생밀도가 증가하고 식생이 소멸하면 식생의 밀도 감소한다. 식생이 성장하면서, 교호사주의 이동은 정지되고, 식생대에서 퇴적이 발생하며, 사주의 파고가 증가하였다. 식생의 성장률이 증가하면서 식생대에서 유사는 퇴적되어 사주의 면적은 증가하였으며, 식생이 성장과 사주의 변화과정은 일치하였다. 첨두유출시간의 변화에 따른 사주의 변화와 식생성장률의 변화를 분석하였다. 첨두유출 시간이 짧아서 첨두홍수가 일찍 도달하는 조건에서 사주의 파장은 상대적으로 작고, 하상고의 변화가 작은 특성을 보여주었다. 첨두유출 시간이 길어서 첨두홍수가 늦게 도달하는 조건에서 사주의 파장은 길고, 유사의 퇴적 면적이 증가하였다.

The objective of this study is to identify the radionuclide distribution in public water by carrying out the analysis of artificial radionuclides($^{134}Cs$, $^{137}Cs$, $^{239+240}Pu$), natural radionuclide($^{210}Pb$) and TOC in the lake Euiam sediment in Chuncheon, South Korea. The $^{134}Cs$ concentration in all lake sediments showed below MDA values, and the $^{137}Cs$ concentration in lake sediment were ranged from MDA to $8.79Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The $^{137}Cs$ concentrations in surface sediment were reported to be 2.4 to $4.2Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The lowest concentration of $^{137}Cs$ was reported at St. 4 and the highest concentration was reported at St. 3, respectively. The $^{239+240}Pu$ concentration in lake sediment were ranged from 0.049 to $0.47Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}-dry$. The lowest concentration was reported at St. 2 and the highest concentration was reported at St. 3. The correlation(r) between the $^{239+240}Pu$ concentration and $^{137}Cs$ concentration in lake sediment presented higher values (0.54 to 0.97) and this suggests the behavior and origin of $^{137}Cs$ is identical to the $^{239+240}Pu$ in the sediment. The $^{134}Cs$ concentration below MDA value and the $^{239+240}Pu/^{137}Cs$ ratio(mean value of 0.041) indicated that the artificial radionuclides in the sediment were originated from global fallout by the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons conducted by former USSR and U.S.A, but not from the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident. The sedimentation rate derived from $^{210}Pb$ age-dating method at St. 2 is calculated to be $0.31{\pm}0.06cm{\cdot}y^{-1}$. This value is similar to the value ($0.41{\pm}0.05cm{\cdot}y^{-1}$) estimated from the $^{137}Cs$ maximum peak produced from early 1960's. The content of TOC in lake Euiam sediments varied from 0.20 to 13.01%. While the highest correlation between TOC and $^{137}Cs$ concentration in the sediment were found at St. 1, the others presented the low correlation.
