The water retention function which has the hysteresis phenomena is required to analyze the Richards equation which is a governing equation of the unsaturated flow, and its hysteresis phenomena has influence upon the characteristics of the unsaturated flow. The accuracy of the published hysteresis models is compared by using experimental data of the water retention function. The apparatus to experiment the hysteresis phenomena on the soil is developed, and experimental data for the main wetting process and the main drying process of the water retention function are obtained. The parameters of the van Genuchten equation are calibrated by using experimentally obtained data. As a result of the comparison of the selected hysteresis models which simulate the main drying curve from the main wetting curve, the Model I-1(Mualem) overestimates and the Model II-1(Mualem) underestimates but the Model III-2(Park and Sonu) similarly estimates the experimental data of the main drying curve.

The one-dimensional solute transport models have been developed for recent decades to predict behavior and fate of solutes in rivers. Transient storage model (TSM) is the most popular model because of its simple conceptualization to consider the complexity of natural rivers. However, the TSM is highly dependent on its parameters which cannot be directly measured. In addition, the TSM interprets the late-time behavior of concentration curves in the shape of an exponential function, which has been evaluated as not suitable for actual solute behavior in natural rivers. In this study, we suggested a stochastic approach to the solute transport analysis. We delineated the model development and model application to a natural river, and compared the results of the proposed model to those of the TSM. To validate the proposed model, a tracer test was carried out in the 4.85 km reach of Gam Creek, one of the first-order tributaries of Nakdong River, South Korea. As a result of comparing the power-law slope of the tail of breakthrough curves, the simulation results from the stochastic storage model yielded the average error rate of 0.24, which is more accurate than the 14.03 and 1.87 from advection-dispersion model and TSM, respectively. This study demonstrated the appropriateness of the power-law residence time distribution to the hyporheic zone of the Gam Creek.

The hydrologic response function in a small basin is expressed by the distribution function of slope length. The characteristics of topographical factors is represented to the concentration time, and the instantaneous unit hydrograph is derived as a hydrologic rsponse function by application of probobility density function. The averaging process of runoff characteristics within watershed was analyzed for a few small watershed where was split up the small basin itself. The method of calculation of the effective rainfall should play important roles in the transformation process from hydrologic response function to runoff hydrograph. In this paper, the Horton's infiltration quation is used as a method of calculation of effective rainfall, a new response function of runoff process is derived. The $\Phi$-index method and the infiltration method are tested by comparing the observed and estimated values.

This study developed a flood index which evaluates runoff characteristics. Runoff characteristics expressed in a hydrograph were reflected in the flood index in the form of characteristic factors such as a rising curve gradient, a peak discharge, a flood response time, and a flood discharge volume prior to peak. This study applied the standardization method to estimate the relative severity of the characteristic factors by transforming the distribution of characteristic factors into the standard normal distribution. The flood index developed in this study is a comprehensive flood index (CFI) which makes up for the weak points of a flash flood index (FFI) in determining relative severities. The CFI was applied to Han River basin and Selma River basin, and was compared with the FFI based on the correlation analysis and the regression analysis. The CFI could comprehensively evaluate flood runoff characteristics because the CFI is not dominated by a specific characteristic factor, and the CFI could explain more efficiently the relationship between rainfall and runoff than the FFI.

동역학파 기반 순간단위도 (Dynamic wave-based Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph)를 이용하여 유역에서의 강우에 의한 유출을 예측하는 기법을 개발하였으며, 국내 실제 자연 유역에 적용하여 기법의 타당성과 적용성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 '동역학파 기반 순간단위도 방법'은 물리기반 수치모형인 동역학파 강우유출모형과 개념적 순간단위도 방법을 결합하여 사용함으로써 물리적으로 정확하면서도 빠르고 안정적으로 강우-유출을 예측하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 유역의 순간단위도는 유역의 지형, 조도계수와 동역학파 강우유출모형인 tRIBS-OFM을 이용하여 계산된 S-수문곡선을 수치적으로 미분함으로써 유도되며, 유도된 순간단위도는 강우강도에 따라 변화하므로 회선적분을 통한 유출수문곡선 예측 시 강우-유출 관계의 비선형성을 고려할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 유도된 순간단위도의 첨두 값과 첨두 발생시간은 강우강도 값과 각각 양과 음의 상관관계를 가졌으며 강우강도 값과 멱 함수 (power function)의 관계를 가졌다. 이는 Paik and Kumar (2004) 등 기존 연구들에서 밝힌 순간단위도의 특성과 일치하였으며, 본 연구에서는 더 나아가 멱함수의 지수를 산정한 후 임의의 강우강도 값에 대응하는 순간단위도를 멱함수 관계를 이용하여 보간할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 실제 유역에 대한 적용은 강원도 인제군에 위치한 내린천 유역을 대상으로 수행하였다. 유역을 여러 개의 소유역으로 분할하여 강우의 공간적 분포를 고려하였으며, 각 소유역에서의 유출량을 동역학파 기반 순간단위도를 이용해 계산한 뒤 물리기반의 하도추적모형을 이용하여 전체 유역에서의 유출수문곡선을 예측했다. 예측된 유출수문곡선을 관측 유출 자료와 비교해본 결과 NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient)가 0.6 이상으로 측정되어 적절히 유출을 예측한 것으로 판단되었다.

In this study the behavior of pile groups is investigated experimentally. Special attention is given to the load transfer characteristics of pile groups and to the evaluation of the group effects under vertical and horizontal loadings. In the laboratory experiments, vertical and lateral loadings were imposed on model piles in sand. Model piles made of PVC embedded in Joomoonjin sand were used in this study. Pile arrangements($2\times2,\; 3\times3$) and pile spacings(2.5D, 5.OD, 7.5D) were considered. Load-transfer curves(t-z, q-z and p-y curves), load-deflection curves and group interaction factors were obtained from the experimental results. The group interaction factors under both vertical and horizontal loadings were proposed for the cases of $2\times2\; and\; 3\times3$ pile groups with varying ratios of pile spacings. p-multipliers in this study were found for the individual piles in $2\times2\; and\; 3\times3$ pile groups.

Recent weather changes have led to an increase in heavy rainfall resulting in frequent large-scale slope failures. To minimize damage to life and property, a measurement system is used in slope failure warning systems. However, understanding the slope failure behavior is difficult as the measurement system only measures a specific point. Therefore, numerical analysis must be p erformed with the measurement system. The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) drying curve and boundary conditions that consider evapotranspiration and precipitation have been applied to numerical analysis, but the hysteresis of SWCC affects the numerical analysis results. To address this, a new evapotranspiration calculation method is proposed and applied to boundary conditions, and the measurement data are compared with the results of the numerical analysis. This method takes into account the different infiltration behaviors on evapotranspiration according to the drying and wetting curves of the SWCC, and allows for a more rational prediction of water movement on unsaturated slopes.

In performing a risk analysis of structures under earthquakes, it is imperative to identify the vulnerability of structures associated with various damage stages considering structural properties, soil-structure interactions, site condition, and so on. In this paper, the method to derive a representative fragility curve of seismic isolated LRB(lead rubber bearing) bridges is proposed. In which, the curve is assumed log-normally distribution with two parameters. The risk analysis of seismic isolated LRB bridges considering earthquake effects such as PGA, PGV, SA, SV, and SI is also performed to assure the earthquake resisting capability of the structures. An practical way for constructing the representative fragility curves is also recommended combining fragility curves of structures.

Catastrophe risk models require the damage functions of each vulnerable item in inventory to estimate volcanic ash losses. The damage functions are used to represent the relation between damage factors and damage and also widely used in engineering and natural hazard studies to calculate the vulnerability. In most cases, damage functions are constructed as fragility or vulnerability curves, and researchers are confused by the similarities between them particularly when they perform interdisciplinary research. Thus, we aim to explain the similarities and differences between fragility and vulnerability curves and their relationship by providing case studies to construct them. In addition, we suggest a simple method to construct the damage functions between damage ratio and volcanic ash thickness using limited damage data. This study comes from the fact that damage functions are generally constructed using damage data. However, there is no available volcanic ash damage data in Korea, and not even enough volcanic disaster data to construct damage functions in the world, compared to other hazards. Using the method suggested in the study and the limited damage data from Japan and New Zealand, we construct Weibull-type functions or linear functions dependent of available data to calculate volcanic ash loss estimation, which we think need to be corrected to make it more suitable for inventory characteristics and environmental conditions in Korea.
