Recently, the intensity and frequency of typhoons have been on the increase due to unusual weather phenomena and climate change. In particular, on September 13, 2003, typhoon MAEMI (0314) caused heavy damage in the provinces of Busan and Gyongnam, but also provided an opportunity to perform a variety of studies on storm surge. According to investigation reports on the damage resulting from typhoon MAEMI, the areas where coastal inundation occurred were located in reclaimed land under coastal development. In this study, through an image data analysis of historic and present day typhoons affecting Masan, we found that the inundation damage areas corresponded to reclaimed lands. Therefore, using the area around Busan, including the southeastern coast of Korea where typhoons lead to an increased storm surge risk, we performed a storm surge/inundation simulation, and examined the inundation effect on reclaimed land due to the intensified typhoons predicted for the future by climate change scenarios.

Pipeline transport of dredged soils has been widely used for reclamation. In this case the fluid mixed with soils, so called slurries, has very much different characteristics from pure fluids. As the slurry fluid has a peculiar mode in the viscosity, a proper equation of friction factor has to be used which is pertinent to the characteristics of slurry flow for the estimation of pipeline transport of dredged soils. The slurry fluid has the characteristics of Newtonian fluid or non-Newtonian fluid largely depending on the size of particles. In the present study, new forms of pipe friction factor equations have been suggested for both conditions, and using these forms explicit equations have been developed for the computation of relevant pipe diameter and discharge as well as pumping power.

오늘날 폐기물 매립장의 구조적 안정성문제는 국내.외적으로 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 특히, 사면의 차수체계에서의 안정성에 대한 논란이 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 또한, 우리 나라는 주민들의 NIMBY 현상과 국토의 효율적 활용을 위하여, 폐기물 매립장을 해안매립지나 산간지방에 많이 건설하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 경우 사면구배가 급해지고 토목섬유의 활용이 불가피해져 안정성에 많은 문제점을 내포하게 된다. 이 연구는 폐기물 매립장 사면의 안정성을 해석하기 위하여, 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 이론식 및 사면안정 해석 프로그램을 이용하여 안전을 산정하였다. 이 연구에 사용한 토목섬유 점토차수재(GCLs)의 팽윤도는 침출수와 증류수의 투과수에 대하여 22~25%의 팽윤도를 보였으며, 투수계수는 투과수가 침출수일 경우, 1.47$\times$10-10cm/sec, 증류수일 경우, 8.75$\times$10-11cm/sec의 값을 나타내었다. 원심모형실험 결과, 토목섬유 점토차수재의 포화여부와 지오멤브레인(HDPE)의 표면거칠기에 따라 사면 안전율이 각각 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 표면이 거친 지오멤브레인과 건조한 토목섬유 점토차수재를 사용하였을 때, 파괴가 발생되지 않아 사면안정성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 이론에 의해 도출된 사면의 안전율과 사면안정 해석프로그램에 의한 안전율 계산 시, 전자의 경우가 후자의 경우보다 작게 평가됨을 알 수 있다.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 기상이변현상의 하나로 발생한 제14호 태풍 "매미"는 한반도 남부지방을 통과하면서 강풍과 해일을 동반하여 해안에서는 해일이 발생하여 평균해수면의 상승과 파의 쳐올림(run up)에 의한 월파량(wave overtopping volume)으로 예상치 못한 침수피해가 속출하였다. 태풍으로 인한 주된 피해로써 특히, 침수피해는 이상고조로 인해 평균수위 상승이 만조와 겹침으로써 기존의 호안, 제방 등의 천단고를 넘어서 파의 쳐올림에 의한 월파량으로 호안 배후지의 침수피해가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 월파현상에서 월파량이 축척되면서 배후지에 축척된 수량에 의해 침수피해가 발생되는 근본적인 원인은 파의 쳐올림의 높이에 비해 호안의 제방 높이가 상대적으로 낮다는 데 있다. 우리나라 매립지의 지반고는 과거에 설계 시공한 인근 매립지의 지반고와 동일한 높이로 하고 있는 데 이러한 개념은 인근 지대와 동일조건을 부여하여 배후지에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 장점이 많지만, 이건 설계방범은 해안공학적인 측면이 강조되어 설계되었다기보다 사회 경제적 측면을 강조하여 설계되어 왔기 때문에 이번과 같은 태풍에 대한 방재대책이 될 수 없었던 것이다. 따라서 원만한 방재대책이 수립되기 위해서는 과거의 설계방법을 탈피하여 현지조건을 정확하게 조사한 후 이를 근거로 하는 설계가 요구된다. 본 연구는 해안공학적 측면에 중점을 두고 수행하였다. 첫째로, 태풍 제14호 "매미"의 현황을 파악하여 조석현황과 이상고조, 파고추정의 범위를 결정한다. 또, 부산지방의 피해현장을 조사하여 피해의 유사성을 밝힌다. 둘째로, 송도 매립지 호안 전면에서의 월파현상과 월파량을 검토한다. 셋째로, 대체블록에 대해 간략 계산을 통해 유동성을 검토하였다. 이와 같은 연구과정을 통해 태풍이 내습했을 때 호안 배후지내의 월파량 철상을 2차원 수리모형실험을 통해 재현시켜 검토하고, 월파량을 평가기준으로 축척모형을 해안수리학적인 측면에서 검증하였다. 본 2차원 수리모형실험에서 재현시킨 월파량이 현실적으로 어느 정도의 월파량이 되는지는 계산에 의한 방법으로만 추정할 수 있으며, 여기서는 2차원 수리모형실험을 실시했던 자료를 이용하여 현재까지 알려진 방법으로 몇 가지 경우 즉, 현실적으로 일어날 가능성이 있는 최악의 경우에 대해 계산한 겉과, 동일조건에서 축척이 적을수록 추정 월파량이 많음을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 태풍이 내습하여 현실적으로 발생했던 월파량이 더욱 많았음을 유추할 수 있다. 또한, 태풍과 같은 자연재해, 특히 월파량에 대해 취약한 구조를 가진 호안의 경우 여러 가지 대안 중 인공쇄파대(artifical reef)와 같은 완충지대를 갖는 호안을 축조함으로써 월파량을 감소시키는 대안으로 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구 수행을 통해 태풍 내습시 발생 가능한 자연재해에 대한 사전 방지를 목적으로 태풍피해의 원인을 제시하고 이를 해결하여 현재의 방재대책이 항구적인 방재대책으로 전환될 수 있는 방안 마련의 기초 자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

Recently, there have been various domestic construction activities related to the reclamation of the dredged soils to expand the land use. However, the reclaimed grounds made of the dredged soils cause various problems due to highly compressible and low shear strength nature. Particularly, this nature induces huge problems in case of the harbor facilities and road construction on the reclaimed sites. Furthermore, in the reclamation activities, the marine dredged soils are often used instead of the well sorted sand, which induces problems of compressibilities. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical characteristics of artificial soil mixture of kaolinite representing the marine dredged soils and the pond ash. A large consolidometer is designed and manufactured to produce the artificial soil mixture. To represent various mixing ratio between the fly ash and bottom ash in the pond ash, six samples with the same stress history are made with different mixing ratio among kaolinite, bottom ash and fly ash. Isotropically consolidated and undrained compression tests are performed to investigate the shear characteristics of soil mixtures. Based on the experimental results, as the components of mixed ash increase, the friction angle increase and the cohesion values decrease. Also, the porepressure parameters at failure, Af increase with the mixing components of the pond ash. The portion of bottom ash has more impact on the shear behavior than that of fly ash.

Liquefaction characteristics of the reclaimed marine sand deposits is studied by means of the dynamic response analysis and the cyclic triaxial compression test. 1) From the result of the dynamic response analysis. it was found that the amplification of ground surface maximum acceleration varied with input earthquake motions and soil data, and earthquake coefficients were proposed to be applicable in evaluating liquefaction potential by simplified prediction methods. 2) For upper and soft sand deposits with small N-value, liquefaction strengths estimated by Seed and Idriss's simplified method were lower than those by the cyclic triaxial test while those by Iwasaki & Tatsuoka's or Vs-method were not lower. 3) Simplified methods were inclined to overestimate liquefaction potential in comparison with the dynamic response analysis and the cyclic triaxial compression test Allowable depths of liquefaction(safety factor 1) were estimated to be 7-14m for 0.1 -0.2g of input maximum acceleration.

The objectives of this study are to investigate the groundwater and surface water contamination, to interpret the attenuation mechanism of contaminant transport, and to find the appropriate contamination indicator. at the two big landfill sites : Nanjido Landfill and Hwasung Landfill. Leachate from the Nanjido, th, Hwasung and the Kimpo waste disposal sites is characterized by high temperature (31.7-40.1$^{\circ}C$), high electric conductivity (14,650-32,800 ${\mu}$S/cm), somewhat higher pH(7.58-8.45) and low Eh (-119.4-20.4 mV), and is enriched in both major (Na$^{＋}$, K$^{＋}$, Ca$^{2＋}$, Mg$^{2＋}$, HC $O_3$$^{－}$, Cl$^{－}$) and minor (Mn, Sr$^{2＋}$, Ba$^{2＋}$, Li$^{＋}$, F$^{－}$, Br$^{－}$) ions. Municipal solid waste leachate and industrial waste leachate are effectively discriminated by the content of S $O_4$$^{2－}$, Fe, and heavy metals. The attenuation mechanism of each component was assessed using the chemical analysis. Cl-normalizing process, WATEQ4F simulation, and preceding flownet analysis. Based on the calculation of Contamination Factor, K, Na, Ca, Mg, B, Zn, HC $O_3$, Cl, F, Br and TOC are effective contamination indicators in the Nanjido landfill site, and K, Na, Ca, Mg, B, S $O_4$, HC $O_3$, Cl, F, Br and TOC in the Habsburg landfill site Particularly, TOC is the best contamination indicator in landfill sites influenced by sea water.

In our society, the advanced, advanced, and information industries have continued to grow and now live in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. As the industry develops, the load of the users has also increased so much that it is deepened by the energy shortage phenomenon and the construction of additional energy facilities is required. Therefore, energy plant construction work is being actively carried out in the coastal area. In particular, it is common to build a plant in the ground by filling the coast with soil in other regions, reflecting the fact that Korea is lacking in the country when constructing power plants, gas and petrochemical plants. Current domestic grounding designs are designed or constructed to suit only the use of grounding resistors based on the electrical equipment design technical standards. However, in the case of a plant facility constructed in the untested buried soil, when the lightning current and the abnormal current are inputted, the facility operator or the user due to the elevation of the ground potential is seriously exposed to the risk of electric shock disaster. In this paper, we analyze the ground resistivity of the landfilled soil and use a computer program (CDEGS) based on KS C IEC 61936-1, We analyze the contact voltage and stratification voltage and propose a grounding design optimized for plant installation.

The small-loop electromagnetic (EM) survey is an effective method to delineate contamination areas and pathways of contaminant plumes from landfill. A multi-frequency small-loop EM survey was applied to find them at landfill area, located in delta region, and checked the results with in-situ surveys including 24 trench excavations and 12 drilling boreholes. The correlation between these two results indicates this survey would be suitable to investigate the contamination area. However, it would be difficult to analyze low resistivity less than 10 ohm-m below 10 m depth in delta area without drilling survey because of a limitation to expand the penetration depth lower than 10 m depth due to the separation of 1.66 m between the two coils of GEM-2.

Recently, domestic waste landfills are constructed sometimes on seashore area to provide large landfill area. In order to strengthen the foundation of landfills and to prevent the infiltration of leachate through the bottom, many cases of constructing cement hardened liners on seashore clays are found. In these cases, it is possible to have cracks in the hardened liners due to settlement with waste load since the stiffness of the hardened liner Is greater than that of clay liners. In this study, the capability of Self-Sealing and Self-Healing (SSSH) liner made with a seashore clay in the metropolitan landfill to prevent the percolation of water and leachate is examined using flexible-wall permeameter test and using uniaxial compression test. Applicability of SSSH to weathered granitic soil is also examined for self-sealing capabilities. The result of Flexible permeameter test for SSSH with the seashore clay showed that permeability obtained was lower than permeability criteria of Korean waste management law. The permeability and strength characteristics of SSSH with granitic soil and bentonite showed better results than with the seashore clay.
