Climate change affects the safety of river revetments, especially those associated with external flooding. Research on slope reinforcement has been actively conducted to enhance revetment safety. Recently, technologies for producing embankment blocks using recycled materials have been developed. However, it is essential to analyze the impact of block shapes on the flow characteristics of exclusion zones for revetment safety. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of revetment block shapes on the hydraulic characteristics of revetment surfaces through 3D numerical simulations. Three block shapes were proposed, and numerical analyses were performed by installing the blocks in an idealized river channel. FLOW-3D was used for the 3D numerical simulations, and the variations in maximum flow velocity, bed velocity beneath the revetment, and maximum shear stress were analyzed based on the shapes of the revetment blocks. The results indicate that for irregularly sized and spaced revetment blocks, such as the natural stone-type vegetation block (Block A), when connected to the revetment in an irregular manner, the changes in flow velocity in the revetment installation zone are more significant than those for Blocks B and C. It is anticipated that considering the topographical characteristics of rivers in the future will enable the design of revetment blocks with practical applicability in the field.

This study was performed to evaluate the environmental qualities of the revetment construction methods and the river-facility materials using Life-Cycle-Assessment(LCA) for the nature-friendly design of close-to-nature river, The investigation results on the environmental qualities of energy and materials used to the close-to-nature river plan showed that the environmental impacts per unit weight increased in the order of gasoline > diesel > cement > wood. The environmental impacts per unit area of revetment construction method exhibited that the environmental loadings increased in the order of gabion > revetment > cribwork. In addition, it was observed that the environmental impact was reduced by improving the materials of zinc-galvanized wire. The model basin investigated in this study was the $0.3km^2$ area of river improvement works in Kyung stream, which is a tributary to the Seomjin river and the second regional stream. The research was conducted based on the 30years by life expectancy of artificial facilities. For the comparisons of revetment techniques with respect to the environmental qualities, the method resulted in the highest environmental loadings. The method using ready-mixed concrete ranked second in the environmental loadings of revetment techniques. The present results of this study are expected to play a beneficial role in the nature-friendly design of close-to-nature river by quantitatively identifying the environmental quality of total procedures (i.e., combination of techniques, selection of river-facility materials, maintenance of river-facility) applied to close-to-nature river plan.

The revetment is a installed structure on the slope of river bank to protect against flowing. Through the design standards of domestic and overseas, the maximum tractive force is calculated and applied to the average concept on the slope of river bank. In the case of calculating the method of permissible tractive force on the slope of river bank, there is a need to consider soil sliding. In this study, suggested the tractive force formulae by section of adhesion that have 0 < ${\Phi}$ < $90^{\circ}$ slope of river bank and installed an open channel of length of 20 m and 2 m wide for calculating permissible tractive force and hydraulic model experimented with changing discharge. According to the results, the calculated permissible tractive force of section on the slope is the largest due to the significant effects of surface roughness of different revetment materials. In addition, the permissible tractive force increased in the presence of vegetation but has no the effect by vegetation density.

In this study, a two-dimensional hydraulic model test was conducted to examine the hydraulic phenomena that occur around the seawall when wave and wind coexist. Based on recent seawall repair and reinforcement examples, the experimental section was constructed under the condition of installing wave dissipation blocks on the safety surface of four different representative seawalls. Water level fluctuation, reflection, overtopping and wave pressure characteristics according to external force change were reviewed. It was confirmed that the top concrete shape of the seawall is the most important factor of the hydraulic characteristics that appear in front of the seawall, and the tendency is more pronounced when wind acts. Even in the case of vertical type seawall, when wind of 3 m/s~5 m/s occurs, the amount of overtopping increases to about 5%~12%. In the case of wave pressure, it was confirmed from the experimental results that the value increased from about 1.5 to 2.2 times in front of the top of concrete block. In addition, it was confirmed that when the shape of the seawall was different, the range of change in the hydraulic characteristics appeared larger. Therefore, when designing a seawall of a new shape, a more detailed review of the hydraulic characteristics should be accompanied based on these experimental results.

최근 진행되고 있는 자연형 하천 조성사업과 관련하여 하천 복원 계획 및 실무에 있어 우선적으로 고려되어야 할 사항은 여러 가지가 있지만, 그 중에서 유역의 복합적인 요인(기후, 지형특성, 수리 수문특성, 식생특성, 유사 특성 등)들에 의하여 영향을 받게 되는 하천의 지형형태학적 측면의 경우에는, 안정 하도 형성에 직접적인 영향을 미치게 되므로 계획의 예비조사 단계서부터 충분한 검토가 이루어져야 함에도 불구하고, 국내에서는 하천 지형형태학적인 측면을 고려한 하천 복원의 연구는 아주 미미한 것이 사실이다. 자연하천 조성에 있어서 획일적으로 직선화된 하천보다 사행화를 유도함으로써 얻어지는 장점들이 더 많지만, 하천설계기준 등에서 제시하고 있는 사행화에 대한 정확한 지침이 부재하여 설계자의 판단에 의하여 사행화를 유도하는 경우가 대부분이다. 사행현상은 유심의 변화가 이루어지기 때문에 전단면에 걸친 수심의 유지가 어렵고, 취수구의 기능저하, 제방의 파괴, 국소세굴에 따른 하천재해 등의 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 자연 상태의 하천형상은 대부분 호우로 인한 홍수로 인하여 자연스럽게 만들어지게 되며, 대부분 사행하천의 형태를 띠게 된다. 자연적으로 형성된 사행하천은 하천 정비시 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 직선화로 계획하는 경우가 많으며, 하천 주변 지형과 토지이용 등의 제약 조건 등으로 인하여 만곡구간을 그대로 두고 하천설계를 계획하는 경우도 있다. 그러나 경제적인 측면만을 고려하여 하천을 직선화하는 것은 상류부 홍수를 하류부로 전가시켜 하류 홍수피해를 가중시키는 결과를 초래하므로 바람직하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 직선화된 수로에서는 하천의 생태계가 제대로 이루어지지 않으므로 하천은 만곡구간을 갖는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천 조성시 하천의 사행화를 유도할 수 있는 방안으로 호안 공법의 적용을 통한 사행화 유도 방법을 제안하였으며, 길이 20m, 폭 2m, 높이 1m의 크기를 갖는 개수로 장치를 이용하여 수리모형실험을 실시하였고, 이동상 실험을 통하여 호안 공법의 배열에 따른 사행화 영향 정도를 분석하였다. 또한, 소프트 백과 같은 유연한 소재뿐만 아니라 돌이나 돌망태와 같은 강성 소재에 대한 사행화 영향을 검토함으로써 다양한 호안기법을 통한 영향범위를 제시하였다.

The bank revetment work which is conducted on the slope of river bank to protect against flowing water as a geotechnical structure has been applied as an average value of critical tractive force based on domestic and international standard design. Currently, an appropriate evaluation is needed for the hydraulic stability and geotechnical behavior analysis of bank revetments because of the effects of climate change and ambiguous design criterion. This study has compared the critical tractive forces of soil improvement material and conventional materials used for the bank revetment work. Through various experiments, the shear strength of mixtures with soil improvement material was investigated by curing time and mixture ratio. It was found that the critical tractive force of the mixture obtained from a scour test is suitable to the reinforcement of the slope of river bank which has problems such as seepage erosion and scour.

Recently, existing river improvement methods for flood control purpose have changed into nature friendly river improvement methods and the efforts to improve the river environment including river restoration have been made, and close-to-nature river improvement and nature friendly river restoration are actively conducted all over the country. In the present situation where various revetment methods are used after the introduction of the concept of close-to-nature river improvement, the environmental characteristics of rivers need to be considered to apply more suitable revetment methods. Therefore, as a precedent study for the development of revetment evaluation techniques and methods for close-to-nature river improvement, the present study suggested evaluation techniques using detailed survey items through field survey. Evaluation items of hydraulic stability consist of mode of streamline, stream bed gradient, flow velocity and tractive force ratio and those of environmental efficiency consist of revetment of vegetation, state of river water, land use of the terrace land on the river, vegetation and materials of the terrace land on the river. Each item was graded with the point 1 through 5. Hydraulic stability and environmental efficiency was evaluated by the points which were averaged in each items. As the result of the application of the proposed evaluation technique, it was found that a number of existing revetments excessively focus on hydraulic stability with little consideration about environmental term. It is expected that the proposed technique in the present study can be used as a base for providing guidelines to construct the design and construction of revetments in the future.

최근 들어 생활수준의 향상과 친수 환경에 대한 인식이 높아지면서 하천환경의 보전과 개선에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 과거 이수 또는 치수 목저으로 정비되었던 하천을 자연형 하천으로 탈바꿈 시키려는 움직임이 많이 일어 나고 있다. 자연형 하천 공법의 연구는 1990년대부터 점차 이루어 지고 있으나, 호안의 식생 공법 연구 및 수리 실험을 이루어 지지 않는 실정이다. 이제 본 연구에서는 자연형 하천 정비의 대표적인 방법인 호안 사면 처리 공법 중 지오셀 식생 매트에 대한 수리모형 실험을 실시하였다. 고정상 실험을 통하여 활착된 지오셀 식생 매트가 허용할 수 있는 유속과 수위를 정하는데 목적을 두었고, 상사법칙 이론을 도입하여 수행된 실험결과를 정리 분석하였다. 분석된 실험치를 왜곡모형에 적용하여 실제 규모로 환산한 결과 현재 설계시 허용되는 유속에도 지오셀 식생 매트의 안정성이 확보되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 호안의 지오셀 식생매트의 적용이 가능 할 것으로 보이나, 제한적인 실험결과에 의해 왜곡모형을 이용하여 현장조건을 추정한 것이므로 적용 및 해석에 있어서는 실제 설치되는 하천의 복잡한 수리 수문학적인 변수가 충분히 고려되어야 할 것이다.
