The divergence section of a double-deck tunnel can be divided into a 'widening pre-divergence section', a large cross-section with a cap shape and a 'post-divergence section' where the separation between the main and the branch tunnel is made. Since the cross-section of the widening pre-divergence section is considerably larger than that of the post-divergence section, the influence of excavation due to the different sizes and shapes in the cross-section should be considered in the examination of the tunnel stability. In this study, the effect of the preceding excavation, that is the excavation of the widening pre-divergence section, on excavation stability of the post-divergence section was examined by varying the excavation methods and bench lengths through 3D finite element analysis. The results showed that although the effects of the excavation methods and the bench lengths are not significant on the variation of principal stresses, the preceding excavation causes a relatively large variation on the stresses which may have an impact on the stability of the post-divergence section from the comparison of Stress-Strength Ratio (SSR) between the cases with and without the consideration of the preceding excavation effect by 2D finite element analysis.

The purpose of this study is to analyze ventilation design factor for network-type double-deck road tunnel that have been developed actively around the world. A numerical analysis was carried out through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to derive shock loss coefficient that occurs due to the change in cross sectional area at both merging section and diverging section. The model used for the numerical analysis is real-scale model and the reliability of the result is secured by comparing with the coefficient of the previous studies. As a result of this study, shock loss coefficient was calculated depending on the change in cross-sectional area ratio and was higher than the result of previous studies in case of both merging section and diverging section. It is considered that the characteristics of the geometrical structure of network-type double-deck road tunnel have a great impact on shock loss coefficient. Therefore, the result of this study is expected to be helpful for more accurate ventilation design of network-type double-deck road tunnel.

The enlargement and reduction of river channels can not only change the flow of water but also alter sedimentation patterns, thus hindering smooth flood conveyance. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the effects of the sudden enlargement of river channels on changes in the riverbed and river flow. For this purpose, as part of the "Hometown River" Construction Project, this study examined the local river Kyungpo-cheon, which a section of the river channel was widened by at least two- to three-fold, using RMA-2 and SED-2D models to simulate the changes in flow characteristics and riverbed variation due to the widening of the channel. The results of the study indicated that widening the Kyungpo -cheon river channel secured its dimensional stability in comparison to before widening. however, due to a flood frequency of more than once per year, future maintenance and management will be costly and time-consuming.

Shock loss was not applied for the tunnel ventilation of road tunnel in the past. However, pressure losses due to the shock loss can be significant in network double-deck road tunnel in which combining and separating road structures exist. For the optimum ventilation design of network double-deck road tunnel, this study conducted 3D CFD numerical analysis for the shock loss at the combining and separating flows. The CFD model was made with the real-scale model that was the standard section of double-deck road tunnel. The shock loss coefficient of various combining and separating angles and road width was obtained and compared to the existing design values. As a result of the comparison, the shock loss coefficient of the $30^{\circ}$ separating flow model was higher and that of the two-lane combining flow model was lower. Since the combining and separating angles and road width can be important for the design of shock loss estimation, it is considered that this study can provide the accurate design factors for the calculation of ventilation system capacity. In addition, this study conducted 3D CFD analysis in order to calculate the shock loss coefficient of both combining and separating flows at flared intersection, and the result was compared with the design values of ASHRAE. The model that was not widened at the intersection showed three times higher at the most, and the other model that was widened at the intersection resulted two times higher shock loss coefficients.

Tidal amplification by construction of sea-dike and sea-walls had been detected not only near Mokpo North Harbor but also at Chungkye Bay which is connected with Mokpo North Harbor by a narrow channel. This brings about increase of tidal flat area and in particular increase of runup height and inundation area during storms. In this study, a simulation process is composed of wind wave generation model for large area and wave inundation model for small coastal zone. The nonlinear version of mild-slope equation is modified for simulating wind-driven surge and wave inundation at a small area. The models are applied to Chungkye Bay, and possible inundation features at Mokpo North Harbor are investigated.

This case study introduces the construction of large cross section tunnel for underground ventilation system in Sillim-Bongcheon Tunnel Project. In order to grant the safety and efficiency in connecting the ventilation shaft (7.8 m of width, and 6.6 m of height) to a tunnel for axial fan facility (20.8 m of width, and 12.3 m of height), gradual enlargement of tunnel cross section was employed between those and temporary support method was determined based on Q system. In addition, some original designs were revised during construction stage to improve the efficiency of excavation in large cross section tunnel. The advance length was optimized and top heading of the tunnel was excavated without partition in accordance with ground condition and numerical stability analysis results. It is believed that some experiences and considerations in this case study will be useful for the future design and construction in similar large cross section tunnel such as large underground ventilation system or road tunnel with four lanes.

In recent years, the needs for double deck-tunnels have increased in large cities due to the increase in traffic volume and high land compensation costs. In Korea, a network type tunnel which is smaller than general road tunnels and crosses another tunnel underground is planned. In the shield tunnel joints between the existing shield tunnel and the box-type enlargement section, a partial steel-concrete joint is proposed where the bending moment is large instead of the existing full-section steel joint. In order to analysis the enlargement section of the shield tunnel diverged section to reflect the three-dimensional effect, the two-dimensional analysis model is considered to consider the column effect and the stiffness effect of the longitudinal member. A two-dimensional analysis method is proposed to reflect the stiffness of the longitudinal member and the column effect of the longitudinal point by considering the rigidity of the longitudinal member as the elastic spring point of the connecting part in the lateral model. As a result of the analysis of the model using the longitudinal member, it was considered that the structural safety of the partial steel-concrete joint can be secured by reducing the bending moment of the joint and the box member by introducing the longitudinal member having the stiffness equal to or greater than a certain value.

The development of the tidal asymmetries and the effect of an increased discharge on tide propagating into the Han River was studied quantitatively via numerical integration of one-demensional equations. The model results indicated that some tidal components including $, $, $ were actually be amplified over a segment of the river. The computed results on the effects of increased discharges on the tide were in good agreement with theoretical inference(Godin, 1985).

하천은 과거부터 현재까지 인간의 삶에 있어서 중요한 공간이며 환경적, 생태적으로도 중요한 가치를 지니고 있다. 특히, 하천은 물과 흙으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 수생물이 살아갈 수 있는 독특한 생태 서식처 공간을 제공한다. 국내에서는 1980년대 말부터 하천환경의 개선 및 복원에 대해 관심과 인식을 높이고 공감대를 형성하여 훼손된 하천을 원래 모습으로 되돌리는 사업을 수행하였다. 이러한 하천복원사업이 하천에 서식하는 수생물의 어떠한 영향을 주는지 분석하기 위해 최근에는 다양한 물리서식처 분석이 수행되고 이를 통해 각종 복원계획을 수립하고 있다. 하천복원사업을 통한 생태유량 재산정, 보 철거의 영향, 다양한 복원기법을 통한 수생물에 미치는 영향 파악 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 기존 연구들은 하천복원사업으로 인한 수리특성과 수생 서식처의 변화를 살펴보는 간접적인 영향에 대한 내용이었다. 그러나 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 하도의 단면을 재설계하고 다양한 복원기법을 적용하여 그 영향을 파악하는 연구도 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 물길 조성 및 다양한 저수로 조성기법의 적용을 통해 우점종의 서식처에 미치는 영향에 대해 원주천을 대상으로 물리서식처 분석을 수행하였다. 대상구간은 원주천 중 상류에 위치한 900 m 구간으로, 대상 어종은 원주천의 중 상류에 서식하는 우점종인 참갈겨니를 목표로 하였다. 수리분석과 서식처분석은 각각 River2D 모형과 서식처 적합도 모형을 사용하였다. 서식처 적합도 모형에 사용된 서식처 적합도 곡선은 Gosse (1982)의 방법을 이용하여 구축하였으며, 수심, 유속, 기층을 모두 고려하여 물리 서식처 분석을 수행하였다. 저수로 물길 복원 조성을 위하여 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 단면으로의 복원 및 거석, 여울/소 구조, 단면의 확폭을 통해 기존 자연형 하천과는 다른 복원을 조성하였다. 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 물길 복원을 조성한 결과를 이용하여 물리서식처 분석을 수행하였을 때, 기존 자연하천인 현상태 대비 약 37% 가중가용면적이 악화되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 수리학적으로 유리한 저수로 단면의 설계 조건에서 거석, 여울/소 구조 및 단면의 확폭의 복원을 수행하였을 때 서식처가 최소 약 3%에서 최대 21%까지 가중가용면적이 향상되었다.
