현재 EAP(Emergency Action Plan) 수립 시 가장 많이 사용되는 DAMBRK 모형은 붕괴유출수문곡선 유도 시 댐 재료 특성을 고려하지 않지만, BREACH 모형은 댐 축조재료 특성과 유사이송능력을 고려하여 붕괴유출수문곡선을 산정하기 때문에 물리적으로 BREACH 모형이 흙댐의 붕괴특성을 실제와 더욱 유사하게 추적할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 두 모형을 안동댐(흙댐)에 적용하여 첨두유출량, 첨두유출 발생시간, 붕괴 시작, 붕괴 완료 시간 등의 댐 붕괴시 유출특성을 비교하였다. 적용 결과 BREACH 모형은 붕괴가 매우 서서히 진행되다가 일정수위에 도달하게 되면 급격하게 붕괴유출량의 증가폭이 커지는 데 비하여 DAMBRK 모형은 붕괴 시작과 동시에 붕괴유출량이 급격하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 최대총유출량은 BREACH 모형이 DAMBRK 모형에 비해 약 5% 작게 산정되었지만, 34시간까지의 유출 총량은 DAMBRK 모형에 비하여 BREACH 모형이 약 16% 크게 나타났다. 두 모형의 붕괴유출수문곡선 비교를 통하여 댐 제체의 재료특성이 유출특성에 미치는 영향을 파악할 수 있었지만, 더 정확한 영향성을 파악하기 위하여 지속적인 비교연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Levee-break Analysis model is developed to predict the variation of breach width according to time and to estimate inundation area and depth in protected lowland. This Model calculate flood depth using 4 point implicit finite difference method in river channel and analyze breach flow based on physical theory introducing soil transport equation and erosion process. Breach analysis model and channel flood model are combined into Levee-Break Model and this model is applied to actual levee break case. Then, this model can simulate reasonably many levee-break parameters such as river stage, breach width, breach formation and so on. If the applicability of this model is proved through applications to more various actual levee-break cases, the suggested model is expected to do more accurate flood analyses on levee break site.

A dynamic levee breach model is demonstrated which can be applied to various types of breach such as overtopping, breaking, and piping. Through a hypothetical simulation the sensitivity of brach width and duration in the result are discussed. the breach width has more important effect than the failure duration upon a side discharge owing to levee breach.

Gradual failure of an earth dam is caused by piping or overtopping. In this gradual failure, a breach will form and grow gradually under the erosive action of the waters. The process involved during an earth dam failure is very dynamic and complicated. The physical model of Fread and mathmatical model of Singh and Scarlatos are verified and compared in this study. Fread's model(BREACH) simulates dam failure well when sufficient data are given, and Singh and Scarlatos' model simulates it appoximately with a few simple data.

The mathematical analysis of the outflow hydrograph resulting from earth dam-break was studied. DBFW(Dam Break Flood Wave) model based on the breach mechanism and reservoir storage equation was developed and was applied to the Teton and Buffalo-Creek dam. The modeling results showed that the shape of outflow hydrograph, peak discharge and failure duration time had a good agreement with the data analyzed by NWS. The breach mechanisms which exert influence on the outflow hydrograph were consisted of geomorphological characteristics of the reservoir, breach mode, breach width and failure duration time. The earth dams in Korea were classified into four types by the reservoir geomorphology, and water surface elevation-failure duration time-peak discharge relationships were also presented. The methodological procedure made in this paper will provide a basic contribution to dam-break study in river system.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of levee crest width and the slope steepness on levee break due to overtopping flow. The phenomenon of bank failure can be described in 4 stages. In this study, the magnitudes of breach width, breach depth peak discharge, and scouring shape at the break site were measured, and the result shows that peak discharge will be reduced and breach duration extended by widening the crown width and lessening the levee slope steepness. The breach width was narrower and the breach depth deeper, as the levee crest width become wider or the slope steeper. And, the bed scour depth was deeper and steeper, as the levee crest crest width become narrower or the slope milder.

Numerical modeling is commonly used to reproduce the physical phenomena of dam-break and to compile resulting flood hazard maps. The accuracy of a dam-break model depends on the physical structure that describes the volume of storage, breach formation and progress, input variables, and model parameters. Model input and parameters are subjective in that they are prescribed; hence, caution is needed when interpreting the results. This study focuses on three parameters (breach degree ${\theta}$, shape factor P, and collapse rate k) used when the dam-break model is coupled with FLO-2D (a two-dimensional flood simulation model) to estimate flood coverage and depth etc. The results show that the simulation is sensitive to the shape factor P and the collapse rate k but not to the breach degree ${\theta}$. This study will contribute to reducing flood damage from dam-break disasters in the future.

Levee breaches can result from flooding due to torrential rainfalls, which are linked with recent abnormal climates and the aging of river levees. Breaches have caused enormous property damage and human casualties in lowland areas. Overtopping was found to be the cause for approximately 40% of all cases of breach. In this study, the reasons and mechanisms behind levee breaches were analyzed using hydraulic model testing. The overtopping stability and time delay effect of breaches were assessed for levees made with a new environmentally friendly substance. Image analysis revealed that the total breach time of the levees made with the new substance was about 2.25 times greater than that of an earthen levee. The initial breach rate of a general earthen levee was about 1.43 times higher than that of levees covered with the new substance, and the body collapsed rapidly. The breach mechanisms of levees covered with the new substance were completely different, and it is possible to prevent rapid breaches by mitigation of the breach speed on the slope by resisting overtopping.

The effects of bank crest width, slope steepness, soil properties, and soil compactness on the characteristics of levee breach due to overlfow were investigated through a series of experiments. Generally, the major factors influencing the breach phenomenon are compactness, soil properties. crest width, and slope steepness, in that order. Using proper soil, and ensuring enough compactness in bank construction are very essential for extending breach duration and reducing peak overflow ranges for the values of breach duration, breach width, width-to-depth ratio, and side slope of the breach section, proposed by Singh, MacDonald and Fread based on the field data for earth dam breaks were reasonable. We found that those criteria could also be applied to the phenomenon of levee breaching.

Five dam-break floodwave models are t재 field data sets. The models included FLDWAV, SMPDBK, HEC-1, Tr66, and HEC Dimensionless Graph. The field data sets documented the disasters at Teton dam, and Yeunchun dam. The FLDWAV results are uesd to test the sensitivity of the floodwave to variations in Manning's roughness coefficient, breach size, and bottom slope. The HEC-1 analysis includes testing the sensitivity of the results to model parameters. The TR66 model and FLDWAV, with channel routing by TR66 in both cases. SMPDBK and the Dimensionless Graph procedure are applied without particular difficulties being encountered in both real world cases. It is necessary to analyze numerical limit of existing numerical models and then to apply the relatively accurate numerical model in real basin. It is found that FLDWAV model is superior in numerical accuracy and stability to any other model. This study will contribute to improve defect of numerical models and develop more precise numerical model for a efficient and rapid dam breach flood disaster predict.
