The seismic safety of concrete dams is one of the important problems in the engineering due to the vast socio-economic disasters which may be caused by collapse of these infrastructures. The accuracy of the risk evaluation associated with these existing dams as well as the efficient design of future dams is highly dependent on a proper understanding of their behaviour due to earthquakes. This paper develops an anisotropic damage model for arch dam under strong earthquakes. The modified Drucker-Prager criterion is adopted as the failure criteria of the dynamic damage evolution of concrete. Some process fields and other necessary information for the safety evaluation are obtained. The numerical results show that the seismic behaviour of concrete dams can be satisfactorily predicted.

The direct-runoff of South Korea's representative dams (Soyanggang, Chungju, Andong, Daecheong, and Seomjingang) and precipitation were analyzed mainly with the evenly distributed spring rainfall events across the country for the last five years. For precipitation, an increasing was presented during the period 2008-2011, but did not continue to increasing 2012. The average precipitation of the five dams displayed a similar trend. Except for Chungju and Andong Dams, the trend of runoff was similar to the one shown in the precipitation. Despite the precipitation of 2009 increased, the runoff volume decreased for Andong and Chungju Dams. In addition, Chungju Dam remarkably showed a bigger runoff volume compared to other dams. As for the Sumjingang Dam, the runoff volume was the smallest, and the difference is as great as over 15-fold when compared to other runoff values. After the result of analyzing the relation between a single runoff event and synoptic weather patterns, pattern 4 contributed to the greatest impact on this event and weather patterns. The total runoff volume of the five dams for spring rain event for the last five years that exhibited this characteristic was estimated at 5.68 billion tons($10^6m^3$). Lastly, the value of this estimation was assessed as approximately 273.1 billion KRW.

Damages of large embankment dams by recent strong earthquakes in the world highlight the importance of seismic security of dams. Some of recent dam construction projects for water storage and hydropower are located in highly seismic zone, hence the seismic performance evaluation is an important issue. While state-of-the-art numerical analysis technology is generally utilized in practice for seismic performance evaluation of large dams, physical modeling is also carried out where new construction technology is involved or numerical analysis technology cannot simulate the behavior appropriately. Geotechnical centrifuge modeling is widely adopted in earthquake engineering to simulate the seismic behavior of large earth structures, but sometimes it can't be applied for large embankment dams due to various limitations. This study proposes a dynamic centrifuge testing method for large embankment dams and evaluated its applicability. Scaling relations for a case which model scale and g-level are different could be derived considering the stress conditions and predominant period of the structure, which is equivalent to previously suggested scaling relations. The scaling principles and testing method could be verified by modified modeling of models using a model at different acceleration levels. Finally, its applicability was examined by centrifuge tests for an embankment dam in Korea.

최근 지진에 대해서 상대적으로 안전하다고 생각되던 지역 및 나라에서 비교적 큰 규모의 지진이 발생하여 수많은 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시키고 있으며, 국내에서 발생되는 지진의 횟수도 급증하고 있는 것으로 보고되어지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근의 건설공사는 대형 구조물뿐만 아니라 비교적 규모가 작은 저수지 댐까지 체계적인 내진설계를 거쳐 지진에 대하여 안정성을 확보하도록 계획하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 신설되는 주요 저수지 댐에 대하여 지진에 대한 안정성 확보 여부를 확인하고자 내진성능 평가를 수행하였다. 신설되는 저수지 댐에 대하여 단주기파, 장주기파 및 인공지진파로 SHAKE 프로그램을 이용한 지진응답해석을 시행하였으며, 그 결과를 활용해 저수지 댐의 지반 액상화에 대한 안정해석을 시행하였다(액상화 간편예측법). 또한 가능한 실제 지반의 거동과 유사하게 수치해석을 모사하기 위해서 간극수압-지반 상호작용을 고려하는 완전연계해석(Fully Coupled Analysis)을 수행하여 과잉간극수압변화와 지반 동적 변형특성을 검토하였다.

In order to determine the best operating rules for the Nakdong River, three cases were applied to analyze the simulated results of water supply capacity by HEC-ResSim model. This study discussed to present the best operating rules for conjunctive operating of existing the dams and new constructed the weirs through system network. The system network was constructed considering the water supply, the river environment and the operating facility. The water supply capacities are separately evaluated for each case applying the best rules. It is case1 that the dams are operated individually, case2 that the dams are operated in conjunction with the others dams, and case3 that dams and weirs are operated in conjunction with the others dams-weirs. Comparing the cases, case 3 has shown the best water supply capacity of the Nakdong River.

Estuarine dams are dams constructed in estuaries for reasons such as securing freshwater resources, controlling water levels, and hydroelectric power generation. These estuarine dams alter the flow of freshwater to the coastal ocean and the tidal properties of the estuaries which has implications for the estuaries' circulation and sediment transport. A previous study has analyzed the effect of estuarine dams on 1D (along-channel) circulation and sediment transport. However, the effect of estuarine dams on the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel circulation and sediment transport has not been studied and is not known. In this study, a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment dynamic numerical model (COAWST) was used to analyze the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel flow and sediment transport in estuaries with estuarine dams. The estuarine dam was found to change the 3D structure of circulation and sediment transport, and the result was found to depend on the estuarine type (i.e., strongly stratified (SS) or well-mixed (WM) estuary). The SS estuary had inflow in the channel and outflow over the shoals, consistent with estuarine circulation. Longer discharge interval reduced the estuarine circulation. The WM estuary had inflow over the shoals and outflow in the channel, consistent with tide-induced circulation. As the estuarine dam was located nearer to the estuary mouth, the tide-induced circulation was reduced and replaced with estuarine circulation. The lateral circualtion was the greatest in the tide-dominated estuaries. It was reduced and changed direction due to differential advection change as the dam was located nearer the mouth. Overall, the WM estuary transverse flow structure changed the most. Lateral sediment flux was important in all estuaries, particularly for transporting sediments to the tidal flats.

This study aims to present a method to evaluate the relative risk of failure due to liquefaction of domestic small to medium-sized earthfill dams with a height of less than 15 m, which has little information on geotechnical properties. Based on the results of previous researches, a series of methods and procedures for estimating the probability of dam failure due to liquefaction, which calculates the probability of liquefaction occurrence of the dam body, the amount of settlement at the dam crest according to the estimation of the residual strength of the dam after liquefaction, the overtopping depth determined from the amount of settlement at the dam crest, and the probability of failure of the dam due to overtopping was explicitly presented. To this end, representative properties essential for estimating the probability of failure due to the liquefaction of small to medium-sized earthfill dams were presented. Since it is almost impossible to directly determine these representative properties for each of the target dams because it is almost impossible to obtain geotechnical property information, they were estimated and determined from the results of field and laboratory tests conducted on existing small to medium-sized earthfill dams in previous researches. The method and procedure presented in this study were applied to 12 earthfill dams on a trial basis, and the liquefaction failure probability was calculated. The analysis of the calculation results confirmed that the representative properties were reasonable and that the overall evaluation procedure and method were effective.

본 연구는 홍수 유출자료의 공간확장에 대한 중간 시설물 (e.g. 댐)의 영향 연구의 연장으로, 공간확장된 시간당 홍수 유출자료를 활용해 댐의 홍수조절 특성과 댐의 홍수저감률 변화를 공간적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 횡성댐과 충주댐의 직접적인 영향을 받는 남한강 본류를 연구중심지역으로 선정하였다. 댐의 홍수저감률에 대한 댐 자체 분석에 의하면 홍수사상 크기가 커질수록 댐의 홍수저감률이 작아지는 것을 횡성댐과 충주댐 모두 보였다. 두 댐의 영향을 받는 여주 수위관측소에서 유역면적의 비와 홍수저감률과의 관계는 댐이 포함하는 유역이 커질수록 홍수저감률이 커지는 특성이 있으며 선정된 수위관측소에서의 평균 홍수저감률은 유역면적비에 비해 작게 나타났다. 일예로, 첨두홍수량(peak discharge)을 기준으로, 횡성댐과 충주댐의 유역면적비가 0.02와 0.6인데 평균 홍수저감률이 0.01와 0.51로 나타났다. 댐에서 떨어진 거리의 수위관측소에서도 홍수의 크기에 따른 홍수저감률은 댐 자체의 홍수저감 특성과 동일하게 작용하였다. 댐의 홍수저감률에 대한 공간적 영향범위를 세 곳의 수위관측소(강천, 여주, 양평)를 기준으로 분석하였다. 이 과정을 통해 댐을 포함하는 유역면적의 7배에 해당하는 유역면적에서는 홍수저감률이 약 0.1이하로 떨어졌고, 최저 0.02까지 떨어지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

최근 국내에서는 기후변화로 인해 수자원의 안정적인 확보가 위협받고 있으며, 그 대안으로 기존 수공시설물을 활용한 추가 수자원 확보를 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 이를 위한 댐 시설물의 재평가 및 연계운영을 통한 용수공급능력 확보는 대부분 다목적댐 및 용수공급댐을 중심으로 검토되어 발전용댐을 대상으로 한 분석 연구는 상대적으로 미흡하다. 특히 발전용댐의 특성을 고려한 정확한 용수공급능력 산정 기법이 요구되고 있으나, 그에 앞서 수력발전에 목적을 둔 발전용댐의 저류특성을 먼저 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전용댐의 저류용량, 저류활동빈도, 용수공급기여도 등의 저류특성을 고려하여 발전용댐의 유형을 구분하는 방안과 판단 기준을 제안하고, 북한강수계 발전용댐을 대상으로 그 적용 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과는 발전용댐의 정확한 저류특성 파악과 함께, 향후 발전용댐 특성에 적합한 용수공급능력 평가 체계 및 운영방안 마련에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
