In this study, specific sections vulnerable to debris flow damage were selected, and a complete enumeration survey was performed for the sections with debris flow hazards. Based on this, the characteristics of the sections with debris flow hazards and the current status of actions against debris flow were examined, and an efficient installation plan for a debris flow damage prevention method that is required in the future was suggested. The results indicated that in the Route 56 section where the residential density is relatively higher between the two model survey sections, facilities for debris flow damage reduction were insufficient compared to those in the Route 6 section which is a mountain area. It is thought that several sites require urgent preparation of a facility for debris flow damage reduction. In addition, a numerical analysis showed that for debris barriers installed as a debris flow damage prevention method, distributed installation of a number of small-scale barriers facilities within a valley part was more effective than single installation of a large-scale debris barrier at the lower part of a valley.

This study is an experimental study about a facility for preventing the accumulation of floating debris at a bridge by flooding at a small river. Generally, structures installed at a small river are damaged frequently by floating debris during typhoons or localized rainfall events. On the other hand, there is no method available for preventing such damage. The facilities used in other countries to prevent such damage by the accumulation of floating debris include debris fins, deflectors, and sweeper. Among these facilities, the present study was conducted with a sweeper to investigate the damage-reducing capability through a real-scale accumulation experiment. A sweeper was installed in front of a bridge to bypass floating debris by self-rotation so that the floating debris may not be accumulate at the bridge. A small bridge model was prepared in a real-scale for the real-scale experiment. The accumulation reducing capability was compared through an accumulation experiment before and after the sweeper installation depending on the length of the debris and flow conditions. The result showed that the accumulation rate increased with increasing length of the debris or decreasing flow rate. The installation of a sweeper decreased the debris accumulation rate by a minimum of 55% to a maximum of 88% compared to the case without an installed sweeper. The result of the present study showed that the installation of a sweeper at a small river having a high potential of generating floating debris may help secure the stability of a bridge in the case of floating debris accumulation.

With the increase in frequency of typhoons and heavy rains following the climate change, the scale of damage from the calamities in the mountainous areas has been growing larger and larger, which is different from the past. For the case of Korea where 64% of land is consisted of the mountainous areas, establishment of the check dams has been drastically increased after 2000 in order to reduce the damages from the debris flow. However, due to the lack of data on scale, location and kind of check dams established for reducing the damages in debris flow, the measures to prevent damages based on experience and subjective basis have to be relied on. Under this study, the high-precision DEM data was structured by using the terrestrial LiDAR in the Jecheon area where the debris flow damage occurred in July 2009. And, from the numerical models of the debris flow, Kanako-2D that is available to reflect the erosion and deposition action was applied to install the erosion control facilities (water channel, check dam) and analyzed the effect of reducing the debris flow shown in the downstream.After installing the erosion control facilities, most of debris flow moves along the water channel to reduce the area to expand the debris flow, and after installing the check dam, the flow depth and flux of the debris flow were reduced along with the erosion. However, as a result of analyzing the diffusion area, flow depth, erosion and deposition volume of the debris flow generated from the deposition part after modifying the location of the check dams with the damages occurring on private residences and agricultural land located on the upstream area, the highest reduction effect was shown when the check dam is installed in the maximal discharge points.

우리나라는 기후변화로 인해 태풍과 집중호우에 의한 산지재해 피해가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 산지재해를 저감하기 위해 토석류 수치모의를 하여 피해규모를 예측하거나 저감시설을 설치한다. 토석류 저감시설에는 사방댐, 방호벽, 유도수로 등이 있다. 국내에서는 사방댐을 많이 설치하고 있으나 사방댐을 설치할 시 주변 시설물의 규모와 위치를 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 토석류를 저감하기 위한 시설 중 사방댐의 대안으로 방호벽을 설치하여 저감효과를 분석하였다. 2022년 8월 토석류 피해가 발생한 강원도 횡성군을 대상지역으로 선정하고 수치 지도를 이용하여 DEM자료를 구축하였다. 그리고 토석류 수치모의가 가능한 FLO-2D 모형에 적용하여 유동특성을 분석하였다. 또한 저감효과를 분석하기 위해 방호벽을 창고 주변과 주택 주변에 설치하여 해당 위치에서의 유동특성을 비교·분석하였다. 방호벽을 설치하고 토사가 퇴적되기 시작한 부분을 고려하여 설치한 후 건물 주변에서의 토석류 저감효과를 분석한 결과 창고 주변과 주택 주변에 단일로 설치하여 저감효과가 나타났으나 한계점이 나타났다. 한계점을 보완하고자 방호벽을 이중으로 설치하고 모형을 적용하여 저감효과를 비교·분석하였다.
