The completion of the Bakun Diversion Tunnel is subsequently to the Main Dam construction. Therefore, the completion date is very important for the Bakun Hydroelectric Project. Generally, the tunnel lining work as a finishing phase of the tunnelling project occupies a important portion as well as an excavation and a support work of the tunnels in respect to the construction cost and period. Internal section of Bakun Diversion Tunnel is designed circular shape to reduce the roughness of the water flow with 12 meters in diameter of total length 4314.6 meters of 3 tunnels. The lining thickness is varied between 500 mm and 700 mm depending on the structural condition. From the original Tender design of the Bakun tunnels, the required quantity of steel bars was 5,985 ton designed by Reinforced Concrete (RC) through the entire tunnel linings. During the detail design stage by the consideration of the rock conditions and various load conditions, we could suggest five kinds of RC lining type including plain concrete lining type. Through the detail design modification, we could reduce the required amount of steel bars to 2,178 ton, as a half of original Bill of Quantity. Finally, this design modification give us the time and cost saving effect to catch up the construction progress in time.

The Bakun hydroelectric project includes the construction of a hydroelectric power plant with an installed capacity of 2,520MW and a power transmission system connecting to the existing transmission networks in Sarawak and Western Malaysia, The power station will consist of a 210m height concrete faced rockfill dam. During the construction of the dam and the power facilities the Balui river has to be diverted by three diversion tunnels with a length of some 1,400m each. The inner diameter of the tunnels is 12m and the tunnel width is 16m at the portal area. This paper describes the stability analysis and design methods for the open cut rock slopes in the inlet and outlet area of the diversion tunnels. The geotechnical parameters employed in stability calculations were given as a function of four. defined Rock Mass Types (RMT) which were based on RMR system from Bieniawski. The stability calculations procedure of the rock slopes are divided into two stages. In the first stage, it is calculated for the stability of each 'global' slope without any rock support and shotcrete system. In the second stage, it is calculated for each 'local'slope stability with berms and supported with rock bolts and shotcrete. The monitoring instrumentation was performed continuously and some of the design modification was carried out in order to increase the safety of failed area based on the unforeseen geological risks during the open cut excavation.

The variation of inflow at stream and hydrologic performance for small scale hydro power(SSHP) plants due to climate change have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam for 32 years were analyzed. The existing SSHP plant located in upstream of Andong dam was selected and analyzed hydrologic performance characteristics. The predicted results from the developed models show that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam and the existing SSHP plant. Inflow and ideal hydro power potential had increased greatly in recent years, however, these did not lead annual energy production increment of existing SSHP plant. As a results, it was found that the models represented in this study can be used to predict the primary design specifications and inflow of SSHP plants effectively.

Cofferdam is a temporary levee or dam structure built by using sheet pile or earth materials to prevent water infiltration during construction work of bridge, dam, harbour dock, or hydraulic structures in the river. In this regard, it is required to secure cutoff ability for dry work and workability for rapid installation and removal of the temporary dam or levee structures. In this paper, case studies for design and construction of cofferdam were performed, and water diversion method was briefed with some examples of cofferdam type as well. For the case study details of design and construction were reviewed based on cofferdams under construction related to 16 submerged weirs of "The 4-river restoration project" and dam type cofferdam respectively. From the review, it was known that the method for changing the water flow is selected based on the data from geological and geo-hydraulic site investigation in order to mitigate environmental effects by making sure if the design cross-sectional area of flow and maximum working days are sufficiently guaranteed. Finally, the primary findings and main conclusion derived are summarized that determination of applicable type of cofferdam should be checked by case study and meet design requirements such as water inflow control, constructability.

Nowadays, using math logic in great civil projects is considered by the clients to achieve the goals of project including quality optimization, costs, avoiding individual, emotional and political decision making, long-term and short-term goals and they are the main requirements of each project and should be considered by the decision makers to avoid the illogical decision making applied on the majority of civil projects and this imposes great financial and spiritual costs on our country. The present study attempts to present one of the civil projects (Ghasre Shirin storage dam) whose client was not ministry of energy for the first time and the short-term and long-term goals of the private sector were applied based on the triangle of quality, cost and time. Also, the math logic and model (multi-criteria decision making method and decision making matrix) is used in one of the most important sections of project, sealing element, policies and new materials (Geosynthetics) are considered and this leads to suitable decision making in this regard. It is worth to mention that this method is used for other sections of a dam including body, water diversion system, diaphragm and other sectors or in other civil projects of building, road construction, etc.

The object of this study is the safety insurance of the dam to provide for the extraordinary flood. The safety insurance of the reservoir was taken by the preparatory discharge using the temporary division tunnel used during the reservoir construction. In this study, the Sungju reservoir was simulated. The existing discharge facilities of the intake tower of the Sungju reservoir could nat have influence on the flood control. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin preparatory discharge for 48 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel that have discharge of an 20-years frequency, the water level was lowered about 20 cm. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin the continuous discharge after the preparatory discharge, the water level was lowered over 1m but the downstream at risk was caused by the resulted. If it is possible to operate to begin the preparatory discharge of the reservoir for 24 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel, that will improve the flood control faculty of the reservoir without other hydraulic structure and safety of the Sungju reservoir will be higher.

본 연구에서는 최근 기후변화에 따른 가뭄으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 충청남도 서부권의 물 부족을 해결하기 위하여 금강 본류로부터 보령댐으로 일정 유량을 도수(diversion)하는 계획이 금강 본류에 미치는 수리적 영향을 검토하였으며 특히 금강 본류의 농공용수 취수에 제한을 초래할 수 도 있는 수위에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 공간적 범위는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 하류 외해 방향으로 약 9km 지점에 위치한 금강 하구로부터 상류 방향으로는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 약 76km 지점에 위치한 공주시 반포면 검상동의 검상천 합류지점까지 총 85km에 이르는 구간에 대한 1차원 수리 모형을 구축하였으며, 시간적 범위는 보령댐으로의 도수가 갈수기에 이루어지는 것으로 가정하여 2015년 2월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 진두수위표의 시간별 유량과 8개 지천의 유입 유량, 장항검조소의 시간별 조위, 농공용수 취수시설 취수량 및 회귀수, 금강 배수갑문 운영 등을 고려하여 모형의 보정을 실시하였고, 유황분석에 따른 2016년 갈수기 예측 유량을 추정하여 보령댐으로의 도수에 따라 금강 본류 내 주요 구간의 수위에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였으며, 서해안 조위에 따른 금강하굿둑 배수갑문의 운영에 직접적인 영향을 받는 배수위 구간임을 감안하여 비정상류 해석(unsteady flow analysis)을 수행하였다. 갈수기 예측 유량 추정 결과 2015년과 같은 가뭄이 지속될 경우, 2016년의 유황은 2015년 대비 21%로 분석되었으며 이는 보령댐 도수 여부에 관계없이 물 부족이 발생할 수 있는 상태인 것으로 분석되었고, 하천유지유량 정도의 유황이 유지되는 상태에서 보령댐으로 도수를 실시할 경우, 도수시 금강호 최저 수위는 각각 EL(+)0.94m와 EL(+)0.72m로 모의되어 농업용수를 비롯한 기존 취수시설 뿐만 아니라 보령댐 도수시설의 운영에도 어려움이 생길 것으로 예상되었다. 2016년 갈수기 동안 과업 대상 구간인 금강 하류부의 유황은 농업용수 취수가 본격화되기 이전인 2월에는 하천유지유량 정도의 유황을 유지하는데 별 어려움이 없지만 3월 이후농업용수 취수가 본격화되면 농업용수 취수시설이 집중된 입포수위표 ~ 금강 하굿둑 사이 구간은 하천유지유량 이하로 유량이 크게 감소할 것으로 예상되었다.

The Imjin and North Han River are sharing watershed between South and North Korea. In Imjin river basin, the April 5th dam and Hwanggang dam which are already constructed or on constrution, causes problems in water supply in the downstrean area. At the same time, in the North Han River basin, the Imnam dam is being operated for diversion to Anbyeon Youngman Hydropower Plant and it gives rise to conflict between South and North by reducing streamflow in the North Han River of South Korean side. Therefore, a cooperative framework needs to be built for settling the pending issues. In this study, based on the theory of conflict resolution in the international shared river basin, the practical alternatives are suggested. These approaches are expected to help in preparing reasonable resolution ahead of seeking political decision. Also, in order to preparing consistent and reasonable river management measures, the South-North shared river management commission was suggested.
