Typhoon Rusa in 2002 was recorded as causing the biggest damage due to flood in our country. With the enormous damage to the land, the flood was totally discharged to the open sea. As a result, in the coastal area, the discharging of a river had a big influence in comparison to the scale of the coastal area, which suffered damaged due to the discharging of the river. As it cleared the land, the load was totally discharging into the sea, where it caused various problems due to its influence on the ecosystem. These included changes to the environment, like a difference in salinity and the inflow of a land load. Therefore, in this study, a Lagrangian particle tracking model was constructed using a flow model capable of solving the behavior of a river plume, supposing Sachon Bay. It is performed the research able to tendency-like valuation and reappearance about real event. The result was that the model was well approximated the sea area tendency and the river plume of the specific event.

국립공원에 속한 거제시 동부면 학동해수욕장의 자갈해빈에 대한 7개월에 걸친 모니터링 결과 자갈해빈은 월별로 주기적인 변화를 보였으며, 특히 대형 태풍의 내습으로 해빈단면 전체에 큰 변화가 나타났다. 연안의 구조물은 침식을 가속화시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이곳 학동에서도 예외는 아니다. 해빈을 관통하는 하천의 벽이나 하상이 콘크리트로 축조되고, 해안단구가 방호벽으로 인해 단절되면서 퇴적물 공급과 제거 간에 불균형이 발생하면서 해안침식이 일어나고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 해안 관광자원의 지속적인 유지를 위해서는 다양한 요인에 대한 장기적인 모니터링을 통해 해안보호대책을 수립해야 될 것으로 사료된다.

A Jumper wire is currently used to connect each fixed power line on both sides of dead end tower for overhead transmission line, but in case of a jumper wire swing under circumstances of typhoon, etc. and the air clearance is deficient then a flashover fault may Happen. Now the angle tower has the jumper support string to prevent a swing of jumper wire and to secure the air clearance between jumper wire and tower main body, but the flashover fault by swing of jumper wire was happened yl times across all over the country, because of the typhoon 'Rusa' in year 2002 and 'Maemi' in year 2003. This paper presents the design and development of 'Counter Weight' which enables to keep the swing angle of jumper wire under 40 degree in design condition to prevent a flashover fault by swing of jumper wire by a high wind pressure load in case of typhoon and have completed a mechanical and electrical characteristic test.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between the distribution chart and input data of the predicted 3-second gust and damage cost, by using the forecast field and analysis field of Regional Data Assimilation Prediction System (RDAPS) as initial input data of Korea risk assessment model (RAM) developed in the preceding study. In this study the cases of typhoon Rusa which caused occurred great damage to the Korean peninsula was analyzed to assess the suitability of initial input data. As a result, this study has found out that the distribution chart from the forecast field and analysis field predicted from the point where the effect due to the typhoon began had similarity in both 3-second gust and damage cost with the course of time. As a result of examining the correlation, the 3-second gust had over 0.8, and it means that the forecast field and analysis field show similar results. This study has shown that utilizing the forecast field as initial input data of Korea RAM could suit the purpose of pre-disaster prevention.

During the period of every summer to early autumn seasons, ships have been wrecked or grounded from effect of a typhoon in the waters around Korean Peninsular. Typhoon Rusa killed more than 100 people in September 2002. Super Typhoon Maemi passed southeast of South Korea in September 12-13, 2003, with gale winds blowing at a record 60 m/s and caused much ship groundings, collisions and sinkings over 3000 in dockyards, harbors and places of refuge. These are things that could have been prevented had there merely been prior warning. The aim of this study is to examine what effect these typhoons had on occurrence characteristics of the maritime accidents in South Korea. In this work, records of marine accidents caused by a typhoon are investigated for the period from 1962 to 2002. The distribution is also compared with the trajectories of typhoons, passed during the 1990-2003. It is shown that attack frequency of typhoon and number of marine accidents is the highest in August. We use the track data of Maemi such as central pressure, maximum sustained wind speed and area of each 15m/s and 25m/s winds as a case study to draw a map as a risk index.

A lot of landslides were occurred in Gangnung, Macheon and Geochang areas by Typhoons such as RUSA(2002) and MEAMI(2003). Soil properties of these areas are investigated regarding geological conditions in this study. The shallow plane failure were occurred in Gangnung and Geochang areas, whereas the deep circle failure were occurred in Macheon area. The matrix in Gangnung and Geochang areas was composed of Granite, and the matrix in Macheon area was composed of Gabbro. The disturbed and undisturbed soils were sampled in these areas. As the results of laboratory tests using sampled soils, the coefficient of permeability in Granite region is lower than that in Gabbro region. In the cases that the silt and clay contents are included less than 4% for the soils of Granite region and less than 7% for the soils of Gabbro region, the coefficients of permeability are rapidly increased for both soils. In addition, the simple equations for predicting the coefficients of permeability are proposed using the effective particle size and the silt and clay contents according to geological condition.

One of the major forces that causes landslide is the amount of underground water resulted from rainfall and shear strength. As a result of close study on the landslide area affected by typoon Rusa it is observed that many landslides took place at the interface of rock and soil. Based on this observation that shear strength at the interface played a great role in landslide of the hilly area, two shear strengths were measured on different places, one at the interface between rocks and soil and the other just on soil. The two values thus derived were compared and used to review the safety factor for the hilly areas already collapsed. Back analysis was also used to calculate the ground water table according to the different rock types at the time when degradation happened.
