기존의 하천개수사업 치수경제성분석에서는 홍수피해경감편익 산정시 계획홍수위 이하의 홍수에 대해서 제방이 완벽히 방어한다는 가정 하에 제방으로 인한 피해경감액을 편익으로 산정하고 있다. 그러나 전통적 빈도해석 방법 및 수리수문 모형에 내재된 매개변수 불확실성으로 인하여 특정 하천구간에서 산정된 계획빈도 이하의 홍수위가 제방고에 해당하는 임계사상을 초과할 수도, 반대로 계획빈도 이상의 홍수위가 임계사상을 초과하지 않을 가능성도 있다. 이러한 불확실성은 수공구조물의 붕괴에 대한 잠재성을 가진 중요한 요인으로도 작용한다. 본 연구는 이러한 잠재적 위험도를 제방 월류위험도로 정의하고 이를 Bayesian MCMC에 의해 산정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법론은 4대강살리기사업 전 후에 대해 적용하였으며, 계획홍수위 저하에 따른 잠재적 홍수위험 감소 효과를 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 월류 위험도는 빈도별 홍수피해액의 피해발생 확률로서도 적용될 수 있으며, 이는 물리적 침수구역 설정의 어려움에 따른 홍수피해액 과다산정 문제 해결의 대안으로서도 의미가 있다.

본 연구에서는 홍수시 제내지 침수로 인한 큰 인명 및 재산 피해의 가장 큰 원인이 되는 제방 붕괴과정을 제방의 침식 및 세굴이론 등 물리적 이론에 근거하여 해석하고 이를 토대로 하천제방 붕괴 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 하천제방 붕괴 모의를 수행하여 제내지의 2차원 침수양상을 분석하고 이를 이용하여 침수위험도를 작성하였다. 작성된 침수위험도는 제내지에 거주하는 주민들이 효율적으로 제방붕괴에 대한 대처할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 제방붕괴로 인한 홍수재해보험 보험요율 산정시 침수위험도에 근거한 합리적 산정이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 모형의 적용 결과 홍수로 인한 제내지 침수위험도 산정을 위해 하천흐름-제방붕괴-제내지 침수해석을 연계하여 일관성 있게 모의할 수 있는 수치모형을 개발하여 실제 유역에 적용한 결과 제내지에서의 침수심, 침수면적, 하천 홍수위, 제방붕괴 폭 등이 합리적으로 계산됨을 알 수 있었다. 시간에 따른 제방 붕괴폭은 기존의 모형에서 사용하고 있는 순간적, 선형적인 붕괴가 아니라 포물선형의 붕괴가 이루어지고 있었으며 시간에 따라 붕괴폭도 합리적으로 계산되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제내지의 침수심을 토대로 제내지 홍수시 침수위험도 산정기법을 개발하여 위험도를 산정한 결과 하천변에 위치한 지역이 위험도가 무조건적으로 높은 것은 아니라 지형에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 나타내었다.

하천제방의 설계 시 침식 및 세굴에 대한 보호를 위해 호안을 설치하도록 하고 있으나 확실한 설계기준이 없는 실정이며 호안이 설치된 이후에도 호안에 대한 관리나 안전성 검사가 수행되지 않고 있다. 홍수로 인해 제방이나 호안의 손실이 발생하면 피해복구를 실시하는 수준에서 하천의 제방관리가 이뤄지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천흐름에 대한 호안의 안전도를 산정하여 도상에 표시해 제방의 유지관리에 활용할 수 있는 세굴안전도맵을 제시하였다. 세굴안전도는 호안의 형식별로 하천흐름에 대한 외력과 호안자체의 저항을 나타내는 내력을 비로 산정하였으며 매우안전, 안전, 보통, 위험, 매우위험의 5단계로 평가하였다. 남강유역을 시범유역으로 하여 남강댐 하류부터 낙동강 합류부까지의 모든 제방에 대해서 안전도를 평가하였다. 우선적으로 현장조사를 통해 제방호안에 대한 설계도서와 현장시공결과를 비교하였으며 호안의 확인이 어렵거나 호안설치가 되지 않는 제방에 대해서는 무호안 또는 식생호안으로 가정하였다. 산정된 하천제방 세굴안전도를 GIS를 활용하여 맵으로 도시한 결과 만곡부 또는 합류부에서의 세굴안전도가 낮게 평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 산정된 하천제방 세굴안전도 맵을 하천관리에 활용한다면 직관적으로 위험제방에 대한 파악이 가능하고 투자우선순위를 결정하는데 기초자료로 활용되어 하천관리 업무의 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Biopolymer based on microbial β-glucan and xanthan gum is effective for vegetation and has a function of enhancing soil strength, which can be used as soil reinforcement and stabilization materials in river embankment. The purpose of this study is to verify the vegetation effect of the surface of levee by biopolymer with seed spraying method. Mixed soils with biopolymer were used to cover the surface of embankments. The strength is higher in biopolymer-treated soil and xanthan gum based biopolymer has advantage for quality control in field scale. In addition, the vegetation of F. arundinacea and L. perenne showed various reactions with types of biopolymers. Biopolymer has a positive effect on the vegetation of them. In contrast, root growth tended to decrease in biopolymer-treated soils. The results indicate that root growth is slow down due to increasing ability to retain water in biopolymer-treated soil. In order to apply biopolymer to river embankment, it is necessary to examine the effects of biopolymers on a wide range of plant species in river embankment.

NNbF is a newly emerging approach to reduce flood risk in coastal and fluvial areas using natural features or engineered nature-based features with the expectation of co-benefits of provisional, regulating, and socio-cultural services provided by the ecosystem. NNbF is not quite different from existing, related terms based on nature, such as NbS, Eco-DRR, NI, GI, EwN, and BwN, for all these terms include expectation of benefits for human societies by directly utilizing or mimicking nature's ecological functions. If we focus on the comprehensiveness of each term's subject and object, we can say that NbS > NNbF > (Eco-DRR, NI/GI). Among the 18 measures introduced in the NNbF International Guideline in the river and floodplain management category, it was found that measures of wash lands and floodplain restoration, including levee setback/removal and side-channel restoration, seemed to be the most applicable to rivers in Korea. These selected measures could be more effective when river managers purchase riparian lands along river courses by relevant laws for river water-quality protection.

Each river in each country has peculiar channel characteristics at every section. Korea consists of mountains at the rate of 70%. Due to this, the sections that display unique channel form are scattered. One of the typical features is the narrow pass of channel section that presents in the process of the generation of alluvial channel and deformation channel. Around as this narrow pass of channel, it often comes to be regular flood disaster section. Regardless of this situation, investigations and plans that reflect channel characteristics at the narrow pass of channel have been wholly wanting until now. In accordance with this, we have investigated and analysed hydraulic significance and channel form of the narrow pass of channel in Seonsan in this study. The study has found real minute classification of sediment phenomenon at river bed of low flow channel on investigation section which is sand-bed river, but it was vaguely difficult to conclude that classification of sediment arises from explicit natural force. We were able to assume that the phenomenon comes from gentle bed slope, supply of river bed materials which is nearly uniformity. However, classification of sediment would come from collecting an aggregate rather than natural force. And we found that compound cross section conversion has been developing dramatically with channel form of movable bed section referring to movement which was active before at drainage district of the narrow pass of channel. With this, we could find the phenomenon that river width of low flow channel diminished largely. This kind of situation implies that it may cause compound section weighting, flood dimension decreasing, revetment at low flow channel or the local scour at bottom of levee when extraordinary flood occurs.

In joint portions of the levee and the barrier, complex 3-dimensional flow was generated and collapse of revetment occurred frequently. For these reasons, it is necessary to install the joint revetment with greater stability as compared with the general revetment at the joint portions. However, design criteria for joint revetment was not presented in River Design Criteria (KWRA, 2009). Therefore it is necessary to research for engineering design of the joint revetment. In this study, hydraulic experiments were performed under various flow conditions in order to realize the collapse conditions of riprap and carried out in 20.0 m straight open channel with one side levee and the width was 4.0 m. The diameter of riprap covered around joint revetment was 0.03 m and the inlet discharges were $0.5{\sim}0.8m^3/s$. The numerical simulations were performed under same conditions with experiment. as results of this numerical simulations, the influence range was confirmed from the distribution of flow characteristics and shear stress. As a result, the riprap diameter of the joint revetment was calculated from 4.1 to 6.9 times greater than that of general revetment. As the inlet discharge was large, the range of vulnerable area was developed long in the downstream direction despite of same withdrawal velocity of riprap. Through this study, the methods of calculating the riprap diameter and influence range were proposed according to hydraulic characteristics of flow around joint revetment. At a later study, if additional experiments about effect of flood plane and various types of barrier is applied, it is expected that rational design method with stability of joint revetment can be proposed.

The past researches on flood inundation simulation mainly focused on development of numerical models based on unstructured mesh networks to improve model performances. However, despite the accurate simulation results, such models are not suitable for real-time flood inundation forecasting due to a huge computational burden in terms of geographic data processing. In addition, even though various types of vector and raster data are available to be compatible with flood inundation models for post-processes such as flood hazard mapping and flood inundation risk analysis, the unstructured mesh-based models are not effective to fully use such information due to data incommensurability. Therefore, this study aims to develop a raster-based two-dimensional inundation model; it guarantees computational efficiency because of direct application of DEM for flood inundation modeling and also has a good compatibility with various types of raster data, compared to a commercial model such as FLUMEN. We applied the model to simulate the BaekSan levee break in the Nam river during a flood period from August 10 to 13, 2002. The simulation results showed a good agreement with the field-surveyed inundation area and were also very similar with results from the FLUMEN. Moreover, the model provided physically-acceptable velocity vectors with respect to inundating and returning flows due to the difference of water level between channel and lowland.

Lately, intensity and frequency of natural disasters such as flood are increasing because of abnormal climate. Casualties and property damages due to large-scale floods such as Typhoon Rusa in 2002 and Typhoon Maemi in 2003 rapidly increased, and these show the limits of the existing disaster prevention measures and flood forecasting systems regarding irregular climate changes. In order to efficiently respond to extraordinary flood, it is important to provide effective countermeasures through an inundation model that can accurately simulate flood inundation patterns. However, the existing flood inundation analysis model has problems such as excessive take of analysis time and accuracy of the analyzed results. Therefore, this study conducted a flood inundation analysis by using the Gerris flow solver that uses quadtree grid, targeting the Baeksan Levee in the Nakdong River Basin that collapsed because of a concentrated torrential rainfall in August, 2002. Through comparisons with the FLUMEN model that uses unstructured grid among the existing flood inundation models and the actual flooded areas, it determined the applicability and efficiency of the quadtree grid-based flood inundation model of the Gerris flow solver.

The 99.1% of small dam and most of the levees in Korea are soil dam which can be constructed with lower cost and less effort compared with ones made of concrete. However, they are so vulnerable to overflow. Sudden collapses of these strucrues lead to increase flow rate rapidly, which may cause catastrophic problems in downstream regions. In this study, the experimental study on the collapse delay effect of riprap that was laid on slope of soil levee was carried out. A prismatic rectangular open channel was used and three different sizes of the riprap were installed on slope of a scaled earth dam. A new formula for the collapse time of the levee with the installation of riprap was presented, using the previous researches and the dimensional analysis. In this process, an unsteady flow condition was considered to derive the deviation time of the riprap. And additional experiments were conducted to understand the effect of reinforcement of riprap, and it was found that the reinforcement of riprap was more effective than twice sizing of intial riprap. If the collapse time is delayed, EAP (Emergency Action Plan) and forecasting can greatly reduce the degree of flood damage. Also, it will be meaningful that the results of this study are used for river design.
