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.

The goal of this study is to present numerical modeling and analytical testing in order to evaluate an innovative space truss typed temporary structure, which is used to maintenance and repair of road tunnels. The present space truss structure has merits to use UL-700 high strength steel tube as members and to carry out maintenance and repair works of road tunnels without blocking cars and transportations. Numerical modeling and analytical testing of the space truss are investigated by using commercial engineering software, i.e., ABAQUS 6.5-1, and then it is verified that the truss structure has both structural safety and effective function for maintenances and repairs of road tunnels.
