  • 최근 한반도는 과거 최대 강우량의 기록을 갱신하는 집중호우가 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 2000년대 들어 기상재해에 대한 피해 규모가 수조원에 달한다. 자연재해를 예방하여 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 미래에 발생 가능성이 있는 재해를 사전에 예측하고, 재난발생 가능성을 감소시키며, 발생한 재난의 피해를 최소화시키기 위한 활동이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2003년도에 발생한 태풍 'Maemi'의 영향으로 부산과 경남지역에 발생 가능한 최대 풍피해의 정도를 예측해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 태풍의 중심기압과 태풍의 이동경로와 대상지역의 거리를 이용하여 3-second gust를 산정하였고, 이를 이용하여 시 군 구 단위의 주택에 대한 최대 풍피해 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 태풍 Meami에 의한 부산 경남지방의 3-second gust를 산정한 결과 풍속이 25m/s 이상의 폭풍영역에 해당되는 지역은 김해시, 강서구, 남해군, 고성군, 창원시, 사상구, 북구, 함안군, 통영시, 하동군, 거제시, 사천시이고, 강풍영역에는 대부분의 지역이 포함되었다. 그 중에서 3-second gust가 가장 높았던 지역은 북구와 사상구였고, 다음으로 강서구 창원시 사천시, 함안군 이였으며, 마산시, 김해시, 거제시 그리고 양산시가 다음으로 높게 나타났다. 고성군은 3-second gust가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 부산과 경남지방의 집 한 채 피해액은 북구와 강서구, 사상구가 가장 높게나왔고, 다음으로 사천시와 창원시 순으로 높게 나타났다. 거창군은 부산 경남지방 중에서 가장 낮은 피해액이 나타났다. 이러한 결과에는 그 지역에서 발생 가능한 3-second gust의 영향이 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 태풍의 특성 자료를 제외한 자료의 경우 국내 자료의 한계로 인해 국외 자료를 이용하거나, 가정을 통해 계산을 진행하였다. 그러나 향후 보다 정확한 최대 풍피해를 평가하기 위해서는 기초자료의 마련이 반드시 이루어져야한다.

  • Recently, the frequency of typhoon and torrential rain due to climate change is increasing. In addition, the upsurge in the complexity of urban sewer network and impervious surfaces area aggravates the inland flooding damage. In response to these worsening situations, the central and local governments are conducting R&D tasks related to predict and mitigate the flood risk. Researches on the analysis of inundation in urban areas have been implemented through various ways, and the common features were to evaluate the accuracy and justification of the model by comparing the model results with the actual inundation data. However, the evaluation procesure using available urban flooding data are not consistent, and if there are no quantitative urban inundation data, verification has to be performed by using press releases, public complaints, or photos of inundation occurring through 'CCTV'. Because theses materials are not quantitative, there is a problem of low reliability. Therefore, this study intends to develop a comparative analysis procedure on the quantitative degree and applicability of the verifiable inundation data, and a systematic framework for the performance assessment of urban flood analysis model was proposed. This would contribute to the standardization of the evaluation and verification procedure for urban flooding modelling.

  • Every year, several typhoons hit the Korean peninsula and cause severe damage. For the prevention and accurate estimation of these damages, real time or almost real time flood information is essential. Because of weather conditions, images taken by optic sensors or LIDAR are sometimes not appropriate for an accurate estimation of water areas during typhoon. In this case SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images which are independent of weather condition can be useful for the estimation of flood areas. To get detailed information about floods from satellite imagery, accurate classification of water areas is the most important step. A commonly- and widely-used classification methods is the ML(Maximum Likelihood) method which assumes that the distribution of brightness values of the images follows a Gaussian distribution. The distribution of brightness values of the SAR image, however, usually does not follow a Gaussian distribution. For this reason, in this study the ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) method independent of the statistical characteristics of images is applied to the SAR imagery. RADARS A TSAR images are primarily used for extraction of water areas, and DEM (Digital Elevation Model) is used as supplementary data to evaluate the ground undulation effect. Water areas are also extracted from KOMPSAT image achieved by optic sensors for comparison purpose. Both ANN and ML methods are applied to flat and mountainous areas to extract water areas. The estimated areas from satellite imagery are compared with those of manually extracted results. As a result, the ANN classifier performs better than the ML method when only the SAR image was used as input data, except for mountainous areas. When DEM was used as supplementary data for classification of SAR images, there was a 5.64% accuracy improvement for mountainous area, and a similar result of 0.24% accuracy improvement for flat areas using artificial neural networks.

  • A good understanding of normal modal variability of civil structures due to varying environmental conditions such as temperature and wind is important for reliable performance of vibration-based damage detection methods. This paper addresses the quantification of wind-induced modal variability of a cable-stayed bridge making use of one-year monitoring data. In order to discriminate the wind-induced modal variability from the temperature-induced modal variability, the one-year monitoring data are divided into two sets: the first set includes the data obtained under weak wind conditions (hourly-average wind speed less than 2 m/s) during all four seasons, and the second set includes the data obtained under both weak and strong (typhoon) wind conditions during the summer only. The measured modal frequencies and temperatures of the bridge obtained from the first set of data are used to formulate temperature-frequency correlation models by means of artificial neural network technique. Before the second set of data is utilized to quantify the wind-induced modal variability, the effect of temperature on the measured modal frequencies is first eliminated by normalizing these modal frequencies to a reference temperature with the use of the temperature-frequency correlation models. Then the wind-induced modal variability is quantitatively evaluated by correlating the normalized modal frequencies for each mode with the wind speed measurement data. It is revealed that in contrast to the dependence of modal frequencies on temperature, there is no explicit correlation between the modal frequencies and wind intensity. For most of the measured modes, the modal frequencies exhibit a slightly increasing trend with the increase of wind speed in statistical sense. The relative variation of the modal frequencies arising from wind effect (with the maximum hourly-average wind speed up to 17.6 m/s) is estimated to range from 1.61% to 7.87% for the measured 8 modes of the bridge, being notably less than the modal variability caused by temperature effect.

  • Recently, the flood damage by the localized heavy rainfall and typhoon have been frequently occurred due to the climate change. Accurate rainfall forecasting and flood runoff estimates are needed to reduce such damages. However, the uncertainties are involved in guage rainfall, radar rainfall, and the estimated runoff hydrograph from rainfall-runoff models. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the uncertainty of rainfall by generating a probabilistic radar rainfall ensemble and confirm the uncertainties of hydrological models through the analysis of the simulated runoffs from the models. The blending technique is used to estimate a single integrated or an optimal runoff hydrograph by the simulated runoffs from multi rainfall-runoff models. The radar ensemble is underestimated due to the influence of rainfall intensity and topography and the uncertainty of the rainfall ensemble is large. From the study, it will be helpful to estimate and predict the accurate runoff to prepare for the disaster caused by heavy rainfall.

  • Recently damage scale by local winds and typhoon has dramatically increased. Korea has the terrain over 70% of the land and the planning of the wind load is necessary to estimate reflecting appropriately the change of the wind-speed according to the characteristic of the terrain and in the Korean Building Code(2009), this is stated and it reflects to the design process. However, in order to estimate the topographic factor of the wind speed considering the topographic characteristics in the structure design actually, it has many difficult points including the local topographic survey, etc. In this paper, the Digital Elevation Model(DEM) is created using TIN interpolation method in the form of the digital map and then the interface was designed and implemented which can automatically estimate the topographic factor of wind speed by using ESRI(R)ArcObjectTM and the Visual Basic programing language. By applying it to the terrain which positioned in the downtown area, the practicality of the topographic factor of wind speed estimation interface was checked.

  • A large scale of riverside rearrangement has been recently done in the major rivers in Korea. So inundation possibility in agricultural area closed by these rivers has been higher than the possibility a few years ago. However, land use in this area has not been adjusted to a change of this situation near the rivers. Therefore, when typhoon or heavy rain is happened on this area, it can cause a large damage in agricultural area. This study analyzed inundation potentiality in agricultural area at Ibang-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Kyeongnam-province, Korea by using the logistic regression model and the piecewise regression model. The first thing we did was to transfer the inundation area per elevation to the accumulated inundation area per elevation. This accumulated inundation area per elevation as an distribution function could be described by the logistic regression model(LRM), and piecewise regression model(PRM) could make it much more accurate to analyze the inundation area per elevation. As a result, the regression models derived from LRM and PRM showed $R^2$ over 0.950. The models derived from LRM and PRM in Ibang-myeon noted that frequently inundated area(FIA) was shown up to 12.12m in elevation, and potentially inundated area(PIA) was shown up to 14.60m in elevation. In FIA, regular agricultural activity would be impossible. And It would be not easy to continue the regular agricultural activity in PIA. So, this land should be rearranged to be used for a buffer zone for ecosystem protection, landscape conservation and things like that in riverside.

  • This paper presents wind pressure distribution on high-rise apartment buildings through wind-tunnel tests. In order to investigate wind-induced interference efforts on building claddings an apartment complex, which was damaged on the claddings during typhoon attack, was exampled and constructed as a scaled model. A series of wind tunnel tests using pressure models were performed in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The test results with and without interfering buildings were compared and discussed. It is observed that the wind pressure on buildings 105 and 106 with surrounding buildings shows highly negative, while the pressure without surrounding buildings were positive. Therefore the wind-induced interference effects should be taken into account in the design of claddings through wind-tunnel tests.

  • Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been recently embraced in long span cable-supported bridges, in which buffeting-induced stress monitoring is one of the tasks to ensure the safety of the bridge under strong winds. In line with this task, this paper presents a SHM-oriented finite element model (FEM) for the Tsing Ma suspension bridge in Hong Kong so that stresses/strains in important bridge components can be directly computed and compared with measured ones. A numerical procedure for buffeting induced stress analysis of the bridge based on the established FEM is then presented. Significant improvements of the present procedure are that the effects of the spatial distribution of both buffeting forces and self-excited forces on the bridge deck structure are taken into account and the local structural behaviour linked to strain/stress, which is prone to cause local damage, are estimated directly. The field measurement data including wind, acceleration and stress recorded by the wind and structural health monitoring system (WASHMS) installed on the bridge during Typhoon York are analyzed and compared with the numerical results. The results show that the proposed procedure has advantages over the typical equivalent beam finite element models.

  • Damage on assets and lives caused by natural disasters can be minimized by the provision of early warning information and preventive activities. In this sense, the importance of a disaster early warning system continues to increase. This study specifies the kinds of early warning systems depending on the type of natural disasters such as typhoon, flood and heavy snow. The mechanism for information transmission and status of early warning operations are analyzed. Through this analysis, the urgent need to establish a national integrated early warning transmission system is emphasized. In addition, this study offers methods to prevent unnecessary overlapping of investments by establishing an organic mechanism among individual early warning systems. Based on the standardization of disaster-related information, this study also provides methods to improve the efficiency of disaster early warning systems by organizing a permanent team for handling the systematic management and operation of the system.
