  • This paper presents a theoretical analysis for a velocity profile of fluid-granule mixed flow and a sheet erosion of an embankment having noncohesive materials due to overflow. The velocity profile were obtained using the stress-strain relationships based on a grain-inertia regime and an erosion depth was obtained using dynamic Coulomb criterion. Experiments were performed to compare with theoretical values and fairly good agreements were found. Theoretical results on velocity profiles, which can be applied to any type of velocity profiles in a fluid-granule mixed flow, showed a considerable improvement for the existing theories on a debris flow. for a design purpose, formulas and figure diagrams for obtaining a velocity profile, an erosion depth, an overflow depth and a granular discharge were proposed for given values of a flood discharge, particle properties and embankment scale.

  • An analysis on landslide types and susceptibilities associated with geomorphic characteristics has been conducted with 916 landslide inventories in Yeonchon-Chulwon District, where two day's heavy rainfall was concentrated on July, 1996. The precipitation during the 2 days, which is equivalent to 0.372 of event cofficient, can cause large landslides based on Olivier's equation. Sliding materials are dominantly composed of debris mixed with rock fragments and soil derived from colluvium and residual soils. 66% of the landslides are belong to debris flow md 23% are due to sediments flow, in accordance with the classification of sliding materials. Most of landslides(> 90%) are small and shallow, less than l00m in length and about 1m in depth, and classified as transitional type. Granite is more susceptible as much as 4.7 times than metamorphic rocks and 2.7 times than volcanic rocks, probably due to higher weathering grade of granite. The highest landslide frequency is concentrated on the areas between 200 and 300m in height and on the slopes between $10-20^{\circ}$ in dgree. More than 50% of landslides occurred under these geomorphic conditions. Consequently, colluviums and residual soils distributed on the gentle slopes are most susceptible to the landslides of the area.

  • The main objective of this study is to evaluate the preliminary landslide hazard based on the identification of geomorphological features, which are believed to be critical values in the initial state of landslides. Two methods, SINMAP and Planarity analyses, are used to simulate those characteristics where landslides are actually located. Results showed that both methods well discriminate geomorphic features between stable and unstable domains in the landslide areas. SINMAP analysis which is the consecutive model considering external factors like infiltration identifies the landslide hazard especially for debris flow type landslides better than plararity analysis focusing on a specific area. This analysis combined with other methods dealing with specific characteristics of geomorphological feature, the accurate landslide hazard will be evaluated.

  • This study conducted to develop an assessment method of runout distance of debris flow that is a major type of landslides in Korea. In order to accomplish the objectives, this study performed detailed field survey of runout distance and laboratory soil tests using 24 landslides over three pilot sites. Based on the data of the field survey and the laboratory tests, an assessment method of runout distance was suggested using the artificial neural network. The input data for the analysis of artificial neural network are change rate of slope angle, Permeability coefficient of in-situ soil, dry density, void ratio, volume of debris and the measured runout distance. The analyzed results using the artificial neural network show low error rate of inference distributing lower than $10\%$. Some cases have $5\%$ and $2\%$ of error rates of inferences. The results can be thought as excellent teaming rates. However, it is difficult to be accepted as excellent results if it is considered with the results derived using only 24 landslide data. Therefore, more landslide data should be surveyed and analyzed to increase the confidence in the assessment results.

  • Landslide disasters including debris flows are the one of the most frequent natural disasters in Korea, and losses of lives and property damages due to these catastrophic events have been increased every year. Various mitigation programs and related policies have been conducted in order to respond and prepare landslide disasters. Most landslide reduction programs are, however, focused on recovery actions after the disasters and lead to unrealistic consequences to the affected people and their properties. The main objective of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the landslide hazard based on the identification of geomorphological features, which is for the preparedness of the landslide disasters. Two methodologies, SINMAP and vector dispersion analyses are used to simulate those characteristics where landslides are actually located. Results showed that both methods well discriminate geomorphic features between stable and unstable domains. This proves that geomorphological characteristics well describe a relationship with the existing landslide hazard. SINMAP analysis which is based on the consecutive model considering external factors like infiltration is well identify the landslide hazard especially for debris flow type landslides rather than vector dispersion focusing on a specific area. Combining with other methods focusing specific characteristics of geomorphological feature, accurate landslide hazard assessments are implemented.

  • 토석류는 산지 사면에서 발생하여 지형변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표적인 자연재해 중 하나로 국내에서 발생하는 토석류는 홍수, 태풍 등 타 재해에 비하여 상대적으로 매우 짧은 시간에 발생하며, 사후대응이 어려우므로 사전대비가 필수적이다. 토석류로 인한 피해를 효과적으로 대비하기 위해서는 국내의 지질, 지형 그리고 강우에 따라 발생하는 토석류에 대한 보다 체계적인 정밀현장조사를 통한 자료 구축과 이를 분석한 토석류의 발생원인, 이동경로와 침식 및 퇴적에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 최근의 토석류 연구에서는 침식-퇴적 및 연행작용에 의한 효과를 반영한 수치모의 연구들이 있으나, 모형의 검증을 위한 침식-퇴적 거동에 대한 자료는 현재까지 매우 부족한 실정이다. 토석류 발생에 따른 침식-퇴적 거동특성은 그 자체로도 공학적으로 중요한 요소이며, 수치해석 모의에 필요한 매개변수 추정에도 필요한 항목이다. 토석류 모의의 검증자료로 활용될 수 있는 토석류에 대한 실험적 연구는 토석류의 확산 형태 및 확산 길이에 대한 내용이 대부분으로 흐름수로에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 발생에 따른 흐름부에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 거동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 함수비, 흐름수로 경사, 상부 붕괴토조의 토사깊이, 흐름수로 침식가능 깊이 등 다양한 조건으로 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 상부 토조의 토사 함수비가 30~80% 실험에서는 퇴적 현상이 탁월하였고, 100% 이상인 실험에서는 침식 현상이 확연하게 나타나 토사의 함수비가 높아지면 집중호우 등 선행강우로 인한 산지 지역에서 발생되는 토석류 현상과 유사하고, 함수비가 낮으면 토석류(Debris flow)가 아닌 입상유동(Granular flow)으로 보는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 상부 토조의 함수비를 100% 이상으로 변화하여 침식이 발생한 실험에서 상부 토조의 액화 된 토사는 빠른 속도로 흐름이 진행되면서 함수비와 붕괴 체적이 증가할수록 흐름수로 상류부에 침식이 크게 나타나고, 상류부의 토사를 중류부를 거쳐 하류부까지 연행(Entrainment)하는 것으로 판단된다.

  • The flow is changed by the structure which goes across the river. The structure with debris causes high water level and overflow. The changed flow, which caused by pier and stream characteristics like velocity and slope, was analysed by 2D model. After rainfall, the influences of increased discharge were evaluated. Velocity was simulated in the channel by SMS (Surface water Modeling System) using RMA2, and high velocity values were found in the steep and narrow reach. Highest velocity value around piers was showed in the middle of space between two piers. The increased discharge due to rainfall increases velocity and changes flow contour considerably.

  • In this study the effect of the content of $TiB_2$ on wear properties was investigated. $Cu-TiB_2$ composites have been fabricated by hot extrusion. Sliding wear tests were peformed by a pin-on-disk type wear test machine under dry condition and loads varied with from 20N to 80N at sliding speed 3.5Hz. The test results showed that the wear losses and the friction coefficients decreased with increasing $Cu-TiB_2$ volume fraction and increasing the size of $Cu-TiB_2$ particle. Wear property of $10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$ specimen was excellent all of the wear specimens. It is thought that the increase of plastic flow resistivity due to uniform distribution of $10{\mu}m,\;5 vol\%\; TiB_2$ wear specimen would improve wear property. The worn surface and wear debris were examined by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.

  • In this study, the slope stability analysis and the landslide hazard assessment in tunnel portal slope were carried out. First, we selected highly vulnerable areas to slope failure using the slope stability analysis and analyzed the slope failure scale. According to analyses results, high vulnerable area to slope failure is located at 485~495 m above sea level. The slope is stable in a dry condition, while it becomes unstable in rainfall condition. The analysis results of slope failure scale show that the depth of slope failure is maximum 2.1 m and the length of slope failure is 18.6 m toward the dip direction of slope. Second, we developed a 3-D simulation program to analyze characteristics of runout behavior of debris flow. The developed program was applied to highly vulnerable areas to slope failure. The result of 3-D simulation shows that debris flow moves toward the central part of the valley with the movement direction of landslide from the upper part to the lower part of the slope. 3-D simulation shows that debris flow moves down to the bottom of mountain slope with a speed of 7.74 m/s and may make damage to the tunnel portal directly after 10 seconds from slope failure.

  • This study shows the geomorphological processes of Yuga alluvial fan at Dalseong-gun, Daegu in Korea, based on characteristics of geomorphological surfaces, analysis of geomorphological deposits and OSL age dating. Alluvial fans of this area are classified into three surfaces(YG-F1, YG-F2, YG-F3) and were formed by the depositional processes resulting from the changes in hydraulic geometry of flowing water which was a stream flowing out of mountains debouched on to a plain, not by a sudden decrease in surface gradient of river bed. YG-F3 surface, about 110,000 yr B.P.(MIS 5.4), was formed as Yongri river deposited a lot of debris. This result was due to the process that the deposition took place actively with the upward of base level as the last interglacial period began. Later, the denudation of the river valley and geomorphological surface constantly occurred and the local and seasonal changes were found in precipitation and stream discharge with the beginning of the interstadial of the last glacial stages(MIS 3), leading to YG-F2 formed by debris flow, earth flow, mud flow and stream flow. Then, short-term climate changes and temporal climate events repeatedly caused aggradation and denudation over time and going through these processes, YG-F1 is believed to have been made by earth flow or mudflow during the last glacial maximum(MIS 2).
