The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model - combining the flow module of Delft3D with the WAVE solver of XBeach - of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics that can simulate flow, sediment transport, and morphological evolution. Surf-swash zone hydrodynamics were modeled using the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, combined with various turbulence models (${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$, ${\kappa}-L$, ATM and H-LES). Sediment transport and resulting foreshore profile changes were approximated using different sediment transport relations that consider both bed- and suspended-load transport of non-cohesive sediments. The numerical set-up was tested against field data, with good agreement found. Different numerical experiments under a range of bed characteristics and incident wave and tidal conditions were run to test the model's capability to reproduce 3D flow, wave propagation, sediment transport and morphodynamics in the nearshore at the field scale. The results were interpreted according to existing understanding of surf and swash zone processes. Our numerical experiments confirm that the angle between the crest line of the approaching wave and the shoreline defines the direction and strength of the longshore current, while the longshore current velocity varies across the nearshore zone. The model simulates the undertow, hydraulic cell and rip-current patterns generated by radiation stresses and longshore variability in wave heights. Numerical results show that a non-uniform seabed is crucial for generation of rip currents in the nearshore (when bed slope is uniform, rips are not generated). Increasing the wave height increases the peaks of eddy viscosity and TKE (turbulent kinetic energy), while increasing the tidal amplitude reduces these peaks. Wave and tide interaction has most striking effects on the foreshore profile with the formation of the intertidal bar. High values of eddy viscosity, TKE and wave set-up are spread offshore for coarser grain sizes. Beach profile steepness modifies the nearshore circulation pattern, significantly enhancing the vertical component of the flow. The local recirculation within the longshore current in the inshore region causes a transient offshore shift and strengthening of the longshore current. Overall, the analysis shows that, with reasonable hypotheses, it is possible to simulate the nearshore hydrodynamics subjected to oceanic forcing, consistent with existing understanding of this area. Part II of this work presents 3D nearshore morphodynamics induced by the tides and waves.

PHC 말뚝은 압축력 및 휨 모멘트에 대한 저항력이 우수하며, 공장에서의 생산으로 인해 품질 관리가 효율적으로 이루어진다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 다양한 토목 및 건축 현장에서 널리 활용되고 있지만, PHC 말뚝의 설계 과정에서 중요한 요소인 주면 마찰력은 주로 경험식이나 N 값 등의 추정치를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이에 대한 실험적 연구는 상대적으로 부족하며, 환경적 요소 중 하나인 pH 값과 지하수 또는 해수의 영향 역시 간과되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 진동기계 기초의 영향을 받는 PHC 말뚝 모델을 중심으로 다양한 pH 환경(산성, 중성, 염기성) 및 해수의 영향하에 한 달 동안 수침 후, 해당 PHC 말뚝-사질토의 접촉면에 대한 반복 단순 전단시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 교란 상태 개념(Disturbed State Concept)을 적용하여 접촉면의 동적 거동을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 화학적 환경에 따른 동적 전단응력은 중성 > 산성 > 염기성 순으로 감소하였다. 또한, pH 영향을 받은 경우와 해수의 영향을 받은 경우를 비교했을 때, pH 영향을 받은 경우에 전단응력의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다.
