Under the interaction between dam body, dam foundation and external environment, the dam structural behavior presents the time-varying nonlinear characteristics. According to the prototypical observations, the correct identification on above nonlinear characteristics is very important for dam safety control. It is difficult to implement the description, analysis and diagnosis for dam structural behavior by use of any linear method. Based on the rescaled range analysis approach, the algorithm is proposed to identify and extract the fractal feature on observed dam structural behavior. The displacement behavior of one actual dam is taken as an example. The fractal long-range correlation for observed displacement behavior is analyzed and revealed. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method is verified. It is indicated that the mechanism evidence can be provided for the prediction and diagnosis of dam structural behavior by using the fractal identification method. The proposed approach has a high potential for other similar applications.

This paper presents the status of dam construction in Korea, along with a brief assessment of the dam design and construction practice. The assessment is based on publically available design and construction records of the major existing rockfill dams which have been constructed since early 1970's, and focussed in identifying geotechnical characteristics of design and construction parameters of the dams. Though the assessment, two representative dams, having unique geotechnical characteristics, are selected for comprehensive comparison of their geotechnical engineering behavior during construction and operation. The comparison yields very interesting findings on the effects of various design and construction parameters on dam behavior.

Investigation of the stability of arch dam abutments is one of the most important aspects in the analysis of this type of dams. To this end, the Bakhtiari dam, a doubly curved arch dam having six wedges at each of its abutments, is selected. The seismic safety of dam abutments is studied through time history analysis using the design-based earthquake (DBE) and maximum credible earthquake (MCE) hazard levels. Londe limit equilibrium method is used to calculate the stability of wedges in abutments. The thrust forces are obtained using ABAQUS, and stability of wedges is calculated using the code written within MATLAB. Effects of foundation flexibility, grout curtain performance, vertical component of earthquake, nonlinear behavior of materials, and geometrical nonlinearity on the safety factor of the abutments are scrutinized. The results show that the grout curtain performance is the main affecting factor on the stability of the abutments, while nonlinear behavior of the materials is the least affecting factor amongst others. Also, it is resulted that increasing number of the contraction joints can improve the seismic stability of dam. A cap is observed on the number of joints, above which the safety factor does not change incredibly.

In this study, the installation location of accelerometer and accelerograph for dam are investigated in the field to establish of emergency action against dam failure when earthquake occur and to guarantee the results of seismic stability of dams which are analysed with dynamic analysis method during 1999 to 2003 by KOWACO. By a comparative study concerning of domestic and foreign guidelines of seismic strong motion instrumentation for dams, "Guidelines of Seismic Strong-Motion Instrumentation Installation, Operation and Maintenance for Dams" is established to set up the standard of seismic strong-motion instrumentation for dam, are supervised by KOWACO There is some problems in taking a measure of stability of dams when earthquake event occur because the existing seismic strong motion instruments are operated independently. This make difficult to confirm the occurrence of seismic event. For that reason, in this study the plan of unified operation and maintenance system for strong-motion instrument for dams is designed. It will make possible real-time seismic monitoring, data transmission and receiving, giving warning for earthquake, and exchanging data with national seismic network.

In present study, the principal stress condition needed to conduct cubical large-scale triaxial test which can reflect three dimensional stress condition (or plain strain condition) in a dam was investigated by performing model test and numerical analysis and the principal stress ratio varying with the height of CFRD was examined. Also, the principal stress ratio in CFRD body was investigated from the monitoring results of horizontal and vertical earth pressure gages, installed in the center zone and lower part of transition zone of the dam body, respectively, in order to consider the principal stress condition in the large-scale triaxial test to model the behavior of CFRD. The result of the study indicated that the principal stress ratio decreased gradually from the lower to the upper part in the dam body for its center axis and was about 0.5 and 0.2 in the lower and upper part, respectively.

We present a methodology to validate with monitoring data finite element models of existing concrete dams: numerical analyses are performed to assess the structural response under the effects of seasonal loading conditions, represented by hydrostatic pressure on the upstream-downstream dam surfaces and thermal variations as recorded by a thermometers network. We show that the stiffness effect of the rock foundation and the surface degradation of concrete due to aging are crucial aspects to be accounted for a correct interpretation of the real behavior. This work summarizes some general procedures developed by this research group at Politecnico di Milano on traditional static monitoring systems and two significant case studies: a buttress gravity and an arch-gravity dam.

경북 청도군 소재 운문댐의 안전진단을 목적으로 지반조사 및 계측자료의 분석이 수행되었다 특히 운문댐은 1998년에 차례에 걸쳐 댐의 정상부에 함몰현상이 발생되었으며 이러한 함몰현상이 대해 많은 조사가 이루어졌으며 이에 따라 CGS보강공법을 2000년에 시행하였다 댐의 함몰현상의 메카니즘에 대해 많은 의견이 있으나 누수에 의한 내부침식이 가장 유력하다 필댐에 있어서의 과대누수는 댐의 안정성의 평가하는데 가장 중요한 변수로 작용 하므로 토질시험 계측자료 및 시추자료를 통한 댐체의 누수 및 거동분석을 수행하였다 자료들을 종합해 본 결과 부실시공 댐의 응력전이 수압할렬의 가능성 누수 취약대 등과 같은 댐의 거동에 대한 여러 가지 정보를 얻을 수 있었다 또한 토질시험에서 코아재료의 적합성에 문제가 있었음을 발견하였다 댐 제체에서도 연약대가 발견되었 으며 여수로 근접한 부분에서 누수의 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다 거동분석에서는 댐 코아의 수압할렬이나 응력전이에 의한 손상이나 유로의 가능성도 배제할 수 없었다

무선 센서 네트워크 시스템은 종래의 계측기술이 가지는 한계인 집중계측방법이 가지는 단점을 보완하여 시설물 전체의 거동을 확인할 수 있다는 장점으로 구조물의 안전진단 및 계측, 물 관리 시스템 그리고 댐 구조물에 대한 관리시스템에 까지 폭넓게 제안되고 있다. 그러나 계측과 동시에 시설물의 상태평가가 가능한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존의 기술적 단점을 개선하기 위하여 시설물의 거동을 파악함과 동시에 안전 등에 대한 상태평가가 가능하도록 무선 센서 네트워크 시스템을 제안하였다. 저수지 댐 시설에 대한 지반공학적 위험인자를 사전에 평가하고, 시설물의 파괴를 유발하는 인자에 대한 한계값을 설정함으로써 위험인자를 측정함과 동시에 인자별로 한계상태를 즉시 평가할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 저수지댐에 대한 표준단면을 이용하여 침투 및 비탈면 활동에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였고, 응력-간극수압 연동 유한차분 수치해석을 수행하여 저수지 댐 구조물에 대한 한계변위를 설정함으로써 즉시 상태평가가 가능하고 측정값을 이용해 회귀분석 함으로써 한계값에 도달하는 시간을 예측할 수 있음으로써 재난, 재해를 사전에 인지할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다.

In this study we developed a turbidity management system to support the operation for effective turbid water management. The decision-making system includes various models for prediction of turbid water inflow, effective reservoir operation using the selective withdrawal facility, analysis of turbid water discharge in the downstream. The system is supported by the intensive monitoring devices installed in the upstream rivers, reservoirs, and downstream rivers. SWAT and HSPF models were constructed to predict turbid water flows in the Imha and Andong catchments. CE-QUAL-W2 models were constructed for turbid water behavior prediction, and various analyses were conducted to examine the effects of the selective withdrawal operation for efficient high turbid water discharge, turbid water distribution under differing amount and locations of turbid water discharge. A 1-dimensional dynamic water quality model was built using Ko-Riv1 for simulation of turbidity propagation in the downstream of the reservoirs, and 2-dimensional models were developed to investigate the mixing phenomena of two waters discharged from the Andong and Imha reservoirs with different temperature and turbidity conditions during joint dam operation for reducing the impacts of turbid water.

필댐의 안정성 해석에 있어서 누수와 내부침식은 매우 중요한 평가의 한 부분이다 연구대상 지역의 필댐은 내부침식으로 추정되는 댐 상부의 공동발생 및 과대 누수량으로 문제가 발생하여, CGS(compaction grouting system)으로 보강공사를 수행하였으며, 본 보강방법은 주입재료 및 주입압력이 중요한 변수로 작용을 한다. 본 연구에서는 CGS 보강이 필댐의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 CGS보강 전후에 지구물리탐사를 수행하여 해석하였다. 본 조사에 적용된 방법에는 전기비저항탐사, 탄성파 굴절법탐사, GPR탐사, HFMT탐사 등이 적용되었다. 조사결과 CGS 보강으로 댐의 전제척인 거동에 많은 영향을 준 것으로 나타났으며, 주입압력이 과대하여 댐 중심코아에 많은 변위가 발생된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
