Large dams are a part of the infrastructure of any society, and a huge amount of resources are consumed to build them. Among the various types of dams, the optimum design of concrete gravity dams requires special attention because these types of dams require a huge amount of concrete for their construction. On the other hand, concrete gravity dams are among the structures whose design, regarding the acting forces, geometric parameters, and resistance and stability criteria, has some complexities. In the present study, an optimization methodology is proposed based on Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), and a computer program is developed to perform optimization of concrete gravity dams. The optimum results for 45 concrete gravity dams are studied and regression analyses are performed to obtain some explicit formulas for optimization of the gravity dams. The optimization of concrete gravity dams can be provided easily using the developed formulas, without the need to perform any more optimization process.

Large dams are managed with operation standard and flood forecasting systems, while small dams do not have management method generally. Shortage of water resources and natural disasters due to drought and flood raised public concerns for management of small dams. Most of small dams are irrigation dams, which need diversified water uses. However, the lack of systematic management of small dams have caused serious water wastage and increased natural disasters. Storage management method and system were developed to solve these problems in small dams. The system was applied to Seongju dam for effective management. The storage management method was established considering hydrology simulation and statistical analysis using the system. This method can bring additional available water, even in the same conditions of the water demand and the supply conditions of watershed. It can improve the flood control capacity and water utilization efficiency by' the flexible operation of storage space.

Ninety tow percent of over 1,800 gate controlled dams in Korea are classified as small dams. The primary purpose of these small dams is to supply irrigation water. Therefore, while large dams can store as much as 80 percent of precipitation and thus are efficient to control flood, small dams are often lack of flood control function resulting in increased susceptibility drought and flood events. The purpose of this study is to develope a storage management model for irrigation dams occupying the largest portion of small dams. The proposed Storage Management Model (STMM) can be applied to the Seongju dam for efficient management. Besides, the operation standard is capable of analyzing additional available water, considering water demand and supply conditions of watershed realistically. And the model can improve the flood control capacity and water utilization efficiency by the flexible operation of storage space. Consequently, if the small dams are managed by the proposed Storage management model, it is possible to maximize water resources securance and minimize drought and flood damages.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Changes in nutritional status during gestation and lactation have detrimental effects on offspring metabolism. Several animal studies have shown that maternal high-fat diet (HFD) can predispose the offspring to development of obesity and metabolic diseases, however the mechanisms underlying these transgenerational effects are poorly understood. Therefore, we examined the effect of maternal HFD consumption on metabolic phenotype and hepatic expression of involved genes in dams to determine whether any of these parameters were associated with the metabolic outcomes in the offspring. MATERIALS/METHODS: Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD: 10% calories from fat) or a high-fat diet (HFD: 45% calories from fat) for three weeks before mating, and during pregnancy and lactation. Dams and their male offspring were studied at weaning. RESULTS: Dams fed an HFD had significantly higher body and adipose tissue weights and higher serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels than dams fed an LFD. Hepatic lipid levels and mRNA levels of genes involved in lipid metabolism, including $LXR{\alpha}$, SREBP-2, FXR, LDLR, and ABCG8 were significantly changed by maternal HFD intake. Significantly lower total liver DNA and protein contents were observed in dams fed an HFD, implicating the disturbed liver adaptation in the pregnancy-related metabolic demand. HFD feeding also induced significant oxidative stress in serum and liver of dams. Offspring of dams fed an HFD had significantly higher serum cholesterol levels, which were negatively correlated with liver weights of dams and positively correlated with hepatic lipid peroxide levels in dams. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal HFD consumption induced metabolic dysfunction, including altered liver growth and oxidative stress in dams, which may contribute to the disturbed cholesterol homeostasis in the early life of male mice offspring.

The Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake of January 17, 1995 inflicted severe damage in the Hanshin and Awaji areas such as has never been seen in Japan in recent years. The safety inspections of the dams conducted in the area by site offices and dam experts immediately after the earthquake showed that there was no damage affecting the safety of the dams although slight damage was observed in several dams. The investigation also revealed that the peak accelerations at dam sites were much smaller than those at soil sites. The Ministry of construction organized the Committee on Evaluattion of Earthquake Resistance of Dams after the earthquake. The Committee confirmed through dynamic analysis that the dams designed in accordance with the present design criteria in Japan are safe under the magnitude of shaking that occurred close the source fault of the Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake.

The objective of this study is firstly to frame up the seismic safety of concrete gravity dams. It is necessary to analyze seismic response and evaluate seismic performance of concrete gravity dams during earthquake. In this study, seismic damage and dynamic analysis of concrete gravity dams using SAP2000 program are peformed. Additional dynamic water pressure due to earthquake was considered as additional mass for numerical seismic analysis. But, further research will be necessary for the seismic stability of dams.

최근 국내에서는 수량, 수질 등 기후변화로 인한 다양한 수자원 문제에 효율적으로 대응하기 위한 통합물관리 체계가 점차 고도화되고 있으며, 특히 친환경적인 관점에서 이미 개발된 수자원시설물의 탄력적인 활용 방안이 주목받고 있다. 이처럼 용수를 사전에 확보하고, 적시에 공급하기 위한 대표적인 수자원 관리 시설로 다목적댐, 용수전용댐 등이 가장 잘 알려져 있으나, 지난 2021년 '한강수계 발전용댐 다목적 활용 협약'을 기점으로 발전용댐 또한 기존의 수력발전 용도를 넘어 수자원 관리 기여도가 한층 높아지게 되었다. 댐에서는 가뭄 발생시 구체적인 가뭄단계 파악 및 용수공급량 조절을 통해 용수공급을 조절해야 한다. 이미 다목적댐 및 용수전용댐의 경우 가뭄대응을 위한 용수공급 운영기준이 마련되어 적용 중에 있으나, 최근에 다목적 활용이 추진된 발전용댐의 경우 구체적인 관련 기준이 마련되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 다목적댐 및 용수전용댐 운영기준을 참고하여, 발전용댐의 가뭄단계별 기준저수량 산정 방안 및 용수공급 조정 방안 등을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법은 국내 대부분의 발전용댐이 위치한 한강수계 발전용댐을 대상으로 적용하였으며, 지난 2014~2017년 발생한 가뭄사례를 바탕으로 그 적용 효과를 분석한 결과, 대상 발전용댐의 용수공급 안정성이 개선되는 효과를 확인하였다. 수자원의 효율적인 이용을 위한 발전용댐의 역할은 점차 중요해질 것으로 예상되며, 본 연구 결과는 발전용댐을 활용한 용수공급 관련 연구에 폭넓게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Dams are important structures for management of water supply for irrigation or drinking, flood control, and electricity generation. In seismic regions, the structural safety of concrete gravity dams is important due to the high potential of life and economic loss if they fail. Therefore, the seismic analysis of existing dams in seismically active regions is crucial for predicting responses of dams to ground motions. In this paper, earthquake response of concrete gravity dams is investigated using the finite element (FE) method. The FE model accounts for dam-water-foundation rock interaction by considering compressible water, flexible foundation effects, and absorptive reservoir bottom materials. Several uncertainties regarding structural attributes of the dam and external actions are considered to obtain the fragility curves of the dam-water-foundation rock system. The structural uncertainties are sampled using the Latin Hypercube Sampling method. The Pine Flat Dam in the Central Valley of Fresno County, California, is selected to demonstrate the methodology for several limit states. The fragility curves for base sliding, and excessive deformation limit states are obtained by performing non-linear time history analyses. Tensile cracking including the complex state of stress that occurs in dams was also considered. Normal, Log-Normal and Weibull distribution types are considered as possible fits for fragility curves. It was found that the effect of the minimum principal stress on tensile strength is insignificant. It is also found that the probability of failure of tensile cracking is higher than that for base sliding of the dam. Furthermore, the loss of reservoir control is unlikely for a moderate earthquake.
