  • PURPOSES: This study is to suggest the improvement for bus rapid transit system in Seoul METHODS: The maintenance cost for bus lane damages and plastic deformations are increased by bus passing speed, heavy bus weight, and climate change (localized torrential downpour, subtropical climate) and the accident risk has been increased. RESULTS: Recent analysis of pavement damage indicates that bus lane damage caused by heavy weight is overwhelming and it is urgent to prepare countermeasures. CONCLUSIONS : Pavement data of bus rapid transit system, bus transit numbers and pavement damage elements were analyzed. By analyzing pavement maintenance, design and construction, the countermeasures for the improvement of bus lane pavement and effective maintenance were suggested.

  • Due to frequent occurrence of a localized torrential downpour caused by global warming and change of outflow tendency caused by rapid urbanization and industrialization, risk analysis must be carried out in levee design with uncertainty. In this study, reliability analysis was introduced to quantitatively evaluate the overtopping risk of levee by the uncertainty. First of all, breaking function was established as a function of flood stage and height of levee. All variables of breaking function were considered as random variables following any distribution functions, and the risk was defined as the possibility that the flood stage is formed higher than height of levee. The risk evaluation model was developed with AFDA (Approximate Full Distribution Approach). The flood stage computed by 2-D numerical model FESWMS-2DH was used as input data for the model of levee risk evaluation. Risk for levee submergence were quantitatively presented for levee of Wol-Song-Cheon.

  • Recently, a rivers' bridge that locate on among the mountains area is destroyed by debris accumulation and debris flow, because of frequent occurrence of typhoon and a localized torrential downpour. therefore a river make a part of dam's effect. Actually, this situation gives damages like inundation of a bridge upper stream area's. Generally, It the main cause of the occurrence route of the debris accumulation is that outbreaks of driftwood and debris flow because of landslide, that occurred by severe rain storm. Also, a lot of debris are occurred when big flood come up during long period at this time, this kind of debris accumulation remove to other place, in several, and specially, debris accumlation move to the place where the depth of water is deep and velocity is fast river center. According to these kind of fact, this research put in effect and analyze that movement characteristic's numerical simulations of debris accumulation at flood according to a domestic outside literature investigation, on-site monitoring survey and parameter scenario which comes out through the hydraulic modeling analysis.

  • Estimating flood discharge is important because a very large scale of damage on people's lives and wealth is occurred by downpour for the unusual weather change recently. Accordingly, this study derive rating-curve by using the estimated probable flood discharge although frequency analysis for Gam-stream.

  • Impervious surface affects urban climate, flood, and water pollution. With a higher paved rate, expanded heat containing capacity of buildings and roads raises atmospheric temperature, and increased quantity of the outflowed water brings flood during a heavy downpour. Moreover, increased non-point source pollutant load is accountable for water pollution. In this regard, it is definitely important to research and keep monitoring the current situation of paved surface, which influences urban ecosystem, disaster and pollution. In fact, collecting information on urban paved surface, which requires the time and expense, is very difficult due to its complicate structure. In order to solve the problem, this study suggested a method to utilize satellite image data for efficient survey on the current condition of paved surface. It analyzed the paved surface condition of Anyang-si by using IKONOS image and discussed the usefulness and limitation of this method.

  • There were huge damages of human beings and their properties in many areas of the basin of the Nak-Dong river by the unusual weather and the localized downpour recently. In this research against disasters, we want to know the special quality of strength of the cemented sand that is mixed with cement and poor-graded sand which is the materials of riverbed in the basin of the Nak-Dong river as levee's material. For that, we want to provide the fundamental data which need in the examination of adaptation of levee's material, design and analysis by investigating compressive strength by curing period and cement ratio, elastic modulus and stress by transformation from compaction test, CBR test, unconfined compression test, triaxial compression test as changing ratio of sand and cement from 2% to 8% at two points in the basin of the Nak-Dong river.

  • In this study was investigated and analyzed of damage characteristics for infrastructures by typhoon that have been many occur. The objective Structures were the road and hydraulic structure. The road structure was included the cut-slopes, retaining walls and bridges. The hydraulic structure is divided with the dike, small-scale dam, reservoir and floodgate. The analysis result of the bridge damage cause is river bottom height increase and passage ability decrease. The principal damage reasons of the cut-slope structure are weakening the ground due to the localized torrential downpour and drainage defective. Also, the principal damage reasons of the small-scale dam, reservoir, dike and the floodgate are continuous collapse of dike beside the floodgate.And we divided a typhoon damage occurrence cause with artificial and natural. As the result of analysis, the many damage occurrence cause will be removed by system improvement and technical development.

  • The whole death by disaster is totalized to 1,515 person from 1993 to 2004 year in our country. In this section life damages by landslide is totalized 357 people(about 24% of whole life damage). About 36 people are died by landslide(such as cutting area failure every year). Kangwon-do need a lot of interests and prevention because dangerous area that landslide occurrence is more than other area at summer localized downpour or thawing season and there is landslide occurrence possibility area more than other area. Kangwon-do area is higher than other area in natural disaster incidence and damage scale because topography and a lot of rainfalls by summer localized in Kangwon-Do than other area. In this study, dangerous area of landslide occurrence possibility is analyzed and compared Kangwon-Do with other areas in our country. as a result, every year we have experienced landslide occurrence and natural disaster. accordingly, we urgently need to prevent landslide occurrence and natural disaster by analy-zed source about landslide occurrence and condition of disaster in Kangwon-Do and suitable engineering method and construction work.
