In this study, the centrifugal tests were performed with varying the angle of slope such as 1:3, 1:2.5, and 1:2 in order to analyze the deformation and failure type of dredged clay slope for a short term. The displacement mode, displacement vector and the variation of pore pressure with the different slope angle were measured. As a results, even though the displacement in the slope after 4 months were developed in the case of 1:3 for the dredged slope, there are little problems to obtain the stability of dredged slope because the original construction section maintains. Also, in the case of 1:2.5 after 4 months the local slope failure occurred and in the case of 1:2 after 2 months the circle failure starting from the point of the tensile crack occurred. After reviewing the results, the maximum vertical displacement occurred at the crest of slope and maximum horizontal displacement was about double of maximum vertical displacement.

The costal reclamation construction is for making reclaimed land by dredging marine clay with seawater, and then bringing the dredged soil into the reclaimed land. During the process, the dredged soil in the reclaimed land undergoes the sedimentation-consolidation process. Among the processes, the consolidation is a very critical factor when planning reclaimed land because of its requiring time and settlement. In order to predict the requiring time and settlement, the Column test, which was suggested by Yano, has been usually used in the nation. However, the test method needs a very long time to identify the characteristic of sedimentation-consolidation of dredged soil. Therefore, in this study, in order to supplement the weakness of the Column test which needs such a long time, and in order to identify the characteristic of the sedimentation-consolidation for dredged soil in a short time, the Geo-centrifuge test was examined as an alternative method. The result considered that Geo-centrifuge test would be useful to identify the characteristic of sedimentation-consolidation for dredged soil efficiently.

In this study, the evaluation for effective utilization of waste landfill was performed by field test to use waste landfill as construction site(Nangido in Seoul). This site had been formed by dredging the household waste, building debris and industrial waste for fifteen years(78'3~93'3). The site where dynamic compaction test was divided by 4 yards. Yard-1, 2 were not eliminated widening of cover soil and Yard-3, 4 were eliminated it. Dynamic Compaction Pilot Test was carried out by the 15ton heavy tamper with drop height of 20m in Yard-1, 3 and with drop height of 15m in Yard-2, 4. We evaluated the compaction efficiency, optimum compaction number and noise vibration through field test, monitoring. As a result, if the countermeasures against vibration and noise by the method utilize, the dynamic compaction method is suitable for using in waste landfill as a construction site among the ground improvement method.

Restoration is the process of reducing or reversing damage to an ecosystem so that it can function in its original manner. However, many restoration programs do not achieve this. In the Nakdong Estuary, the largest migratory nesting site in the center of the East Asian-Australasian flyway, an estuarine barrage was constructed in the 1980s that required site restoration following its completion in 1987 and the expansion of several large industrial complexes(Noksan and Jangrim) and a residential development(Myeongji). The goal of the restoration was to restore the function of the wetland to its pre-disturbance state. To achieve this, a restoration program was designed consisting of three stages. The first stage(1993-1995), saw the construction of three artificial wetlands(Shinhori, Daemadeung, and Eulsuk), the second(2003-2005) involved the dredging and returning of farmed lands to their natural state, and the third(2008-2012) focused on the rehabilitation and vegetation development of the wetlands. However, the project has not achieved all of the desired goals, and it is an example of the lapses in ecological restoration following anthropogenic disturbance. Issues that resulted in an incomplete restoration included the timing of the stages, noncompliance with the restoration plan, not directly monitoring the restoration or continuing the monitoring following completion of the development project, and the political subversion of the restoration plan. For the success of the restoration plan, it is necessary to avoid mistakes such as inconsistent monitoring, unequal levels of stakeholder involvement, and political interference.

Coastal sediments in polluted areas adsorb many hydrophobic pollutants such as PCBs. During environmental remediation projects like dredging, they can be resuspended and transported to less polluted areas. To assess the environmental impact, the author previously developed a mathematical model that can simulate the changes of particle size distribution (PSD) due to sedimentation, vortical dispersion and coagulation. In this research, the simulation results using this model were presented in conjunction with observed PSDs from a 2-m settling column simulating coastal environments. The simulations showed that the model predictions were in fairly good agreement with the observed data (changes of PSDs in terms of depths and times), and that the resuspended sediments coagulated during the vertical transport. So, this study showed that the developed model has a good ability to describe the very complicated phenomena of real aggregation and vortical transport dynamics of coastal sediments with various particle sizes.

The Yeongsan River had played an important role as s waterway, but in 1981, the Yeongsan River Estuarin Barrage had been constructed, the waterway had been cut off. Since then, in the lower Yeongsan River basin, discussions about the waterway restoration and its utilization of the Yeongsan River has been proposed. But these discussions have not been examined thoroughly with geomorphological and hydrological characteristics of river charmel The waterway restoration and its utilization in the Yeongsan River should be based on scientific validity. In case of considering the conditions of the Yeongsan River, it is desired that the small ship for environmental survey and ecotourism is navigable from Gujinpo to Yeongsan River Estuarin Barrage by dredging a parts of river channel. To devise a plan about restoration and its utilization of waterway, it is necessary that regional and local governments, related administrative agencies, specialists, and NGO should develop the participation and cooperation systems based on governance.

The PBD (Plastic Board Drain) method is one of effective ground improvement methods on the soft dredging reclamation ground. This method has outstanding economic efficiency and constructability, and it is widely used for the soft ground improvement. However, the PBD method reduces permeability and drainage capacity of the ground due to the long construction period. Therefore, the nano coated Plastic drain board (PDB) was developed to solve problems. It is the non-metallic electrode and improves the weakness of the PBD method by using electric force of the electro-osmosis method. Various researches have been conducted to apply the nano coated PDB, but these researches were limited to model tests in laboratory. In this study, model and field tests were conducted to assess field applicability of the nano coated PDB. The result showed that the nano coated PDB had the better effect on the ground improvement compared to the normal PDB.

In this study we were to explore the seasonal variation of water temperature distributions before and after weir construction at Gumi, Chilgok, Gangjung(Goryung), Dalsung in the Nakdong River using Landsat satellite images. Relationship between in-situ water temperature and radiance values of Landsat-5, 7, 8 satellite images showed high correlation. Seasonal variation of water temperature in Nakdong River showed that the fluctuation ranges of water temperature before weir construction were larger than those after weir construction. This indicated that the variation of water temperature is due to the difference of heat storage volume by weir construction and dredging work. In particular, the water temperature after weirs construction in autumn was 4-8 times lower than that before weirs construction. Water temperature after weir construction decreased in spring and summer at the downstream of Gumi weir and Gangjung(Goryung) weir, and the upstream of Dalsung weir. In autumn and winter, the water temperature after weir construction increased in the upstream and downstream of the whole weirs except upstream of Gumi weir. Relationship between water temperature and meteorological elements (air temperature, wind speed, sunshine, radiation) showed high correlation of above 94% in air temperature, and then radiation was high correlation before and after 65%.

해사채취 선박에 설치된 월류수 저감장치의 효율성을 파악하기 위하여 월류수 저감장치가 설치된 선박과 설치되지 않은 선박의 작업시 부유사 농도를 관측 비교하였다. 부유사 관측결과 월류수 저감장치가 설치된 선박과 설치되지 않은 선박의 작업시 부유사 농도는 부유사 발생원으로부터 거리가 멀어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 1km 정점부터 배경농도와 비슷한 농도를 나타내었다. 월류수 저감장치의 사용여부에 따른 부유사 농도를 비교 분석한 결과 부유사의 저감효율은 52.9~65.5%(평균 60.8%)로 조사되었다. 또한 월류수 저감장치의 효율은 중층에서 평균 62.6%로 가장 높은 효율을 보였다. 본 연구의 부유사 관측 결과만으로 월류수 저감장치의 부유사 저감효율을 산정하기에는 다소 무리가 있으나, 관측 결과 나타난 월류수 저감장치의 부유사 저감효과는 비교적 양호한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 월류수 저감장치는 해사채취시 부유사 저감에 효과적인 방법으로 판단되며, 추후 월류수 저감장치 여과망의 여과효율 등 여러 인자들과의 상호 연관성을 종합적으로 고려하여 해사채취 선박에 설치된 월류수 저감장치의 효율을 도출할 예정이며 해사채취 대상해역의 정기적이고 세밀한 연구가 필요하리라 판단된다.

환경창(EWs; Environmental Windows)이란, 준설 및 준설토 처리에 대한 부정적인 영향이 최소가 되는 기간을 정하고, 그 기간에 준설 및 준설토 처리를 수행하게끔 지정된 기간을 의미한다. 1970년대부터 미국을 중심으로 개발되어, 2001년을 기준으로 미국의 모든 준설사업의 약 80% 이상을 관리하고 있다. 준설이 가능하도록 규정된 환경창과 준설이 가능하지 않은 계절적 제한(seasonal restrict)으로 구성되어 있으며, 계절적 제한 기간에 준설을 수행하고자 하는 경우에는 준설과 관련된 의사결정권자, 이해관계자 및 전문가들의 협의가 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 현재 환경창에서 제공하고 있는 정보는 준설 수행의 가능/불가능의 양자택일에 대한 정보만을 제시하고 있으며, 이러한 문제는 의사결정권자 및 이해관계자에게는 정량적인 정보를 주지 못해 의사결정이 어려워지는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 통계학적 기법을 이용하여 사회 환경적인 측면에서 준설의 부정적인 영향을 수치화하여 정량적인 정보를 제공할 수 있도록 환경창 지수를 개발하였다. 환경창 지수를 적용한 환경창의 검증을 위해 미국의 샌프란시스코 만에 적용하였으며, 적용결과와 현재 샌프란시스코 만에서 운영 중인 환경창과 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 환경창은 샌프란시스코 만에서 운영하고 있는 환경창과 동일한 환경창 기간을 제공함은 물론, 정량적인 환경창 지수를 제공함으로써 보다 간편한 의사결정이 가능함을 보였다. 또한 낙동강에 위치한 다기능보 중, 강정고령보에 적용하여 환경창을 개발하고 최적 준설시기 및 기간을 산정하였다. 개발된 환경창에 의하면 3월에 환경창 지수가 가장 높은 수치를 보임에 따라 가장 준설의 부정적인 영향이 작은 환경창 기간이라고 할 수 있으며, 가장 부적절한 환경창 기간은 5월인 것으로 나타났다.
