KEPCO has been operating a lightning detection network, KLDNet, to cope with lightning-induced faults. An weather observation for last 40 years shows that heavy rainy days per year and the strength of rain have almost doubled. It could be interpreted as more frequent occurrence of lightning events. In accordance with that, the lightning activities and the mischievous influences, such as transmission faults, have increased. In this paper, the observed data by the network in 2007 is analyzed and compared with ten-years-old-statistics accumulated by the former system, LPATS.

Annually, many parts of the Korea have been damaged from the localized heavy rain and/or typhoons which peak between June and September, which result in extensive financial and human loss. Especially, because the most area of Gangwon province is composed of the steep slope mountains, the damages by the debris flow or land-sliding are more frequent and the frequency has been increased. To analyze the characteristics and causes of these debris flow disasters, lots of study are recently being conducted through database of weather, hydrologic, soil etc using a GIS or remote sensing. In this study, we applied GIS method to analyze the risk of the debris flow area. With the statistical analysis and infinite slope stability model(SINMAP), the debris flow risk level of the mountain slope was generated. As a result, the GIS statistical analysis showed high correlation that former model of SINMAP in determining the debris flow risk area.

2010년 9월 21일 오전부터 서울과 인천 등 수도권 지역에 최대 200mm가 넘는 집중호우가 내렸다. 이로 인해 도림천에서는 하천 복원 공사가 한창이었으나, 공사가 진행된 지점에서 자연형하천 공법의 훼손이 심각하게 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 집중호우로 인한 자연형하천 공법의 훼손 현황을 현지조사를 통해 살펴보고, 이의 원인을 검토, 분석하여 복구대책 수립에 지침이 되도록 하였다. 자연형하천 공법의 훼손은 주로 하천의 수리적인 안정성을 고려하지 않고 설치함으로써 인위적으로 흐름에 지장을 초래하기 때문에 발생하였다. 흐름의 유속을 고려하지 않는 수생식물 식재, 하도 내에 설치된 진입계단, 전망데크, 불투수성의 자전거길 및 저수호안공의 훼손은 추후 흐름의 유속과 와류 등을 고려한 수리적인 안정성 확보가 중요함을 시사하였다. 한편, 저수호안에 식재한 갯버들+자연석 호안공은 이번 호우에도 어느 정도 대응 가능하였음을 감안할 때, 흐름의 유속이 빠르다고 하여 자연석 호안공을 시멘트로 메워 식생을 도입하지 않았던 공법에 대한 재검토가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

The water leakage of reservoir embankment usually occurs through water vein, which gives little influence on the embankment in a normal state. However, the embankment can be destroyed when the water level of reservoir increases with heavy rain in summer. Investigating the water vein and its path is therefore very important from the viewpoint of disater prevention and embankment protection. This paper presents survey results of one-meter-depth ground temperature and multi-point temperature logging in an embankment in Japan to delineate water veins and permeable formations. Four water veins have been predicted in the embankment by comparing measured one-meter-depth ground temperatures with the background ones which have no effect of water vein. The multi-point temperature logging was carried out in the borehole drilled at one of the predicted water veins. Depth and thickness of the permeable formation in the borehole can be determined from temperature restoration ratios with elapsed time. From these results we can find that the water leakage of reservoir embankment mainly occurs in sandy soil formation in the embankment.

New type of the sewer drainage has been developed to overcome present sewer drainage's shortcoming. This system has the function of drainage, sewerage, reverse flow prevention, and harmful insect and smell prevention. Numerical simulation has been carried out in order to minimize the troubles that can be happened in the process of manufacture and installation process. This sewer drainage system for harmful insect and smell prevention intercepts pollution source, and then it prohibit second pollution. Harmful insect cannot go in and out in this system. Also, this system can reduce the damage of flooded districts due to heavy rain because it is impossible to flow backward from sewer drainage.

최근 들어 지구온난화에 따른 이상기후과 집중호우 그리고 급격한 도시화로 예측하기 어려운 수문현상의 변화가 생기고 있다. 특히 최근 기후변화로 인해 돌발성 집중호우가 짧은 시간에 집중하게 되면 수위가 급상승하게 되어 많은 재해를 유발시키는 일이 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 집중호우로 피해가 빈번하게 발생하는 하천주변의 홍수피해지역을 분석하였으며, 대상 지역으로는 경기도 포천시 군내면에 위치한 포천천과 좌의천이 합류되는 지점에 침수가 발생한 공장을 대상지역으로 선정하였다. 수리 수문분석을 위해 FastTABS 모형을 이용하였으며, 피해발생 후 측량한 수위 등을 이용하여 분석하였다. 당시 침수피해 상황에 대하여 수리 수문학적인 측면에서 피해 원인분석을 하였으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 결과는 향후 호우피해에 관한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The railroad system must ensure not only the safety of facilities but also the prevention of natural and environmental disasters. The infrastructure must be strengthened in order to prevent rail damage by natural disasters and other causes. Thus, it would be able to prevent damage due to such natural factors like heavy rain and snow fall, wind, and catastrophic earthquakes. It seems that it would be the best way to install safety facilities throughout the entire length of a route, but one would not be able to provide for the costs involved in this approach. Therefore, these facilities must be installed at selected locations that is the most vulnerable to disasters. In this paper we propose the examples of both foreign and domestic methods in order to prevent from damages caused by the above-mentioned natural disasters and others.

The several water resources are showed recently the various pollution types due to the industrialization and the disarranged district development. The living waste water, plant waste water and so are contaminated continuously and the recycling water is concerned highly to save the cost and to improve the environment as the general people. The dust and the heavy metal in the air and the acid rain are contaminating the river water and the underground water. The clean environment is on the rise to the general people and is to be the social problems. There is going to complement and repair the water supplying and fire extinguishing pipeline to save the construction cost and improve the environment in the construction facilities parts. Therefore, in this paper the recycling water treatment/supply apparatus using the living waste water is considerated technically and is raised on the practical uses.

One of the landslide, Debris flow means flow mixed of rocks, gravels, sand and soil with water. Debris flow occurred in summer by passed the rainy season and typhoon. Especially, Localized heavy rain derived from abnormal weather caused debris flow independent of season. It is increase to collapse of house, bridge, roads by debris flow but countermeasure studies about occurrence cause, movement pattern, damage scale about debris flow are insufficient. This study performed debris flow model experiment using dry material and calculated shock force predicted debris flow occurrence.

Earthquake had occurred in the Korean Peninsula about 2,100 times is not well known in the world. With the true liquefaction judgment is well used to in Korea. Through liquefaction judgements were compared with specifications between Korea and Japan, it would be offered some suggestions for liquefaction judgement used in Korea. The proposals were as 1) It can be known that what kind of earthquake will make unstable state between long-term and short-term earthquake if the natural period of ground turned out. In that case, Hachinohe and Ofunato Earthquake wave will need no more. 2) Liquefaction-induced lateral flow or damage for structure should be estimate but it had not performed in Korea. 3) Heavy rain and ocean wave-induced liquefaction also should be examined thoroughly in slope or ocean, respectively.
