As a method of predicting the displacement of river levee in advance, Differential Interferometry (D-InSAR) kind of InSAR techniques was used to identify weak points in the area of the levee collapes near Gumgok Bridge (Somjin River) in Namwon City, which occurred in the summer of 2020. As a result of analyzing the displacement using five images each in the spring and summer of 2020, the Variation Index (V) of area where the collapse occurred was larger than that of the other areas, so the prognostic sysmptoms was detected. If the levee monitoring system is realized by analyzing the correlations with displacement results and hydrometeorological factors, it will overcome the existing limitations of system and advance ultra-precise, automated river levee maintenance technology and improve national disaster management.

It is urgent to redevelop the superannuated reservoir levee through the levee raising for countermeasure to climate change and improvement of storage capacity of reservoir. However, low compaction degree of the raised reservoir levee owing to poor construction condition leads to degradation of the stability of the reservoir levee on seepage and earthquake. In this study, seepage and seismic behavior of raised reservoir levee with low compaction degree was evaluated through numerical simulation. From the simulated results, water level raising possibly induces crack and/or sinkhole on the surface of the poorly-compacted raised reservoir levee owing to the increase of the subsidences at the crown and the front side of that. In addition, relatively larger displacement and acceleration response at the front side of raised reservoir levee in seismic condition may degrade overall stability of reservoir levee. Therefore, reasonable construction management for the compaction of the raised reservoir levee is required for ensuring long-term stability on seepage and earthquake.

Collapse of the levee surrounding structure(culvert) accounts for l0 % of collapse factors of the river levees. In particular, in 2002, the levee collapse that happened at "Nakdong River" at flood usually happened around culverts. This levee collapse has mechanism that the cavity expands with internal erosion at flood after the pore and cavity are formed between culvert and levee copula which are heterogeneity material. The study regarding the cavity or flowing detection around a culvert for safety management of a river levee is in the proceeding. In this study, the characteristic of two sensors could be figured out through an experiment about displacement measure of Flex sensor and FBG sensor and the decision of more suitable sensor was possible for safety supervision of river levee. According to an experiment result, several characteristics of FBG sensor could be known in consistency of the measure data and minute displacement measure part regarding displacement measure and this characteristic may supplement a shortcoming of Flex sensor at this time.

This study aims to evaluate the behavior of poorly-compacted raised reservoir levee with water level raising by using centrifugal model test. From the test results, it seems that the hydraulic fracturing at the core of the raised reservoir levee with low degree of compaction possibly occurs due to the drastical increase of pore water pressure by water level raising. Additionally, the continuous infiltration may induce crack and/or sinkhole on the surface of the poorly-compacted raised reservoir levee owing to the increase of the subsidences at the crown and the front side of that. Therefore, reasonable construction management for the compaction of the raised reservoir levee is needed.

In this study, a simple method to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of river levees was examined considering the structural characteristic of river levee, that is long, and the functional characteristic of river levee that performs temporary function against flood but is a permanent structure in the ordinary way. Considering the fact that one of the main failure modes of the levee during the earthquake are the settlement due to the strength reduction of the ground caused by the increase of the excess pore pressure in the levee body and foundation and the settlement due to liquefaction, the 2-dimensional section of the levee was regarded as the 1-dimensional section and the liquefaction potential index (LPI) for the regarded section was estimated. The estimated LPI was correlated with the seismic vulnerability of river levees. The relationship between the displacement of the levee crest caused by the earthquake and the seismic vulnerability of the levees was obtained from the results of previous researches and the correlation between the displacements of the levee crest computed by 2-dimensional dynamic coupled analyses and LPIs based on the results of 1-dimensional seismic response analyses was investigated. In connection with this correlation, as a result of examination of the correlation between LPI and the seismic vulnerability of the levee, it was concluded that the method for evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the Korean river levee using LPI is applicable.

This study examined the behavior change of river levees during an earthquake by numerical analysis. Unlike conventional research using artificial earthquake waves, earthquake analysis was performed using real earthquake waves. The behavior of a river levee before and after an earthquake was compared and analyzed quantitatively. Studies show that the river levee has a safety factor of approximately 28.5% due to an earthquake. On the other hand, the minimum standard safety factor is satisfied. Vertical effective stress has decreased by 81.8% due to excess pore-water pressure generated by the earthquake. In addition, liquefaction occurs in most of the foundation soil. An examination of the stress-displacement behavior due to the earthquake revealed a large amount of settlement in the backfill layer. Most of the foundation soil yielded. Therefore, the target river levee is quite vulnerable to earthquakes. Through the results of this study, the necessity of refreshing the seismic design standards for river levees is required. This study can be used as basic data for estimating the approximate damage level and vulnerable areas.

In this study, the seismic vulnerability of public river levees was analyzed quantitatively. Input seismic waves were generated in Pohang seismic waves in return periods of 200, 500, 1000, and 2400 years. The behavior of the levee was analyzed by seismic vulnerability analysis according to the return period. The displacement that occurs during an earthquake showed the same tendency as the input seismic wave and was largest in the return period of 2400 years. An analysis of the sliding stability revealed a 31.5% and 26.7% decrease in the sliding safety factor for the return period of 2400 for the landside and waterside, respectively. An examination of liquefaction by the q/p' ratio showed that the seepage line inside the embankment rises due to earthquakes. As a result, in the case of a return period of 2400 years, most embankments generate liquefaction, making them vulnerable to earthquakes. Through this research, it will be necessary to re-establish domestic seismic-design standards and establish clear standards for the results through a dynamics method.

최근 기후변화와 하천 제방의 노후화로 인해 수재해 위험이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 재래적인 하천 제방의 점검은 많은 인력과 예산 소모로 비효율적이며 제방 전구간 점검의 한계, 객관성의 한계 등 많은 한계점들이 존재하여 효과적인 홍수 대응을 위해 새로운 모니터링과 예/경보 시스템의 구축이 반드시 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 인공위성을 이용한 하천 제방 변위 산출과 수문학적 요인과의 관계 분석을 통해 하천 제방 건강상태 모니터링 시스템 방안을 제안하고자 한다. Sentinel-1 SAR 영상과 유럽 우주국(ESA)의 위성 영상 전처리 도구인 SNAP을 이용하여 2020년 여름 붕괴된 남원시의 금곡교 제방의 봄(4~5월), 여름(7~8월)의 변위를 산출하였고, 제방의 위험도 산정을 위해 토양수분관계를 분석하였다. 선행 연구(김상우,2019)에서는 농촌진흥청에서 제공하는 TDR(Time Domain Reflectrometry) 관측값과 Sentinel-1 SAR의 후방 산란계수의 토양수분관계가 일치하는 경향을 제시하여, 본 연구에서는 이를 이용하여 제방 후 방산란계수를 산출하고 변위와 토양수분도의 상관관계를 분석하여 변위 추세와 토양수분도의 추세가 일치하는 경향을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 향후에는 위성을 이용하여 산출한 제방의 변위와 토양수분도의 불확실성을 보완하고 기온, 수위, 토양도, 지하수위와 같은 수문기상학적 데이터의 분석을 통해 초정밀, 자동화 하천 제방 건강상태 모니터링 시스템이 구현 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Recently, lots of damages have been lost because large magnitude earthquakes were occurred in the world. It has been increased the number of earthquakes in Korea. It needs improvement required for the repair of deteriorated reservoirs, reinforcement and raised reservoir coping with climate change and earthquake. This study aims to investigate the seismic behavior of deterioration reservoir levee using dynamic centrifugal model test. Therefore, two case tests in centrifugal field of 60 g, the result has provided the influence on the acceleration response, displacement, settlement and the pore water pressure of the reservoir with earthquakes. From the results larger displacement and acceleration response at the front side of reservoir embankment with poor-fabricated core in seismic condition may degrade overall stability. Reasonable reinforcement method of the raised reservoir embankment is required for ensuring long-term stability on earthquake.

Newmark's sliding block analysis is the most commonly used method for predicting earthquake-induced permanent displacement of embankment slopes. Additionally, it yields the amount of slip circle sliding using the limit equilibrium theory. Thus, permanent displacement does not occur until the seismic load exceeds the yield acceleration, which induces sliding of the slip circle. The evolution of Newmark's sliding block analysis has been made by introducing the numerical seismic response analysis results since it was introduced. This study compares seismic performance evaluation results for the example enclosure dam section with the analysis methods. As a result, earthquake-induced permanent displacement using Newmark's sliding block analysis did not occur for the enclosure dam, indicating a high safety factor. However, nonlinear response history analysis gave reasonable results.
