The purpose of this study was to improved the durability of a improved movable weir by replacing the improved movable weir's metal gate with a hybrid steel/glass fiber reinforced polymer composites panel gate. Because the metal gate of a improved movable weir is always in contact with water, its service life is shortened by corrosion. This study made four type of hybrid steel/glass fiber reinforced polymer composites panel gate with different steel gate surface deformation (control, sand blast, scratch and hole), flexural. Fracture properties tests were performed depending on the steel gate surface deformation. According to the test results, the flexural behavior, flexural strength and fracture properties of hybrid steel/glass fiber reinforced polymer composites panel gate was affected by the steel panel gate surface deformation. Also, the sand blast type hybrid steel/glass fiber reinforced polymer composites panel gate shows vastly superior flexural and fracture performance compared to other types.

Numerous water gates have been constructed and are under construction for the control of water level because, due to the topographical characteristics of mountainous area, many small size rivers are developed in Korean peninsula. Among the water gates, movable water gates are more efficient to control water level than the fixed water gates. By the field application of the movable water gates, many problems associated with the fixed water gates have been mitigated. The problems include the bottom water pollution, the change of habitats for the riparian organisms, etc. This is the reason to increase the field application of movable water gates. In the paper we present the result of analytical investigation pertaining to the structural behavior of multistage overturning movable water gate which is one of the movable water gates. In the analytical investigations, the finite element analysis on the constructed water gate has been conducted for illustration purposes and it was found that the multistage movable water gate is much better than the fixed and/or existing movable water gates in the point of structural and environmental performances.

A micromechanical switch that can be used as a logic gate is described in this paper. This switch consists of fixed input electrodes an output electrode Vcc/GND electrodes and movable plates suspended by crab-leg flexures. for mechanical switching of an electrical signal a parallel plate actuator which comes in contact with output electrode was used. Provided that movable plates are connected to Vcc and a low input voltage(ground signal) is applied to the fixed input electrodes the movable plates are pulled by an electrostatic force between the fixed input electrodes and the movable plates. the proposed micromechanical switch was fabricated by surface micromachining technology with$2\mum$ -thick poly-Si and the measured threshold voltage for ON/OFF switching was 23.5V.

The improved movable weir supplements the advantages and disadvantages of the rubber weir and the conduction gate. It consists of a stainless steel gate, air bags, and a steel clamping plate. The stainless steel gate is the main body of the weir, and the inflatable rubber sheet serves to support the steel gate. The steel clamping plate is typically in direct continuous contact with water, but this leads to corrosion issues that can reduce the life of the entire movable weir. In this study, a panel-type glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) clamping plate was designed and fabricated. The test results showed that the flexural load of the panel-type GFRP composite clamping plate was over twice that of the wings type GFRP clamping plate. The lowest moisture absorption value was obtained upon exposure to tap water, and exposure to other solutions showed similar values. Additionally, flexural load testing after exposure to an accelerated environment found the lowest residual loads of 80.51 % and 78.50 % at 50 and 100 days, respectively, for exposure to a $CaCl_2$ solution, while exposure to other environments showed residual failure loads of over 80 % at both 50 and 100 days.

In the case of multi-function weirs installed in Korea, the free hydraulic jump or the submerged hydraulic jump is occurred depending on the height of the gate opening and the tailwater level when the sluice gate of the movable weir is partially opened. In this study, the submerged hydraulic jump for the flows under the sluice gate were simulated and the mean flow, turbulence statistics, and relative water depth are investigated using numerical simulation. For numerical simulation, the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation, volume of fluid method, and k-ωSST turbulence model were used. The numerical model was validated using the results of other researchers' previously performed experiments, and it was investigated that the numerical model appropriately simulates the two-phase flow in the hydraulic jump. In addition, the distribution of mean flow, turbulence statistics, and the length of recirculation region was investigated.

Multi-functional weirs has been installed in four rivers are hydraulic structures across the river. The structures were divided into movable and fixed weirs. Hence, riverbed-level variation and sediment transport can be varied due to water gate operation. In this study, the long-term riverbed-level variation of Geum river basin due to water gate operation of multi-functional weirs was studied. Result of this study shows that the variation of thalweg elevation was greater than the variation of annual average riverbed elevation due to multi-functional weirs construction and water gate operation. Maximum riverbed degradation of thalweg elevation that occurred was 2.79m and riverbed aggradation was 1.90m. Maximum riverbed degradation of the annual average riverbed elevation that occurred was 2.16m and riverbed aggradation was 1.24m. Analysis result of flood stage by the variation of riverbed-level shows that flood stages were increased in majorities area. The maximum increase in the value of flood stage was 2.23m. For this reason, flood stages can be greater than the freeboard of the levees. Therefore, we should consider the water gate operation of multi-functional weirs when planning and managing sediment in the river. We are expecting to use the result of this study in river planning for river management and selecting the river regime.

Suspended sediment transport plays principal roles in morphological process of natural coastals. It is needed to understand the reason why interaction characteristics of solitary wave and suspended sediment. The present study shows that suspended sediment pickup derived on solitary wave celerity. The 2D prismatic open channel length is 12 m, width is 0.8 m, height is 0.75 m and slope is 1/6. Generation of solitary wave is used by rapidly opening the sluice gate. Bottom surface sediments are laid movable slope section by 0.03 m thickness and experimental sediments are used anathracite and jumoonjin sand. Techniques of suspended sediment pickup rate are designed equipment ASC(Absorptive Suspended sediment Collector). It could directly absorb 5 points suspended sediment by channel water depth. Solitary wave celerity is measued by ADV(Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter). Mounted two video cameras(Model No. : Sony, HDR-XR550) are used to image processing of suspended sediment concentration and turbidity. Suspended sediment pikcup rate(Einstein, 1950) is analyzed to nondimensionalization based on solitary wave celerity. The suspended sediment pickup rate is suggested that more effective plunging breaking type than spilling. The results indicates fundamental suspended sediment transport mechanism between solitary wave celerity and suspended sediment pickup based on laboratory experiments. Finally, the present study suggests that suspended sediment pickup rate by solitary wave is used only characteristics of sediment and solitary wave celerity.

최근 우리나라 주요하천에 걸쳐 수행된 '4대강 살리기 사업'에서는 하천에서 발생하는 홍수 및 가뭄재해의 방지를 위한 다양한 사업이 추진되었다. 특히 안정적인 용수공급과 재해방지를 위한 수위확보를 목적으로 4대강 16 개 구간에 걸쳐서 일반적 형태의 고정보와 함께 다양한 형상과 운영방식이 적용된 가동보로 이루어진 다목적보가 설치되었다. 본 연구에서는 4대강 유역(한강, 낙동강, 영산강, 금강)에 설치된 16 개 가동보의 형식 중 4곳(강정고령보, 강천보, 합천창녕보, 창녕함안보)에 적용된 라이징 섹터 게이트(rising sector gate)의 수리학적 특성을 분석하고자 가동보의 수리실험 모형을 개수로에 설치하여 보 주변에서의 흐름 및 난류 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 4대강 유역에 설치된 라이징 섹터 게이트의 설치목적은 일반적인 고정보의 문제점으로 대두되고 있는 보 상류부의 퇴적토를 신속하게 배사(sediment flushing)하는 데 있다. 이를 위해서는 우선 배사 시에 보 하단부에서 최대유속을 발생시키면서 동시에 최적의 상하류 수위조건을 만족시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 개수로에 설치된 가동보의 수문개방도에 따른 유속분포를 측정하였다. 보 주변에서의 보다 정밀한 유속장의 측정을 위해서 비접촉식 유속측정 방법인 PIV 측정방법을 이용하였다. PIV 측정방법은 일정한 입경과 밀도를 가지며 레이저 반사율이 높은 입자를 흐름에 투입하고 laser 발생장치로 laser sheet를 생성하여 레이저가 반사되어 나타나는 입자 각각의 시간변화에 따른 변위를 CCD 카메라로 가시화한 뒤 유속벡터값을 추출할 수 있게 한다. PIV 측정방법으로 유체의 흐름을 파악하고 시간평균된 유속결과를 바탕으로 난류 특성을 분석하였다. 수로전체 구간에 대하여 3차원 수치해석 프로그램인 FLOW-3D 모의결과와 비교하여 분석하였다. 실험을 통한 유속결과와 수치해석결과는 실험을 통한 유속결과와 비교 분석하였으며, 적용성을 검증한 후 다양한 조건에 대한 설계방안 및 유지관리에 활용하고자 한다.

This study is concerned with the hydraulic experiments of Modi Khola Hydroelectric in Nepal. The experimental domain consists of the intake structure and the settling basin. The intake structure was made by the undistorted model with the scale of 1:20, the settling basin by the distorted model with the scale of 1:10(vertical) and 1:15(horizontal). Based on the movable bed model theory, the 'Anthracite'($\rho_s$ =1.48) is chosen as a model material. According to the model tests, the installation of the guide wall with proper height and the proper control of the flushing gate are required for the effective flushing in the intake structure. In the settling basin a more proper design of the inlet in order to constrain the turbulence flow is required for an efficient sedimentation and the installation of another flushing pipe near the maximum sedimental area is required. Since the trap efficiency is measured about 95%, it is concluded that the design of the settling basin is proper.
