Abstract

With its rapid velocity and wide deposition, debris flow is a natural disaster that causes loss of human life and destruction of facility. To design effective debris barriers, impact force of debris flow should be first considered. Debris flow velocity is one of the key features to estimate the impact force of debris flow. In this study, we conducted small-scale flume experiments to analyze flow characteristics of debris flow, and determine flow resistance coefficients with different slope gradients and sediment mixtures. Flow velocity significantly varied with flume slope and mixture type. Debris flow depth decreased as slope increased, but difference in depth between sediment mixtures was not significant. Among flow resistance coefficients, Chezy coefficient ($C_1$) showed not only relatively highest goodness of fit, but also constant value ($20.19m^{-1/2}\;s^{-1}$) regardless the scale of debris flow events. The overall results suggested that $C_1$ can be most appropriately used to estimate flow velocity, the key factor of assessing impact force, in wide range of debris flow scale.

토석류는 빠른 속도와 넓은 퇴적 범위 등으로 인명 및 재산 피해를 야기하는 산지토사재해이다. 토석류 피해 저감을 목적으로 효과적인 사방 구조물을 설계하기 위해서는 토석류의 충격력을 정확하게 산정하여야 한다. 토석류의 유동속도는 토석류 충격력을 추정하는데 중요한 요인이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 소형 수로실험을 통해 수로경사 및 시료 조건에 따른 토석류의 유동특성을 실험적으로 분석하고, 토석류 유동속도 추정식의 유동저항계수를 추정하였다. 유동속도는 수로의 경사조건 및 시료의 점성조건에 유의한 변화를 보였다. 유동깊이는 수로경사에 대해서 유의한 차이를 보였으나 시료의 점성변화에 대해서는 유의한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 유동저항계수를 계산하여 분석한 결과, Voellmy flow 모형의 Chezy 상수($C_1$)가 상대적으로 수로실험 결과를 잘 재현하였다. 또한, 실제 토석류 사례와의 비교 결과, 유동깊이에 관계없이 일정한 값($20.19m^{-1/2}\;s^{-1}$)을 보였다. 따라서, $C_1$은 다양한 발생규모의 토석류에 대한 유동속도 추정에 잘 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
