Maintenance of structural and hydrological safety of the superannuated fill dam is very important subject on the viewpoint of disaster prevention. Mainly, the core of the superannuated fill dams have been damaged continuously by the various harmful external forces such as the typhoons, flash floods and earthquake, and these can be connected to the large scaled general dam failure. Therefore, the research on the repair, remediation and reinforcement of dam is necessary. In this study, the permeable grouting method for the remediation of fill dam was examined by the electrical resistivity survey and the change of permeability of core front. As a result, the permeable grouting method can be useful remediation method for the superannuated fill dam, the leakage from the core front decreased greatly before and after the construction of grouting. Furthermore, it can be said that the turbidity of fill dam may not be greatly increased by grouting.

Recently frequent collapse of old fill dams has taken place, which increases social awareness in the safety of the infrastructure. Fill dams in Korea has been incautiously regarded as safe once the fill dam is considered to have a full capacity to retain a conservative design flood determined by government authorities. However, developed foreign countries has been managing their fill dams by introducing systematic risk assessment techniques over a long period of time. In this study, the system response probabilities of the deteriorated old fill dams in Korea were systematically evaluated and analyzed by using the internal erosion toolbox based on the event tree analysis technique. The probability of the existence of flaw and the magnitude of the hydraulic gradient through a potential crack can significantly influence the geotechnical system response probability. The results of this study show that the probability of the existence of flaw and the magnitude of the hydraulic gradient through a potential crack can significantly influence the geotechnical system response probability and the risk of the deteriorated fill dam can be quantitatively assessed.

As greater numbers of fill dams and reservoirs become old, the risks of damage or embankment collapse increases. However, few studies have considered the deterioration and hazard classification of the internal core layers of fill dams. This study reports the results of geotechnical investigations of 13 earth-cored fill dams in Korea, based on no-water borehole drilling, Standard Penetration Test, and 2D and 3D electrical resistivity surveys along with in situ and laboratory testing. High-capacity no-water boring minimized core layer disturbance while providing continuous core sample recovery. The results allow the classification of potential hazards related to the existing core layers based on both visual inspection of the recovered samples and the results of engineering surveys and tests. Four types of potential hazard are classified: locally fluidized core with a high water content, rapid water inflow to a borehole, cores with granular materials, and relatively low stiffness of core. Among these, the locally fluidized core is the most critical hazard that requires remedial action because it is related to the potential internal flow path and internal erosion. The other three hazard types are of medium importance and require careful monitoring and regular inspection. Of note, there was no correlation between age and core deterioration. The results are expected to aid the safe management and potential upgrading of aging cored fill dams.

최근 우리나라에서는 국지성호우로 인해 발생하는 돌발홍수에 방어하지 못하는 소규모 저수지에 대한 붕괴사고가 빈발하고 있다. 붕괴된 저수지를 살펴보면, 대체적으로 규모가 작아 체계적인 안전관리가 이루어지지 않거나 경과연수가 50년 이상인 필댐(fill dam) 형식으로 축조된 노후저수지로서 갑작스러운 홍수를 대응하는데 있어 매우 취약한 상태이다. 체계적으로 운영되는 대형댐에 비해 축조기간이 오래된 소규모 저수지의 경우, 저수지에 대한 수문학적 정보가 거의 없거나 미계측되어 보수보강이 필요한 저수지를 선정하거나 정량적인 위험도를 분석하는데 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 노후된 소규모 저수지에 대한 수문학적 파괴인자들을 선정하여 Bayesian Network기반의 소규모 저수지 위험도 분석 모형을 구축하였다. 구축된 모형을 기준으로 고려될 수 있는 다양한 위험인자 및 이들 인자간의 연관성을 평가하였으며, 각각의 노드에 파괴인자를 노드로 할당하여 소규모 저수지의 위험도를 분석하였다. Bayesian Network기법의 도입으로 불확실한 상황을 확률로 표시하고, 복잡한 추론을 정량화된 노드의 관계로 단순화시켜 노드의 연결 관계로 표현하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모형은 노후된 소규모 저수지의 수문학적 위험도를 정량으로 분석하는 모형으로서 활용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

As it has become difficult to secure new water resources through dam construction due to the critical social public opinions on dam construction from 10 years ago, it is necessary to review the existing water resources through the review of existing dams. Accordingly, access methods, such as planning, construction and management, were carried out using technologies already accumulated in relation to the repair and reinforcement of the dam. As a result of the repair and reinforcement, permeation grouting has been performed in many dams, but the establishment of the technology is insufficient so far, and the published paper at home and abroad is extremely rare. In this thesis, low-pressure penetration and grouting reinforcement technologies for the YC dam are analyzed in detail. As a result, penetration grouting has shown that it can be effectively applied to the improvement in the constallability of the core fill-like a YC dam. In addition, the technical details of the experience-proven penetration grouting are given in relation to the injection criteria. It is deemed that the specific analysis data of the Fill Dam penetration grouting technology through this study can be used as useful data for strengthening the repair of Fill Dam and reservoir.
