The runup height is an important design parameter to determine the crest elevation of coastal structures and seawalls. In this study, two dimensional wave runup tests for rubble-mound structure covered by tetrapods were conducted. Incident waves at the toe include nonbreaking, breaking and broken random wave conditions. A empirical formula to predict runup elevation of rubble-mound structure with 1:1.5 front slope was proposed on the basis of physical model test results using a surf similarity parameter. The test results from this study were compared with those from van der Meer and Stam(1992).

최근의 이상기후에 따른 악영향으로 항만구조물의 설계시 중요한 요소인 심해설계파가 증고되었다. 최근, 증고된 설계파에 대해 마루높이의 절감 및 단면축소에 따른 경제적 효과를 극대화시키기 위하여, 사석경사제형 제체 상부에 이중곡면 반파공을 적용한 각종 구조물형식이 도입되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통해 월파와 안정성 검토를 수행하여 방파제의 최적 단면을 선정하였다. 본연구의 수리모형실험에 적용된 단면형식은 총 4가지로 각각에 대해 월파량과 반사율을 측정하여 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 TTP로 피복된 제체 상부에 이중곡면 반파공을 설치한 단면이 가장 우수한 단면으로 선정되었다. 또한, 이중곡면 반파호안의 계획과 설계시 체계적인 검토와 합리적인 단면계획을 수립하여 이를 통해 마루높이 절감에 따른 경제적 효과의 극대화를 기대할 수 있다.

Apart from implementing hardware solutions like raising the crest freeboard of coastal structures to efficiently counter wave-overtopping, there is a simultaneous requirement for software-driven disaster mitigation strategies. These tactics involve the swift and accurate dissemination of wave-overtopping information to the inland regions of coastal zones, enabling the regulation of evacuation procedures and movement. In this study, a method was proposed to estimate wave-overtopping by utilizing the temporal variation of wave heights exceeding the structure's crown level, with the aim of developing an on-site wave measurement system for providing wave-overtopping information in the field. Laboratory model experiments were conducted on vertical seawall structures to measure wave-overtopping volumes and wave runup heights under different wave conditions and structural freeboard variations. By assuming that the velocity of water inundation on the top of the structure during wave-overtopping events is equivalent to the long-wave velocity, an overtopping discharge coefficient was introduced. This coefficient was utilized to estimate the rate of wave-overtopping based on the temporal changes in wave runup heights measured at the top of the structure. Upon reasonably calculating the overtopping discharge coefficient, it was verified that the estimation of wave-overtopping could be achieved solely based on the wave runup heights.

In determination of the crest height of a vertical structure against attacking of obliquely incident waves, most of existing studies have suggested to use the overtopping reduction factor due to incident angles. However, they have not considered the amplification of wave heights and the spatial distribution of wave overtopping. In this study, a spatial distribution of overtopping due to the amplification of wave heights along a vertical structure is investigated experimentally. It is recommended that the crest height can be determined by the same manner as that for normally incident waves up to 3 significant wave lengths from the one end of the structure. However, the rest part of the structure can be done by employing the overtopping reduction factor with considering the amplification of wave heights and the spatial distribution of wave overtopping.

A reliability analysis model f3r studying the influence of joint distribution of wave heights and periods on wave un-up is presented in this paper. From the definition of failure mode related to wave run-up, a reliability function may be formulated which can be considered uncertainties of water level. In particular, the reliability analysis model can be directly taken into account statistical properties and distributions of wave periods by considering wave period in the reliability function to be a random variable. Also, variations of wave height distribution conditioned to mean wave periods can be taken into account correctly. By comparison of results of additional reliability analysis using extreme distributions with those resulted from joint distribution of wave height and periods, it is found that probabilities of failure evaluated by the latter is larger than those by the former. Although the freeboard of sloped-breakwater structures can be determined by extreme distribution based on the long-term measurements, it may be necessary to investigate additionally into wave run-up by using the present reliability analysis model formulated to consider joint distribution of a single storm event. In addition, it may be found that the effect of spectral bandwidth parameter on reliability index may be little, but the effect of wave height distribution conditioned to mean wave periods is straightforward. Therefore, it may be confirmed that effects of wave periods on the probability of failure of wave run-up may be taken into account through the conditional distribution of wave heights. Finally, the probabilities of failure with respect to freeboard of sloped-breakwater structures can be estimated by which the rational determination of crest level of sloped-breakwater structures may be possible.

Due to recent climate change, big typhoon and heavy rainfall happen frequently not only in Korea but also all over the world. It leads to collapse of levee by extraordinary flood. It lead to collapse of levees by extraordinary flood. These natural disasters give the life and property damages in near region. In this study, it was performed that a stability in levee using seepage analysis. It has been evaluated hydraulic gradient of exit zone according to variations in levee crest width, gradient. As a result, it showed that hydraulic gradient of exit zone was decreased due to increase of levee crest width and gradient, and it was evaluated that vertical hydraulic gradient was decreased than that of the horizontal hydraulic gradient.

Kweon et al. (2004) proposed the calculation method of Expected Overtopping Probability (EOP) that considers the occurrence frequency distribution of real sea tide. The method was applied for the comparison of the EOP of Mukho and Busan sea. They showed that the tide occurrence frequency had a great effect on the EOP and the value becomes smaller as the standard deviation of the frequency comes bigger. The present study following Kweon et al.'s method estimates the EOP characteristic of the crest elevation located on East, South, and West sea. The study shows that the EOP becomes smaller following East, South, West sea in order.

본 연구에서는 개량형 공압식 가동보를 대상으로 가동보의 기립 각도변화에 따른 잠김흐름에 대한 가동보의 유량계수를 산정하고 흐름특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 보의 기립각도의 변화에 대한 위어높이와 위어길이의 비(L/W)가 작을수록 하류수두($H_2$)가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 위어마루에서 하류수면까지의 높이와 위어마루에서 상류 수면고 높이의 비($h_t/H$)에 대한 유량비($Q_s/Q_1$) 변화는 $h_t/H$가 1에 가까울수록 감소하였다. 또한 동일한 $h_t/H$에서 Villemonte(1947)와 Tullis(2007)의 결과와 매우 잘 일치하는 경향을 보여주었다. 따라서 보 하류에서의 수심은 상류보다 작지만 보를 통과하는 흐름으로 인해 하류 유속이 빠르게 나타났으며, 유량이 증가할수록 상 하류 수위차는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 같은 유량조건인 경우 하류수두는 L/W가 클수록 크게 증가하였다.
