This study investigates the properties of light weight foamed concrete (LWC) designed with various content of fine grains (FG). Test showed that LWC containing diverse powder materials with addition, more than 15% of FG, tended to decrease the fluidity of fresh concrete. 10% of FG content in LWC exhibited 4mm in sinking depth, which is the lowest value. This value dramatically increased at more than 15% of addition. However the concrete incorporating LSP proportionally increased the sinking depth in overall. As for the strength, the values of all specimens were under standardization of KS, except for the concrete adding 5 and 10% of FG. Apparent density of LWC showed the lowest value when used 10% of FG which was satisfied the 0.5 grade in KS. For the thermal conductivity, it was also indicated at 0.5 grade in KS, which is under $0.160W/(m{\cdot}k)$. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that adding 10% of FG in LWC was effective in the aspects of recycling of materials, cost effectiveness and quality.

More recently, there have been significant changes in the forms of channels due to runoff characteristics driven by climate changes and other alterations in basin/channel environments. Particularly, increasing local deposition in major channels is being observed nationwide. Of such phenomena, it is noteworthy that flood-plains show unidirectional growth and lowering of channels within compound channels in the form of a high-flow plain. These changes are supposed to affect management of the river ecology as well as flood control. In this study, the research on channels in Korea confirmed that the phenomenon of local deposition in those channels is actually taking place, rendering a problem to be urgently addressed. Previous studies on bed changes have been focused on low channels based on bed materials distributed over the channels. However, this research has proved that surface-layer deposition of a high-flow plain is closely related with changes in the conditions of ground surfaces and, ultimately, affects the bed of the entire channel as well. According to the intensive research on the condition of the high-flow plain of the mouth of the Han River, the silt deposited in the high-flow plain was the main cause of settlement/growth of vegetation. And this leads to landforming along with woods-forming, disturbing flood control as well as the normal river ecology.

The Hangang river estuary, which is a natural estuary without structures such as estuary barrage, is an ecological pathway connecting the sea and rivers. Accordingly, Hangang river estuary has various species, and there is very valuable. Sediment classification in Hangang river estuary is three-dimensionally and diversely is distributed. Sediment classification in Hangang river estuary is also sensitively changed according to various factors such as climate change and river development. It is typically cause to landform and to develop a compound cross section. In Janghang wetland, the plant success is remarkable according to the morphological change at river bed. The purpose of this study is to identify the mechanism of wetland formation based on the observation on-site. As a result of the observation, Janghang wetland where was artificially created, has been grown according to the river bed change based on the flow rate and the plant success. The viscous surface layer material(fine grains of wash rod properties), which is not the main material(sand) of the river bed, but sub-materials of river bed, jas been settled on the pioneer plants(bolboschoenus planiculmis, etc.). It is an important role in the growth of a compound cross section and a wetland. After the wetland developed to the compound cross section, it is observed that the pioneer plants are transferred to other plant species.
