Under the groundwater level, the tunnel face is affected by the seepage force and the groundwater flow may cause a trouble to the tunnel support systems. The appropriate methods of analysis and design in the tunnel face and the lining, considering groundwater flow according to tunnel drainage condition are presented in this thesis. First, the effect of seepage on the stability of tunnel face was studied. Seepage force was estimated by the 3-D finite element analysis and the stability of tunnel face was checked by analytical method. Furthermore, using the finite difference method the stress and displacement on the face were computed for either case, where the seepage force is or is not considered, and the effect of seepage on the tunnel face stability was evaluated. Second, the effect of seepage force on the tunnel lining when construction is finished and steady state seepage flow occurs was studied and a design methodology considering seepage effect was made. Consequently, in case where the groundwater level remains almost unchanged and the steady state groundwater flow occurs, the proper countermeasures for face staility are required according to the condition of groundwater flow. Moreover, the tunnel lining should be designed and constructed considering the seepage force occuring by the groundwater flow toward the tunnel linings.

새만금은 농업용지 확보 등 다양한 용도의 토지이용을 목적으로 방조제 공사를 수행하였으며, 새만금 종합개발계획(Master Plan, OPC, 2011)에 의하여 호내의 준설을 계획하고 있다. 그러나 방조제 준공 후 새만금 호내의 수질오염 문제가 지속적으로 발생되어 왔다. 수질오염의 문제를 해결하기위해서 강변저류지 설치, 하수종말 처리장 등 다양한 구조적 대책이 수립되고 시행되었지만, 수질개선 효과는 상대적으로 미비하였다(Kim et al, 2016; KRCC, 2016). 본 연구에서는 새만금 호내의 수질개선을 위하여, 다양한 배수갑문 운영에 따른 수질인자의 잔존률 및 하상의 변화를 SCHISM-CoSiNE(Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model and Carbon, Silicate, Nitrogen Ecosystem model) 모형을 통하여 검토하고자 한다. 수치모형의 하상변동 및 수질변화에 대한 정확한 수치계산 여부를 판단하기 위하여 van Rijn(1987) 실험 및 새만금호내의 수질 관측자료(DO, T-N, T-P, 온도, 염도, 새만금유역 통합환경관리시스템)를 이용하여 수치모형 검증을 수행하였고 10% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다. 배수갑문 운영기록(Jeong et al., 2018)을 참조하여 배수갑문 운영을 재현하였으며, 지형은 기 수립된 MP 내 새만금 종합개발계획이 완료된 시점인 2030년을 기준으로 하였다. 수치모의를 통하여, 배수갑문 운영 및 계절의 변화에 따른 최심 하상변동고 변화 및 하상변동량을 확인하여 침식 퇴적 구간을 구분하였고, 호내의 잔존하는 수질인자의 농도를 통하여 수질개선 효과를 평가하여 수질측면에서 최적의 배수갑문 운영방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 배수갑문 운영이 새만금 호내의 수질 및 지형에 미치는 영향에 대한 기초적인 연구이지만 향후에는 다양한 수질인자 및 시나리오를 고려한다면 보다 근본적인 수질오염 해결방안으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Korea's water transmission system is operated by the nonpressure flow method that flows from highlands to lowlands due to the nature of Korea with many mountainous areas. In order to store water in the highlands, the water pumps are installed and operated. However, In this process, a lot of electrical energy is consumed. therefore, it is necessary to minimize the energy consumption by optimizing the size and operation schedule of the water pumps. The optimal capacity and operation method of the water pump are affected by the size of the tank (distributing reservoir). Therefore, in order to economically design and operate the water transmission system, it is reasonable to consider both the construction cost of the water pump and the tank and the long-term operation cost of the water pump at the step of determining the scale of the initial facilities. In this study, the optimum design model was developed that can optimize both the optimal size of the water pump and the tank and the operation scheduling of the water pump by using the genetic algorithm (GA). The developed model was verified by applying it to the water transmission systems operated in Korea. It is expected that this study will help to estimate the optimal size of the water pump and the tank in the initial design of the water transmission system.

The objective of this study is to propose the drainage system that has been improved the workability, waterproofing and drainage performance to treat the leakage from the cement concrete structures in underground. It is improved that the pipe for conveying ground leak in the existing drainage system had the problem in workability and waterproof. The drainage systems with the improved pipe for conveying ground leak were constructed in conventional concrete lining tunnels to evaluate the workability, waterproofing and drainage. The waterproof and the drainage performance of the drainage system was evaluated by injecting 1,000 ml of red water in the back of the drainage system at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 11 weeks, 14 weeks, 17 weeks and 23 weeks. During 6 months of field performance test, the average daily temperature of the tunnel site was measured from $-12.4^{\circ}C$ to $19.7^{\circ}C$. The daily minimum temperature was $-17.2^{\circ}C$ and the daily maximum temperature was $26.7^{\circ}C$. There was no problem in waterproof and drainage performance on the pipe for conveying ground leak and the drainage system during 6 months for field performance test. It is concluded that the improved drainage system can be applied to various cement concrete underground structures where leakage occurs, and has little seasonal effect.

In this study, the effect of pH and temperature on the adsorption behavior of acid mine drainage (AMD) on coal mine drainage sludge (CMDS) has been investigated during the treatment of coal mine drainage (CMD) by electrical purification method. The pH$_{zero\;point\;charge}$ (pH$_{zpc}$) of CMDS was 5. The removal ratio of copper, zinc, cadmium, iron were increased according to the increase of pH value. The adsorption amount of copper showed 0.64 mg g$^{-1}$ sludge. It was independent of pH value. The adsorption amount of the other metals showed l.l times when pH was 3. The adsorption amount of chromium was a little bit increased at the pH value higher than 7 due to a small amount of the chromium was eluted as $Cr(OH)_6^{3-}$. The amount of metals' absorption were decreased according to temperature was increase at pH value was 3. The selectivity order was Cd>Fe > Zn > Cu. The amount of absorption showed q$_{max}$ Cu 2.747 mg g$^{-1}$ andZn 2.525 mg g$^{-1}$ when pH value higher than 5. It was independent of temperature.

Finite element analyses were performed on large-sized (>5000 ton) stainless steel circular water reservoirs subjected to earthquake loading for different stainless steel materials. The earthquake load inputs for the analyses were selected by the guidelines in the Korean Standards Association specification KS B 6283. Seismic effects can be heavily dependent on water capacity, especially for large reservoirs. The numerical results show the interactions between the different load combinations and other parameters such as the water capacity and stainless steel materials. Structural performance is also evaluated for the various load combinations.

A finite difference program with 3-D governing equation expanded from 1-D self-weight consolidation is developed to analyze the consolidation behavior of surface dredged soil with horizontal drains. Various boundary conditions with horizontal drains and seepage pressure of pore water infiltrated to the drains are considered in the program. A laboratory soil chamber experiment for the consolidation of dredged soil is performed to validate the program and the measured settlement-time result is compared with the one predicted by the program. The influence of design conditions of horizontal drains such as horizontal installation spacing, installation depth and number of drain layers, on the consolidation is analyzed.

AMD (Acid mine drainage) from disused mines is one or the most significant pollutant problems to make harmful effect to human health. We demonstrated the mechanism of resolution and adsorption reaction for arsenic, manganese and zink from the soil and mine tailings which were located in the vicinity of a disused mine in Kyoungnam area. The resolution experiments were carried with a column test f3r 45 days continuously. Metal chemical forms in water were changed with the condition of solution pH and ORP (oxidation-reduction potential). Metal chemical forms affected on the reaction of resolution and adsorption of metals in water environments. Even though the sampling was carried in very closed location, there was significant different results of pollution level and ORP changes in terms of column operations. Hence It was important to note the pH and ORP in AMD to evaluate a risk assessment and a soil management using monitoring metals. When we operate AMD management with the mechanism of resolution and adsorption it can be achieved better economic solution.

영산강 하구에서 담수유입에 따른 저염수의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 EFDC 모델을 수행하였다. 모델의 수행은 홍수기 배수갑문 확장 전 후로 나누어 수행하였으며, 모델의 마지막 담수유입시점으로부터 16일 후 해역이 준 정상상태에 도달하기까지 저염수의 확산양상을 시간 경과순으로 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 담수유입이 멈춘 후에 저염수는 방류시점으로부터 약 6시간 경과 후에 배수갑문 전면 해역으로부터 해측으로 최대의 확산을 보였으며, 약 2~7일 후 염분의 분포 양상은 담수가 유입되기 전으로 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 한편, 배수갑문을 확장하기 전보다 배수갑문을 확장한 후에 담수유입 후 해역이 준 정상상태에 도달하는 시간이 더욱 짧았는데, 이는 시간당 방류량의 증가가 난류혼합을 강하게 하고, 해측으로 더 멀리 확산된 저염수는 외해수에 의해 보다 쉽게 혼합되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 해역에서 일정한 양의 담수가 유입되는 경우, 저염수의 확산은 시간당 방류량이 크고 방류지속시간이 짧을수록 해역이 준정상상태에 도달하는 시간이 더욱 짧아질 것으로 사료된다.

A series of consolidated drained and untrained cubical triaxial tests were performed to investigate three dimensional strength characteristics of compressible sand. All specimens, which are formed by deposisting a fine sand loosely, were used. Failure strength in terms of effective stress analysis was greatly influenced by the variation of intermediate principal stress and so was failure criterion The adjusted effective frictional angles obtained by the stress state projected on the same octahedral plane showed almost same value, while the measured effective frictional angles showed considerable difference depending on the drainage conditions. Results of total stress analysis in undrained test turned out to fit Tresca's failure criterion well, but results of effective stress analysis turned out to fit Lade's failure criterion well.
