More than 80 % of agricultural reservoirs are old facilities over 50 years old, and safety and function declines occur. As a result, safety accidents such as the collapse of the reservoir have occurred. Precise safety diagnosis is conducted in advance to prevent accidents such as reservoir collapse, and Water resources facility improvement project are implemented based on priority. However, the priority of the business is selected based on the subjective judgment of the facility manager. In this study, we set 80 hypotheses based on the results of precision safety diagnosis and decision-making examples of existing Water resources facility improvement project and selected 45 variables using correlation analysis and significance test. Using logistic regression analysis, the final 21 variables were selected and a decision support model was presented, and the classification accuracy of the model was 86.8 %. In this research, the part that presented the quantitative index for decision support when selecting the Water resources facility improvement project has important significance.

Considering the contribution of industrial facilities to the national economy, securing operability against earthquakes is very important. However, the basic concept of current seismic design mainly allows ductile behavior of facilities against large-scale earthquakes and only considers structural safety for the purpose of preventing collapse. In order to secure the operability of industrial facilities, the level of seismic performance to maintain operability may vary depending on the structural behavior characteristics of the industrial facility, and a seismic design method is needed to satisfy this. In this study, a ground storage tanks Nonlinear seismic behavior characteristics(R-μ-T) were analyzed through nonlinear response history analysis, and based on this, a new reliability-based, performance-based seismic design method was proposed.

There are two strategies to cope with the troubles in landfill site after closure. The first method is active in a way that the wastes are dug up and the recyclable materials are reutilized, meanwhile the materials not recyclable are incinerated in order to minimize the volume of residues to be disposed of. The second method is rather passive and defensive in a way that the source of contamination, that is, buried wastes are not treated. Instead, the transport of leaking leachate and gases generated from the wastes are intercepted and controlled. In this study, as a passive way of the efficient leachate blocking process, applicabilities of geocrete and soluble sodium silicate as a substitute to control leachate leaking from landfill sidewall were investigated. In case of compression test, the strength of mixture I (Geocrete:Sodium silicate=1:3.9 v/v) and mixture II (Geocrete:Sodium silicate=1:2.5 v/v), even after 7 days' curing was higher than the minimum allowance to tolerate the loading(5 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Soaking in the acid fur 4 days and 7 days respectively, the compressive strength of the specimens reduced seriously. The toxicity of geocrete is not detected through the bioassay test, once it was mixed with sodium silicate and the complex was formed. The hydraulic conductivity of the mixtures even after 7 days' curing was lower than the threshold limit $(1.0\times10_{-7}cm/s)$.

In this study, to prevent possible collapse caused by hydraulic or mechanical instability, liquid nitrogen injection method is developed and implemented at the tip of drilling auger of steel pipe propulsion tunneling. In this study, 1/5-scale model auger and sand chamber were manufactured. The prototype diameter of steel pile (or casing) is assumed about 1,000 mm. For the frictional sandy soils and plastic weathered soils, liquid nitrogen injection methods were tested varying water contents of the soils. For the induced hydraulic instability, the ground near the drilling auger was frozen within approximately 5 minutes preventing mechanical collapse and water infiltration. Securing stability of steel pile propulsion tunneling using liquid nitrogen was much more effective for which the water content of the soil somewhat exceeds the optimum water content.

This research aims to define influence factors to perform an optimized section design and evaluate tunnel collapse risk during construction using Delphi technique. A total of five upper classification systems were constructed through literature review, pervious research analysis, and brainstorming of expert group for establishing influence factors. The $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ Delphi survey process was proceeded by panel group which is consisted 21 experts to prevent errors and bias in the expert judgement process. In Delphi $1^{st}$ survey, a total of 22 influence factors candidates were derived through open-ended questionnaire. In Delphi $2^{nd}$ survey, questionnaire was proceeded based on 7-point Likert scale method. In order to verify the validity, CVR (Content Validity Ration) analysis was performed to exclude inappropriate candidates. In the $3^{rd}$ survey, verification of influence factors was proceeded once more with the result of $2^{nd}$ survey, and lastly, a total of 14 influence factors was derived by CVR and COV (Content Validity Ration) analysis for response of experts.

River-side Embankment collapse involves various causes. The embankment collapse due to internal erosion around embedded structures reaches up to more than 10% in Korea. Many studies are being attempted to prevent from the collapse of the embankment rooted from overtopping and instability as well as internal erosion. One of them is the study on the application of biopolymers. The application of biopolymers to soils are divided into enhancing strength, vegetation and erosion resistance. This study investigated the effect of biopolymer treated soil on erosion resistance. The main goal of the study is to obtain basic data for real-scale experiments to verify the effectiveness of biopolymer treated soil embankment including a review of the collapse pattern in the model embankment with various test conditions. The optimized experimental conditions were selected by examining the erosion patterns according to each induction path with three compaction degree of the model embankment. As a result of the experiment, the internal erosion rate in the embankment to which the biopolymer treated soil was applied is greatly reduced, and it could be concluded that it might be applied to the actual embankment. However, in this study, the conclusion was drawn only within the scaled-down model embankment. In order to practically apply the biopolymer treated soil to the embankment, the study considering the scale effect would be needed.

Coastal structures, constructed for preventing coastal slope erosion, often causes the scour on the boundary between the coastal structure and the sea-bed, which might lead to collapse of coastal structures. To prevent the collapse, the usual upright block type coastal structures can be modified to other forms or systems of coastal structures. To validate the performance of the proposed systems, it is necessary to conduct high cost hydraulic experiments. If numerical modeling can be performed prior to the hydraulic experiments and the performance of the proposed systems is analyzed numerically in advance, the expenses can be reduced significantly by optimizing the number of cases for conducting the experiments. In this study, a fluid-structure interaction analysis procedure is proposed for modeling the hydraulic experiments of costal structures using the finite element package, LS-DYNA. As can be found in the usual hydraulic experiments, fluid velocities of potential scour locations are monitored and analyzed in detail for four types of coastal structures, block, step, trapezoid and rubble mound.

When we have entered high economic growth since 1970s, many archaeological excavations were performed all over the country. Excavated objects composed of variable materials are inevitably subjected to deformations owing to surrounding environments and storage conditions. Although the importance of conservation treatment of the objects is greatly increased, a few conservation laboratories are there comparing with excavation groups. The metallic objects excavated are very unstable and deformable state. So it is important not to allow iron objects, especially cast iron, to dry out once excavated. Because the corrosion reactions on the surface proceed rapidly, the objects may be destroyed at the moment. The conservation procedures of the excavated metallic objects are as follows: (1)It is stable on-site storage method for objects to keep vinyl film with envelop or to immerse alkaline solution to prevent the environmental changes. (2)The objects must be treated at once under suitable methods in the conservation laboratory after excavation. (3)The continued existence of objects depends on environmental factors such as relative humidities, regular inspection, light etc.

최근 국가시설물에서는 집중호우 등으로 인한 대상 부지 내의 홍수 발생 시 주요시설물에 기능 마비가 발생할 수 있고, 궁극적으로는 대규모 사고로 이어질 수 있기 때문에 외부침수에 대비할 수 있는 위험도 분석이 필요하다. 대상 부지에서의 외부침수의 원인으로서는 LIP(Local Intensive Precipitation)에 의한 홍수 발생조건, 인근에 댐, 제방 등이 위치한 경우 이들 시설물의 붕괴에 따른 홍수류의 원전 유입, 지진해일/폭풍해일에 의한 바다로부터의 홍수 유입 등이 대표적인 예이다. 따라서 대상 부지 및 그 SOC시설물의 안전도를 높은 수준에서 관리하기 위해서는 극한홍수가 유입될 때 침수심, 침수유속, 침수시간, 침수강도 등의 재해도를 분석하여야하고, 이들 SOC시설물의 취약도 평가를 실시하고 재해도와 취약도를 결합한 연계분석을 통하여 위험도를 재평가하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오에 대해서 LIP(극한강우) 조건을 빈도별 분석하였고, 기후변화에 의한 가능최대강우량(PMP)의 재포락을 실시하고, 이를 확률강우조건과 비교 검토하였다. 대상부지에서의 RCP4.5와 RCP8.5 조건하에서 발생빈도-지속시간-극한강우량과의 상관도를 제시하였다. 지형분석의 고도화 및 수문분석을 통한 LIP를 이용한 극한 홍수량의 산정을 실시하였고, 수리분석에 의한 극한홍수조건의 침수해석을 실시하였다. 침수해석을 통한 수리변량(침수심, 침수강도, 침수지속시간 등)을 산정하였고, 침수해석결과에 주요지점별 발생빈도-지속시간-침수위의 관계를 재해도로 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과 집중호우 조건하에서 국가 주요시설물에서의 침수심, 침수강도 등에 대한 새로운 재해도 곡선을 산정함으로써 중요한 SOC시설물의 내수 설계, 홍수 방지기능 설계, 홍수 방지 대책 및 절차의 고도화 및 홍수 저감 기능 평가에 기준이 될 것으로 판단된다.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화에 따른 태풍발생빈도 증가 및 이상강우, 유역내 토지이용의 고도화로 인한 유역특성 변화로 유역내 홍수량은 증가하고 홍수 도달시간이 짧아지는 양상을 보이고 있다. 이로 인해 홍수에 따른 치수방어 대책으로 하천의 제방축조 및 보강방법이 주로 채택되었으나, 최근에는 홍수시 직접적인 하천내 수위 저감을 위한 방안으로 하도내 저류효과를 확대하기 위한 보 설치 및 하도정비를 통한 하도준설을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 본류 하상저하에 따른 지류하천의 하상변동(두부침식)으로 하도내 세굴 침식에 의한 하천시설물 피해 사례가 늘게 되면서 과거 홍수에 의한 제방월류 피해에서 하상변동에 의한 하천시설물 붕괴로 하천피해 양상이 바뀌게 되었다. 이와 같은 피해를 방지하기 위해 지류하천 합류부에 하상변동 방지책으로 하상유지공을 설치하고 있지만 국내에는 이와 관련된 구체적 설계기준 및 연구가 미비하여 일선에서는 아직도 하천구조물의 용도가 다른 보나 낙차공의 설계기준을 준용하는 등 하상유지공 용도에 특성화된 설계기준(최적 위치선정 및 형식 등)이 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 감천(낙동강 지류하천)유역내 하도준설 및 홍수로 인한 하상유지공의 유실에 따른 지류하천의 피해사례를 통해 수치해석결과 및 실측자료를 바탕으로 하상유지공 계획의 중요성을 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 하도준설로 생성된 지류합류부의 단차구간에 안정성을 확보한 최적의 하상유지공 위치 및 형식 등을 선정 검토하고 설치 유 무에 따른 유수흐름 및 하상변화양상을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 향후 하도굴착 및 하상유지공 계획시 고려해야할 사항(지형현황 및 수리특성 등)을 인지하고 극한상황에서도 안전한 하상유지공의 위치 및 형식 등을 선정하는데 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
