Phenomena induced by waves, such as overtopping, sediment transport, vibration/fluctuation and destruction of structures are highly influenced by the directionality of wave propagation. These phenomena are often dominated by non-linearity, and so hydraulic model experiments are widely adopted for stability analysis rather than numerical modeling, Thus, stability ofrubblc mound breakwaters(RMB) due to wavc directionality was experimentally investigated in this study. The incident wave angle $30^{\circ}$ was found more risky on the damage rate of RMB under directional regular waves, and the incident wave angle $40^{\circ}$ was found relatively risky under directional irregular waves. These results clarified the wave directionality effect on the stability ofRMB, These facts were found correspondent to the occurrence of the peak between $20^{\circ}$-$40^{\circ}$ with the directional frequency distribution of lIlO maximum water particle velocity.

Gravel is commonly employed to enhance the bearing capacity of foundations and provide stable support for structures. However, effectively assessing the ground characteristics in the presence of gravel poses significant challenges. This study aims to compare the resolution of ground containing gravel using electrical resistivity, elastic wave surveys, and ground penetration radar (GPR). Nondestructive methods are applied at construction sites where soil improvement is carried out using gravel. The experiments focus on shallow depths, and the obtained results cover depths up to 2 m. Both the electrical resistivity and elastic wave techniques exhibit similar behavior in their findings, indicating comparable outcomes. However, GPR has limitations in observing the characteristics of ground with gravel. Dynamic cone-penetration tests were conducted to validate these findings. The electrical resistivity and elastic wave profiles exhibited similar behaviors in localized areas, further supporting their compatibility and reliability.

최근 통계자료에 의하면 국내 제방붕괴 유형 중 11.5%가 제체 불안정에 의한 붕괴로 보고되고 있다. 홍수시 노후화된 제방이 붕괴하여 발생하는 인명 및 재산피해는 점차 증가하고 있는 상황이어서, 이에 대한 제방 시설물의 보강 및 안전관리 대책이 필요한 상황이다. 하천시설물 주변의 흐름특성에 의하여 세굴이 발생할 수 있는 지점에는 보호공을 설치하여 시설물의 안정성을 확보하도록 하천설계기준 해설(2009)에서 제안하고 있다. 그러나 구조물을 보완하는 보호공의 공종 및 규격 등을 설계하기 위한 세부적인 설계지침이 미흡하여 외국의 연구 또는 설계사례를 참고하여 국내 하천에 적용하고 있는 상황이다. 해외의 연구사례를 살펴보면, 설계공식에 적용된 설계인자인 유속 및 수심 등을 1차원 단면평균값을 활용하는 경우가 많아서 복잡한 하천의 흐름특성을 반영하기에 미흡한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 하천해석에서 주로 활용되고 있는 수치모형을 이용하여 실험수로의 흐름을 재현하고 수리실험을 통하여 관측한 유속 및 수위분포 결과와 비교하였다. 2차원 수치모형으로는 RMA2, CCHE2D, FLUMEN 등의 상용모형과 최근 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 Approximate Riemann 기법을 적용하여 개발된 유한체적모형을 적용하였다. 제방 부근에서 형성되는 흐름을 상세하게 모의하기 위하여 국내 하천시설물 설계에서 많이 활용되고 있는 FLOW-3D 모형을 적용하여 3차원 모의결과와 수리실험결과를 비교하였다. 수리실험에서 관측된 사석호안공의 이탈시 흐름현상을 재현하여 호안공 이탈에 영향을 미치는 국부유속 및 전단응력을 산정하여 호안설계에 적합한 설계인자를 분석하였다. 연구결과를 활용하여 사석호안공 설계 기법에 적용되는 수치모형을 통하여 산정되는 설계인자의 정확성을 향상시킴으로써, 정량적이고 합리적인 사석호안공 설계기법개발에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The levee protect lifes, houses, and properties by blocking overflow of river. The revetment is forced to be covered on the slope of levee in order to prevent erosion. The stability of revetment is very important enough to directly connected to the stability of levee. In this study, the weak points of revetment on meandering channel were found by movable revetment experiment and the velocity and the water surface elevation (WSE) were measured at main points. The 3-D numerical simulations were performed under same conditions with experiment. And unclear flow characteristics by the limit of measuring instruments were analyzed through numerical simulation. Consequently, the section of large wall shear stress and the failure section are almost the same. Despite of small wall shear stress, the revetments located at right bank were carried away because of circulation zone due to secondary flow by meandering. With existing riprap design formula, the sizes of riprap determined using maximum local velocity were 1.5~4.7 times greater than them using mean velocity. As a result of this study, it is necessary to calculate the size of riprap in other ways for meandering and straight channel. At a later study, if the weighted value considered the radius of curvature and shape of hydraulic structure is applied to riprap design formula, it is expected that the size of revetment was evaluated rationally and accurately.

Probabilistic and deterministic analyses are implemented for the armor units of rubble foundation mound of composite breakwaters which is needed to protect the upright section against the scour of foundation mounds. By a little modification and incorporation of the previous empirical formulas that has commonly been applied to design the armor units of foundation mound, a new type formula of stability number has been suggested which is capable of taking into account slopes of foundation mounds, damage ratios of armor units, and incident wave numbers. The new proposed formula becomes mathematically identical with the previous empirical formula under the same conditions used in the developing process. Deterministic design have first been carried out to evaluate the minimum weights of armor units for several conditions associated with a typical section of composite breakwater. When the slopes of foundation mound become steepening and the incident wave numbers are increasing, the bigger armor units more than those from the previous empirical formula should be required. The opposite trends however are shown if the damage ratios is much more allowed. Meanwhile, the reliability analysis, which is one of probabilistic models, has been performed in order to quantitatively verify how the armor unit resulted from the deterministic design is stable. It has been confirmed that 1.2% of annual encounter probability of failure has been evaluated under the condition of 1% damage ratio of armor units for the design wave of 50 years return period. By additionally calculating the influence factors of the related random variables on the failure probability due to those uncertainties, it has been found that Hudson's stability coefficient, significant wave height, and water depth above foundation mound have sequentially been given the impacts on failure regardless of the incident wave angles. Finally, sensitivity analysis has been interpreted with respect to the variations of random variables which are implicitly involved in the formula of stability number for armor units of foundation mound. Then, the probability of failure have been rapidly decreased as the water depth above foundation mound are deepening. However, it has been shown that the probability of failure have been increased according as the berm width of foundation mound are widening and wave periods become shortening.

In general, the values of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation when breakwater and offshore structures of port and harbor facilities were designed in Korea. but by large-scale triaxial test(specimen diameter 30cm, specimen height 60cm) carried out in Korean Water Resources Corporation in 2001, for the first time in korea, shear strength properties of rubble stones are evaluated directly. These are compared with the Japanese empirical recommendation. Therefore, the value of shear strength properties of rubble stones have been usually given quoting from Japanese empirical recommendation without laboratory or in-situ tests, but the results of this study state that shear strength properties of rubble stone can be rationally determined and shear behavior characteristics of rubble stone can be invesgated by large-scale triaxial test

Critical and allowable shear stress acting on the mattress revetment, is presented in this study. First of all, shear stress at each spot is computed when the hydraulic power act on the waterway. Secondly, median diameter of the filling rocks is computed using shear stress and Shields coefficient which are used to decide the critical motion of the particle. Finally, the range of critical and allowable shear stress is estimated which meet the particle stability and indicated that the mattress is a stable hydraulic structure in comparison with the riprap. Therefore the required median diameter of riprap is three times higher than that of mattress. Contrarily, this study also analyzed that resisting power of mattress to shear stress is three times higher than that of riprap on the same size.
