우리나라 친환경 에너지 생산의 주요 축을 담당하고 있는 양수발전댐의 홍수 시 정교한 수계운영을 위한 방안으로 강우-유량-댐 수위 매트릭스(이하, PDH Matrix)를 개발하고 양수발전소상-하부댐 연계 운영에 따른 홍수 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 대상지역은 강원도 양양군 서면에 위치하고 있는 국내 최대 양수발전소인 양양양수 발전소로 총 저수용량 92만 m³의 콘크리트 중력식댐으로 유역면적은 약 125 km²이다. 양양양수 발전댐의 수계운영을 위한 PDH Matrix는 지속기간별 강수량 규모에 따른 홍수량 및 댐 최고수위 추정치를 판단할 수 있는 조견표로 강우규모 30 - 360 mm (30분 간격, 12개 강우규모) 및 지속기간 1-24시간 (1시간 간격, 24개 지속기간)인 총 288개의 강우조건별 홍수수문곡선을 개발하였다. 개발된 홍수수문곡선을 입력자료로 기존 댐 운영 방식인 AutoROM을 적용하여 저수지 홍수추적을 HEC-ResSim 모형으로 수행하고 최종적으로 개별 강우사상에 대한 강수량-유량-댐 수위 테이블을 작성하였다. 홍수기 댐 운영에 따른 최고수위는 초기 댐 수위조건에 따라 변동되므로 초기 댐 수위 조건(EL. 115 - 117 m, 1 m 간격)별 PDH Matrix를 각 각 개발하였다. 또한, 양수발전소의 특성상 상부댐으로 양수 또는 발전 방류에 따라 홍수 시 댐의 치수안전성에 미치는 영향이 크므로 상, 하부댐 운영에 따른 홍수영향 분석을 수행하였다. 구체적으로 하부댐에서 상부댐으로 양수 시 시간에 따른 하부댐 저수지의 수위변화 양상을 추정하였으며 극한적 홍수상황을 고려하기 위하여 상부 저수지가 만수인 상황에서 불가피하게 하부댐으로 방류가 필요한 상황에 대비한 홍수기 운영방안을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 하부댐-상부댐을 연계하여 운영하는 양수발전댐의 홍수기 수계 운영 방안을 수립한 첫 연구로 향후 연구에서 개발한 강우-유량-댐 수위 매트릭스(PDH Matrix) 작성 기법을 타 양수발전소 수계 운영 시 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 급속한 지하공간의 개발로 인해 도로함몰 등 지반침하가 지속적으로 발생되어 이에 대한 안전문제가 끊임없이 제기됨에 따라, 원인규명 및 대책방안을 두고 다양한 조사 및 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 지하개발 시 필연적으로 발생하는 유출지하수 내 지하수와 함께 토사가 유출될 경우 지반함몰이나 붕괴로 이어져 대규모 재해가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 현장에서 계측되는 데이터를 통해 사전에 지반침하를 감지할 수 있는 경보 시스템이 마련될 필요가 있으며, 이에 대한 기술개발과 관리기준의 변화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 지하공간 개발 시 적용되는 지하수 관리 매뉴얼 중 가장 중요한 부분인 계측관리 부분에 관해 문제점을 분석하고 이를 보완하기 위한 계측 관리 및 행정 절차의 문제점을 개선하고자 한다. 지중에서 발생하는 토립자의 이동, 공동발생 및 지반함몰의 거동은 근본적으로 지하수의 이동에 의해 필연적으로 발생되며, 그 규모는 유출지하수량의 발생규모와 상관성이 높게 분석되었다. 계측 관리의 문제를 보완하기 위하여 첫 번째로 지중 굴착 시 계측되는 유출지하수와 지하수위를 연계하여 분석하여 기준을 마련하였고, 추가로 지하수 내 탁도 값을 측정하여 이를 더하여 서로간 상관성 분석을 통해 기존 지하수위 계측자료의 관리기준을 보완하였으며, 최종적으로 현장에서의 계측된 데이터를 통해 지반침하를 사전에 예측할 수 있다. 계측된 데이터의 분석결과 위험도가 감지될 경우 공동발생의 방지 및 복구에 관한 방안이 제시되며, 문제 발생 지점의 범위를 국한하여 신속하고, 경제적으로 해결해 나갈 수 있다. 이를 위해 현행 지하수법의 개선과 행정적 절차가 보완되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 지하공간 개발 시 지하수 관리의 개선으로 사전에 지반침하를 예측 할 수 있고, 이를 통해 재해를 미연에 방지할 뿐만 아니라 건설산업 현장의 스마트 관리체계를 구성하여 미래 지향적인 토목현장 및 국민에 대한 신뢰도를 재고 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, many overpasses, highway, and advanced transit systems have been constructed to distribute the traffic congestion, thus small size of curved bridges with small curvature such as ramp structures have been increasing. Many of early curved bridges had been constructed by using straight beams with curved slabs, but curved steel beams have replaced them due to the cost, aesthetic and the advantage in building the section form and manipulating the curvature of beams, thereby large portion of curved bridges were applied with steel box girders. However, steel box girder bridges needs comparatively high initial costs and continuous maintenance such as repainting, which is the one of the reason for increasing the cost. Moreover, I-type steel plate girder which is being studied by many researchers recently, seem to have problems in stability due to the low torsional stiffness, resulting from the section characteristics with thin plate used for web and open section forms. Therefore, in recent studies, researchers have proposed curved precast PSC girders with low cost and could secured safety which could replace the curved steel girder type bridges. Hence, this study developed a Smart Mold system to manufacture efficient curved precast PSC girders. And by using this mold system a 40 m 2-girder bridge was constructed for a static flexural test, to evaluate the safety and performance under ultimate load. At the manufacturing stage, each single girder showed problems in the stability due to the torsional moment, but after the girders were connected by cross beams and decks, the bridge successfully distributed the stress, thereby the stability was confirmed. The static loading test results show that the initial crack was observed at 1,400 kN when the design load was 450 kN, and the load at the allowable deflection by code was 1,800 kN, which shows that the safety and usability of the curved precast PSC bridge manufactured by Smart Mold system is secured.

Road surface monitoring is essential for maintaining road environment safety through managing risk factors like rutting and crack detection. Using autonomous driving-based UGVs with high-performance 2D laser sensors enables more precise measurements. However, the increased energy consumption of these sensors is limited by constrained battery capacity. In this paper, we propose a fusion sensor system for efficient surface monitoring with UGVs. The proposed system combines color information from cameras and depth information from line laser sensors to accurately detect surface displacement. Furthermore, a dynamic sampling algorithm is applied to control the scanning frequency of line laser sensors based on the detection status of monitoring targets using camera sensors, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. A power consumption model of the fusion sensor system analyzes its energy efficiency considering various crack distributions and sensor characteristics in different mission environments. Performance analysis demonstrates that setting the power consumption of the line laser sensor to twice that of the saving state when in the active state increases power consumption efficiency by 13.3% compared to fixed sampling under the condition of λ=10, µ=10.

Electrical energy is an essential component in present societies, which is an important basis for our technological society. In the design of new power infrastructure, it is important to consider the psychological aspects of how our culture considers and aspects its development as an integral component of the community environment. The construction of new high voltage overhead transmission lines has become a controversial issue for public policy of government due to social opposition. The members of community are concerned about how these power lines may have an impact on their lives, basically caused by their effects on health and safety. The landscape and visual impact is one of the most impact that can be easily perceived for local community. The computer 3D simulation of new landscape is illustrated by a real life use corresponding to the selection of the power line route with least observability for local community. This paper used ArcGIS(geographic information system tool) for planning, survey, basic route and detailed route, route for implementation of transmission line corridor. Also, the paper showed the map of natural environment, living environment, safety and altitude using database of power line corridor, and transmission siting model was developed by this study. The suggested landscape of computer simulation with lowest visibility on a power line zone can contribute to reducing oppositions of local community and accelerating the construction of new power lines.

In general, large-capacity hydrogen storage vessels, typically in the form of vertical cylindrical vessels, are constructed using steel materials. These vessels are anchored to foundation slabs that are specially designed to suit the environmental conditions. This anchoring method involves pre-installed anchors on top of the concrete foundation slab. However, it's important to note that such a design can result in concentrated stresses at the anchoring points when external forces, such as seismic events, are at play. This may lead to potential structural damage due to anchor and concrete damage. For this reason, in this study, it selected an vertical hydrogen storage vessel based on site observations and created a 3D finite element model. Artificial seismic motions made following the procedures specified in ICC-ES AC 156, as well as domestic recorded earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 5.0, were applied to analyze the structural behavior and performance of the target structures. Conducting experiments on a structure built to actual scale would be ideal, but due to practical constraints, it proved challenging to execute. Therefore, it opted for an analytical approach to assess the safety of the target structure. Regarding the structural response characteristics, the acceleration induced by seismic motion was observed to amplify by approximately ten times compared to the input seismic motions. Additionally, there was a tendency for a decrease in amplification as the response acceleration was transmitted to the point where the centre of gravity is located. For the vulnerable components, specifically the sub-system (support columns and anchorages), the stress levels were found to satisfy the allowable stress criteria. However, the concrete's tensile strength exhibited only about a 5% margin of safety compared to the allowable stress. This indicates the need for mitigation strategies in addressing these concerns. Based on the research findings presented in this paper, it is anticipated that predictable load information for the design of storage vessels required for future shaking table tests will be provided.

With the increasing trend of extreme rainfall that exceeds the design frequency of man-made structures due to extreme weather, it is necessary to review the safety of agricultural reservoirs designed in the past. However, there are no local government-managed reservoirs (13,685) that can be discharged in an emergency, except for reservoirs over a certain size under the jurisdiction of the Korea Rural Affairs Corporation. In this case, it is important to quickly deploy a mobile siphon to the site for preliminary discharge, and this study evaluated the applicability of a mobile siphon with a diameter of 200 mm, a minimum water level difference of 6 m, 420 (m²/h), and 10,000 (m²/day), which can perform both preliminary and emergency discharge functions, to the Yugum Reservoir in Gyeongju City. The test bed, Yugum Reservoir, is a facility that was completed in 1945 and has been in use for about 78 years. According to the hydrological stability analysis, the lowest height of the current dam crest section is 27.15 (EL.m), which is 0.29m lower than the reviewed flood level of 27.44 (EL.m), indicating that there is a possibility of lunar flow through the embankment, and the headroom is insufficient by 1.72 m, so it was reviewed as not securing hydrological safety. The water level-volume curve was arbitrarily derived because it was difficult to clearly establish the water level-flow relationship curve of the reservoir since the water level-flow measurement was not carried out regularly, and based on the derived curve, the algorithm for operating small and medium-sized old reservoirs was developed to consider the pre-discharge time, the amount of spillway discharge, and to predict the reservoir lunar flow time according to the flood volume by frequency, thereby securing evacuation time in advance and reducing the risk of collapse. Based on one row of 200 mm diameter mobile siphons, the optimal pre-discharge time to secure evacuation time (about 1 hour) while maintaining 80% of the upper limit water level (about 30,000 m²) during a 30-year flood was analyzed to be 12 hours earlier. If the pre-discharge technology utilizing siphons for small and medium-sized old reservoirs and the algorithm for reservoir operation are implemented in advance in case of abnormal weather and the decision-making of managers is supported, it is possible to secure the safety of residents in the risk area of reservoir collapse, resolve the anxiety of residents through the establishment of a support system for evacuating residents, and reduce risk factors by providing risk avoidance measures in the event of a reservoir risk situation.

Agricultural reservoirs are essential structures for water supplies during dry period in the Korean peninsula, where water resources are temporally unequally distributed. For efficient water management, systematic and effective monitoring of medium-small reservoirs is required. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides a way for continuous monitoring of those, with its capability of all-weather observation. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of SAR in monitoring medium-small reservoirs using Sentinel-1 (10 m resolution) and Capella X-SAR (1 m resolution), at Chari (CR), Galjeon (GJ), Dwitgol (DG) reservoirs located in Ulsan, Korea. Water detected results applying Z fuzzy function-based threshold (Z-thresh) and Chan-vese (CV), an object detection-based segmentation algorithm, are quantitatively evaluated using UAV-detected water boundary (UWB). Accuracy metrics from Z-thresh were 0.87, 0.89, 0.77 (at CR, GJ, DG, respectively) using Sentinel-1 and 0.78, 0.72, 0.81 using Capella, and improvements were observed when CV was applied (Sentinel-1: 0.94, 0.89, 0.84, Capella: 0.92, 0.89, 0.93). Boundaries of the waterbody detected from Capella agreed relatively well with UWB; however, false- and un-detections occurred from speckle noises, due to its high resolution. When masked with optical sensor-based supplementary images, improvements up to 13% were observed. More effective water resource management is expected to be possible with continuous monitoring of available water quantity, when more accurate and precise SAR-based water detection technique is developed.
