Resistivity method is a practical and effective geophysical technique to detect leakage zones in embankment dams. Generally, resistivity survey conducted along the crest assumes that the embankment dam has a 2D structure. However, the 3D topography of the embankment distorts significantly resistivity data measured on anywhere of the dam. This study evaluates the influence from 3D effects created by specific dam geometry and effects of water level fluctuations through the 3D finite element modeling technique. Also, a comparison between different locations of survey line are carried out, and topographic correction technique is developed for the resistivity data obtained along the embankment dam. Furthermore, using synthetic resistivity data for an embankment dam model with leakage zone, detectability of leakage zones is estimated through 2.5D inversion.

Several types of methods such as resistivity survey, ground penetration radar, etc are used for detection of levee leakage and according to the river design guidelines detection of levee leakage is performed by measuring the hydraulic conductivity of levee soil. But, the former can not verify the leakage point and degree of saturation, the latter is an after treatment method. Movable sensor, which is a high-tech TDR system developed since 2000, can obtain directly the dielectric constant profile covering the whole depth of levee. In this study, laboratory and field model experiments were carried out using movable TDR sensor in order to evaluate the applicability as detection system of levee leakage, As the result, movable TDR system has proven to be 3 times more sensitive to water contents than dry unit weight, and the results conclude that the dielectric constant, water contents and density of the ground proved to have a correlation among them, and the dielectric constant is expected to be a basic data on detection of levee leakage.

본 연구에서는 제방에 대한 부정류 침투해석시 사용되는 설계홍수파형을 결정하기 위하여 수위자료가 양호한 낙동강 수계 수위관측소 지점의 홍수자료를 수집하고 그 지검에 해당하는 계획홍수량 및 계획홍수위를 조사하였다. 설계홍수파형 결정 방법은 일본의 하천제방설계지침(2000)에서 제시하고 있는 방법을 참고하였으며, 그 적용성을 검토하기 위해서 낙동강의 9개 수위관측소 지점의 과거 홍수사상과 계획홍수량 산정시 사용되었던 설계수문곡선을 이용하여 합성홍수파형을 시험적으로 결정했다. 비교분석하여 침투해석을 위한 설계홍수파형을 결정 방법에 적용한다. 제방의 비정상 침투해석을 위한 설계홍수파형은 홍수지속시간과 감수부경사로 결정할 수 있는데, 홍수지속시간은 합성홍수파의 홍수지속시간이 계획홍수파의 지속시간보다 크게 산정되었는데, 이는 설계시 계획홍수파의 지속시간에 어느 정도 안전율을 적용해야 함을 의미한다. 감수부 경사는 분석된 과거 홍수사상중에는 계획홍수파의 감수부 경사보다 급하게 감소하는 것은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났는데, 감수부 경사는 계획홍수량 산정시 사용했던 수문곡선을 사용하는 것이 안전측 설계가 될 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 최근 누수에 의한 제방붕괴가 발생한 바 있는 낙동강 유역에 대해서 시험적으로 적용해 보았으며 그 방법론에 대한 타당성을 확인했다.

We have carried out integrated research including field survey and numerical modeling to appraise the applicability of SP method to the leakage problems of irrigation facilities. The leakage pattern of the dike studied here can be classified into the three categories: leakage through the abutment, leakage by piping through dike, and leakage due to the composite effects of landslide and distortion of the dike structure. for the numerical modeling to interpret quantitatively SP survey results acquired at dike, we have modified the computer code proposed by Sill (1983) to apply to the leakage problems. The numerical studies match the characteristic patterns of SP anomalies according to the leakage types and appear to be very useful to interpret the leakage zone and path. The SP monitoring results were also well coincided with tidal variations observed at every embankment so we found the SP method is quite effective not only to detect the leakage zone but also to determine the leakage trend. The numerical modeling results also reproduced the SP anomalies due to seawater leakage in the embankment.

Resistivity method is a practical and effective geophysical technique to detect leakage zones in embankment dams. Generally, resistivity survey conducted along the crest assumes that the embankment dam has a 2D structure. However, the 3D topography of embankments distorts significantly resistivity data measured on anywhere of the dam. In this study, we analyse the influence from 3D effects created by specific dam geometry through the 3D finite element modeling technique. We compared 3D effects when resistivity surveys are carried out on the upstream slope, left edge of the crest, center of the crest, right edge of the crest and downstream slope. We ensure that 3D effect is greatly different according to the location of the survey line and data obtained on the downstream slope are most greatly influenced by 3D dam geometry. Also, resistivity data are more influenced by the electrical resistivity of materials constituting reservoir than 3D effects due to specific dam geometry. Furthermore, using resistivity data synthesized with 3D modeling program for an embankment dam model with leakage zone, we analyse the possibility of leakages detection from 2D resistivity surveys performed along the embankment dam.

제방붕괴에 따른 피해발생을 억제하기 위해서는 제방거동 특성을 사전에 충분한 정보를 통하여 파악할 필요가 있으며, 이를 위해 광섬유를 이용한 제방누수감지 센서를 개발하였다. 광섬유는 내구성 및 유지관리가 우수하고 장기간 사용에도 장점을 가지고 있다. 개발된 센서들은 현장에 적용하기 전에 충분한 실험을 통해 성능과 기능에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 광섬유 센서를 대상으로 제방누수감지 목적으로 설치할 경우 센서의 이행도를 시험하였다. 시험방법은 토조를 설치하여 제체에 작용하는 간극수압, 온도 및 변위 등을 대상으로 하였다. 이를 위해 폭 5m, 길이 7m 및 높이 2m의 토조를 설치하여 가제방의 주요 부위에 기존 계측기기와 광섬유 센서를 같이 매설하고 수위와 시간변화에 따른 주요 특성치에 대하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 광섬유 센서가 연구목적에 부합하는 계측치를 보여주어 제방누수감지 센서로 활용 가능함을 확인하였다. 아울러 광섬유 센서의 기능에 대한 전반적인 실험을 통하여 현장적용에 대한 사용성을 입증하였다.

최근 홍수로 제체누수 및 지반누수에 의해 제방이 피해를 입는 사례가 증가하였다. 특히 2000년대부터 Piping 현상으로 제방이 붕괴되는 일들이 다수 발생하고 있어 기존 제방의 안정성 검토와 신설 제방 설계의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 우리나라의 제방 침투해석은 2차원 비정상 침투해석을 하고 있으나 이 경우 외력 조건으로 외수위에 대한 하천의 홍수파형이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 설계 홍수파형 유도를 위하여 금호강 상류지점인 금호 수위관측소에서 설계 홍수위 및 시간별 홍수위 등을 조사하여 과거 홍수사상의 시간별 수위곡선을 분석하였다. 수위곡선은 Huff의 4분위법에 따라 무차원화 시키기 위하여 각 홍수위의 누가지속시간과 누가 홍수위를 구하고 Weibull분포의 도시위치 공식을 적용하여 10~90％ 무차원 누가곡선을 도시하였다. 일반적으로 통계 해석상 중앙값을 나타내는 50％ 무차원 누가곡선을 사용하기 때문에 본 연구에서도 50％ 무차원 누가곡선을 사용하여 무차원 설계 홍수파형을 유도하였다. 새로이 유도한 무차원 설계 홍수파형을 외력 조건으로 하고, 금호강 유역의 인근 제방을 모형으로 하여 SEEP/W 프로그램으로 2차원 침투해석을 실시함으로써 그동안 외수위를 계획 제방고까지 인위적으로 연장시켜 사용하는 문제점을 해결하고 우리나라의 실정에 맞는 설계 홍수파형을 유도하여 하천제방 설계 및 기존 제방의 안정성 검토에 활용될 수 있는 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

This numerical study is to investigate the seepage characteristics of the side of the structure in the event of leakage from the structural connection part of the drainage structure installed through the enlarged levee, and to analyze the effect of piping on the stabilization of the levee by the lateral penetration behavior. To take into account lateral seepage behavior, 2D and 3D numerical analyses were performed on the same model, and the effect of lateral seepage was analyzed to assess the validity of the numerical analysis. As a result, when leakage occurs and a lateral seepage is considered with the gate located on the riverside land, the maximum pore water pressure near the leakage point of the structure has been reduced by half compared to the normal seepage state where no leakage occurred. Excessive variation in the pore pressure was shown at the lower part of the structure, especially if lateral seepage is not considered. As a water level rises to the high water level, it shows the hydraulic gradient was larger than the critical hydraulic gradient, which will be vulnerable to long-term piping. If a gate is located in the inland and side seepage is not considered, the effect of the seepage water such as hydraulic gradient and seepage velocity is underestimated compared with the case of considering side seepage. The maximum hydraulic gradient is relatively small when lateral seepage is neglected if a gate is located in the riverside land and there was might be a risk of piping or loss of material. In addition, the period exceeding the critical hydraulic gradient was interpreted as a short time zone. As a result, it is considered that the possibility of piping can be underestimated if side seepage is ignored.

To verify the reinforcing effect of grouting materials composed of colloid cement and ordinary portland cement on the water leakage region in a small scale dike, we performed a tubecasing method and applied surface electrical resistivity survey including electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to find resistivity variation before and after grouting. Hydraulic conductivities after grouting show 10 times lower than those of before grouting. These variation indicates that the cement grout blocks the leakage pathway effectively. As the results of dipole-dipole resistivity survey along the dike, resistivity distribution after grouting did not represent noticeable spatial variation in time. Resistivity monitoring results at the dike with vertical electrical sounding (VES) showed that the region of decreasing apparent resistivity was occupied by the grout after grouting. Predicted resistivities from the inversion of ERT data well matched with results of VES at the same regions. From the ERT using check holes to inspect the effect of grouting, we could find that the ERT is quite effective to identify spatially the grout region in a dike.

To verify reinforcing effect of grouting materials on the water leakage region in dike, we performed various hydraulic test and we also applied electric resistivity survey including electrical resistivity tomography(ERT) to see resistivity variation before and after grouting. As the results of dipole-dipole array survey along dike, resistivity distribution after grouting was without noticeable spatial variation. Long term resistivity monitoring results at dike with Schlumberger array electric resistivity survey showed that the decreasing region of apparent resistivity and one dimensional inversion results were the occupied region by grout after grouting. From the ERT using check holes to inspect the effect of grouting, we could find that the ERT is quite effective to evaluate spatially grout region in dike.
