The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of the suspended matter caused by dredging at the northeastern part of Kwangyang Bay and to determine the effect of the single silt protector for it. According to the direction of the tidal current, six sampling stations were chosen from the dredging site to the southeast. At the high tide, the high concentration of the suspended matter was observed below the mid-depth near the dredging site. As the tidal currents were stronger. its concentrations below the mid-depth at the inner stations of the single silt protector were rapidly increased, but those of the outer stations did not show any significant change. The concentrations at the inner stations of the silt protector at that time were from 20~140mg/l and those of the outer stations, which was only about 30 m apart from the inner station, were from 20~30mg/l. It suggests that the large amount of suspended matter caused by dredging were moved to the inner stations near the silt protector at the ebb tide and that the silt protector is very effective for the suspended matter.

The relationships were studied between the range of hardening zone and the intensity of vacuum pressure in case of applying vacuum consolidation drainage method for soil improvement. A testing apparatus was made to measure the range of hardening zone varying the water content and the intensity of vacuum pressure for 3 different the highly compressible dredged clays(Gwangyang, Busan and Mokpo). In case of applying high vacuum pressure, the hardening zone is not spreaded as compared to low vacuum pressure because of the clogging of drainage and developed hardening zone near the drainage.

In this study, the behavior of breasting dolphin caused by the maximum wave height in the coastal area of Incheon has been investigated. The dynamic deflection, shear stress and moment of pile are analyzed using the coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction resulted from loading tests for different DWT (Dead Weight Tonnage). The dynamic characteristics of pile in accumulated and dredged soils show almost the same pattern. It is shown that the resistance of dolphin to external load increases as the diameter of pile increases. The bettered pile dolphin is more than 10 times stable than the vertical pile type based on the study of dynamic characteristics of dolphin.

The IIA(Inchon International Airport) which will function as the HUB airport in the northeast Asian region in the upcoming 21th century will be located in the reclaimed land with sand dredged in the vicinity of project area between Youngjong and Yongyu islands. The original ground is composed of soft clayey silt (ML) or silty clay (CL). The reclaimed land is classified as being SP-SM and having poor gradation of Cu<3 which resulted in the anticipation for difficulty in compaction (compaction index = 0.6~0.7). This anticipation shedded light on the necessity of performing test compactions for the thickness of 3~5meters of reclaimed land, aiming at the discovery of effective and economical compaction method. Upon the call for the test compaction performance 4 different compaction methods have been selected for trial from the research done on the international and local academic papers, past experience with compaction works, and their written materials. For the precise interparetation of test results, the ground survey and measurements have been performed. The Hydraulic Hammer Compaction has been chosen as the most optimum in accordance withe the test results.

Dredging and disposal is a conventional method to remove contaminated sediments. However, there are some problems in dredging and disposal, such as disturbance of contaminated sediments, disposal site determination, and high construction cost. Recently, in-situ capping which overcomes the problems of dredging and disposal is widely applied to isolate local contaminated sites. Numerical studies, which have been conducted to simulate contaminant transport during in-situ capping, have been concerned mainly with diffusive transport. However, contaminated sediments experience large strain consolidation induced by self-weight because of initially high moisture content of sediments, and contaminant transport results from advection and diffusion. Previous studies focus on contaminant transport during consolidation, but have neglected consolidation effect on long-term contaminant transport in sediments. This study presents numerical simulation results of consolidation effect on long-term contaminant transport in sediments.

This study was conducted to monitor and prevent outbreak of insect pestsin dredged soil dumping area after completion of dredging construction in Masan City. Monitoring was carried out using tent trap, colored sticky trap, and CDC light trap. A total of 217,073 individuals belonging to 23 species from 10 families in 3 orders were collected. In overwintering survey using tent trap, 3 species were collected. 2 species (Leptocera fuscipennis (Haliday) and Ephydra japonica Miyagi) of them were outbreak species. In color sticky trap, more than 96% of total individuals were comprised of five species: Urolepis maritima Walker (43%), E. japonica (19%), Fucellia sp. 1 (13%), Philotelma sp. 1 (10%), and Homalometopus sp. 1 (9%). In CDC light trap, three dominant species were Homalometopus sp. 1 (91%), Glyptotendipes tokunagai Sasa (6%), and L. fuscipennis (1%), representing about 98% of the total. To prevent damage caused by outbreak of insect pests, we carried out ecological control methods such as covering the fresh soil in outbreak area, using light trap, pumping up water and so on, minimizing use of thermal fogging and insect growth regulatorwhen the insect pest population was rapidly increasing.

Recently, there have been various domestic construction activities related to the reclamation of the dredged soils to expand the land use. However, the reclaimed grounds made of the dredged soils cause various problems due to highly compressible and low shear strength nature. Particularly, this nature induces huge problems in case of the harbor facilities and road construction on the reclaimed sites. Furthermore, in the reclamation activities, the marine dredged soils are often used instead of the well sorted sand, which induces problems of compressibilities. Therefore, in this study, the mechanical characteristics of artificial soil mixture of kaolinite representing the marine dredged soils and the pond ash. A large consolidometer is designed and manufactured to produce the artificial soil mixture. To represent various mixing ratio between the fly ash and bottom ash in the pond ash, six samples with the same stress history are made with different mixing ratio among kaolinite, bottom ash and fly ash. Isotropically consolidated and undrained compression tests are performed to investigate the shear characteristics of soil mixtures. Based on the experimental results, as the components of mixed ash increase, the friction angle increase and the cohesion values decrease. Also, the porepressure parameters at failure, Af increase with the mixing components of the pond ash. The portion of bottom ash has more impact on the shear behavior than that of fly ash.

Excavation works on stream beds have been done for various reasons including aggregate collection, sediment dredging, bridge constructions, or laying pipes under the ground. These activities may cause significant loadings of SS (suspended solids) resulting in water pollution and other detrimental effects to the surrounding environment. This research investigates application potential of a fickian diffustion model, derived from two dimensional advection-diffusion equation through some simplifying assumptions, as a planning tool for the estimation of SS loadings from excavation works and evaluation fo pollution prevention measures in case that sophisticated numerical simulation models are not applicable due to various practical reasons. Through a case study of the Juncheon stream in the Donghae City on the Kangwondo Province, this study demonstrates applicability of the fickian diffustion model as a practical method for the preliminary estimation of Ss loadings from excavation works and evaluation of performance of fabrics made of synthetic fiber for the reduction of downstream SS concentration with deficient field data.

정부에서 기후변화로 인한 홍수와 가뭄, 수질개선 등 물 문제 해결을 위해 시행하고 있는 4대 강사업을 아직도 언론이나 환경단체, 대다수의 국민들이 보 건설로 인해 홍수의 위험성이 높아지고, 수질이 악화되어 생태계와 생명이 파괴된다고 오해하고 있다. 이런 오해를 불식시키기 위해 남한강유역의 보 건설 공사 전 후의 발생 가능한 수리변화 예측을 통하여 4대강사업에 따른 수리 수질 논란에 대비하고, 기존의 수위-유량 곡선식 및 홍수분석시스템 변화에 따른 개선을 통하여 보 건설 후 댐과 보의 운영시 각 보 지점의 수리분석을 통해 적절한 방류 규모, 시기를 결정하고 하류영향을 효과적으로 분석하는 등 환경변화에 대한 사전 대책마련을 위해 EFDC 모형을 구축하였다. 본 연구는 한강유역의 팔당댐을 기준으로 북한강 10km, 경안천 10km, 남한강 65km 구간의 공사 전 후 수위변화를 분석하기위해 남한강 유역의 2006년도부터 2010년까지의 여주, 이포, 양평 수위국의 최고수위 기간을 조사하여, 최고기간인 2006년 7월 15일부터 17일에 발생한 태풍 에위니아의 첨두유량(13,022CMS)을 사용하였고, 하천단면 측량자료는 2010년에 실시한 보 공사구간 횡단면도와 준설 후 계획 횡단면도와 과거 측량자료를 이용하였고, 총 3,794개의 격자망을 평균 $200m\times80m$ 간격으로 구성하여 3차원 수리/수질 모델 프로그램인 EFDC를 사용하여 수리모델링을 실시하여 보 건설 전 후의 수위변화를 모델링 하였다. 모델링 결과 남한강 상류인 강천보 지점의 수위 저감효과가 최대 2.0m로 가장 큰 효과를 보였으며, 상대적으로 남한강의 하류인 여주보 지점은 최대 1.5m, 이포보 지점은 상대적으로 작은 1.0m 정도의 수위 저감효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 이포보 하류의 양평수위국 지점과 북한강, 남한강, 경안천이 합류되는 팔당댐 상류 지점의 경우 모델링 결과 공사 전 후 수위 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 보 건설이 남한강 하류 지점에는 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 이처럼 EFDC 모형을 이용하여 정밀 수리모형 검토를 통해 수위변화를 비교해 본 결과 지점별로 약간의 차이는 발생하지만 보 건설을 통하여 수위 저감효과가 발생하는 것으로 판단된다. 보다 정확한 검토를 위해 추후에는 남한강 상류의 강천수위국 상류지점의 검토와 남한강유역의 지류 유입량을 추가하여 모델링을 실시하면 보다 더 정밀한 분석이 가능할 것이라고 판단된다.

Automatic control technologies for the marine pile driving provides accurate and rapid intruding into the planned positions of the pile with planned slope and direction, so that the construction maintenance and management are more efficient and the quality of the construction is more promising. Therefore, in this study, the application scheme of RTK GPS to the automatic control of the pile driving presented. It is expected that the presented scheme using the precise RTK GPS technique assures the efficient and economic 3D positioning accuracy for the precise marine construction management like the precise foundation of marine structures made of piles and the dredging work. It is found that the suggested scheme decrease 60% of the construction error compared with specifications reference because marine position accuracy is measured within 4cm in real time. In addition, the automatic position control system using GPS reduced the construction period and cost compared with existing methods about 30% and 35%, respectively.
