일반적으로 가뭄은 특정지역에서 평균 이하의 강수량이 발생되는 현상으로, 강수량이 감소되면 토양수분, 하천수 수위, 저수지 수위, 지하수위 등이 순차적으로 감소한다. 수문학적 가뭄은 기상학적 가뭄 및 농업 가뭄에 비해 늦게 발현되는데, 이는 강수량의 부족이 토양수분, 하천수량, 지하수 및 저수지 수위 등과 같은 수문학적 시스템에 전이되는 시간이 소요되기 때문이다. 따라서, 가뭄 피해를 경감하기 위해 지하수위 변동성을 이용하여 지하수 함양량을 추정함으로써 효율적인 수자원 관리의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 지하수위는 농촌 지하수 개발, 가뭄 및 홍수 예측 등 다양한 분야에 활용되며, 강수량에 의한 변화가 지표수에 비해 느리게 나타나고 토양을 통과하는 특성으로 인해 단기 및 장기간의 변화 경향이 나타난다. 미국 지질조사국 (United States Geological Survey)에서는 지하수위를 월 단위로 보통 이하 (Below-normal), 보통 (Normal), 보통 이상 (Above-normal) 3단계로 구분하여 분포도를 작성하고 전체 관측기간 중 25% 이상에서 보통 이하 (Below-normal)로 나타나면 가뭄으로 판단한다. 우리나라의 경우 지형, 유역을 고려한 지하수 수위 및 수질 현황과 변동성을 파악하기 위하여 전국 지하수위 관측망 688개소를 설치하고 운영 중에 있다. 또한, 농촌진흥청에서는 전국 농업기상대와 연계하여 토양수분관측망 (soil moisture monitoring network)을 구축하였으며, 표토 10 cm에 토양수분센서를 전국 168 지점에 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강수량을 기반으로 산정한 표준강수지수 (Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)와 지하수위를 기반으로 산정한 표준지하수위지수 (Standardized Groundwater Level Index, SGI), 토양수분관측망의 토양수분의 상관 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 밭작물 가뭄의 중요 요소인 토양수분 함량은 강수에 즉각적으로 반응하는 반면 지표수 및 지하수는 상대적으로 장기간의 강수에 영향을 받기 때문에, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 밭작물 지역의 가뭄 취약성을 관리하는 지표로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Dam movements are identified in real-time with measuring instruments for dam maintenance. However, for dams that have aged, the measuring instruments that were installed during the dam construction are frequently malfunctioning or completely failing altogether. Precision safety diagnosis is being executed for dams that are national facilities Type 1. During the diagnosis, a safety assessment is conducted for the dam body. Normally, during the analysis of dam safety, the widest cross-section is selected and a two-dimensional numerical analysis is taken place for the cross-section. However, numerous researchers have recently looked into applying the 3-dimensional numerical analysis program developments to precisely analyze the structure of the dam, as well as the surrounding strata, and the lower dam strata. In this study, PLAXIS 3D, a geotechnical generic FEM analysis program, was used to conduct dam safety assessments for earthquakes. The following were compared and analyzed: considering the seismic properties of the dam body with all zoned structures reflected as one rock-fill zone together with the dam body, considering the dam body as the rock-fill zone and the core zone, and the numerical analysis results. Thus, the study was aimed to analyze the impact properties of seismic waves according to the different zones.

The objective of this study was to investigate the landscape structures of the National and Provincial Forest Parks in the list of "100 Famous Forests of Korea" designated by Korea Forest Service by comparing them with those of the non-designated forests. Among the designated and the non-designated, 34 mountain forests were chosen respectively over all provinces of Korea. The spatial characteristics of forest landscapes were quantified as the landscape indices independently using FRAGSTATS and the two sets of results of analyses were compared each other. According to the results of the comparative study, the designated forests were found on the higher elevation with the higher average slope and the more complicated relief conditions rather than those of the non-designated. In terms of landscape structure, the designated forests show the larger average patch size, the lower edge density and the higher diversity of landscape components. These results indicate that the more hilly mountain forests with the more complicated spatial distribution patterns of patches are the characteristics of the designated forests. The indices of the forest landscape structure would be useful in understanding the perception of forest landscape.

Most of waste sludge has generally been disposed in landfill site or dumped in the ocean, which will be banned by the content of its heavy metals according to London Dumping Convention in Korea. Therefore, environmentally friend methods are urgently required for the treatment and disposal of the sewage sludge. Thermal hydrolysis is one of the good treatment methods to solve the sludge problems. In this study, the physical and environmental testing was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of by-product cake from the thermal hydrolysis as liner or cover materials in landfill.

In general, curved bends raises a risk of overtopping due to floods and also threatens a bank safety due to a local flow concentration. This study aims to test the applicability of CCHE2D model for experimental flumes with two different types of bends and then investigate flow characteristics in the sharply-curved bend of a natural channel. The results demonstrated that the percent error of water level was within 4.9% for experimental flume applications and the simulated spatial distribution of velocity matched the observed results very closely. The calibrated model based on the experimental flumes was also applied to analyze the flow characteristics in natural channel bends of the Daeyu reach, located in a downstream of the Youngdam Dam. The results showed that in upstream, the simulated water level by the CCHED was observed at 1.5 m higher than the 1-D numerical model (HEC-RAS) result since the HEC-RAS could not represent the bend geometry effect on streamflow. However, the calculated results by several empirical formula support that the CCHE2D is suitable for the super elevation simulation as well as flood stage and velocity in a natural channel bend.

The recent trend for numerical experiment requires more higher resolution and accuracy. Generally, in the wave field calculation, it starts with a large region formulation first and follows by a separated detailed region formulation by more denser grids for the main interest area considering the geographical and bathymetrical variation. The wave fields resulted from the large region calculation is being introduced into the detail region calculation as the incident waves. In this process there exists a problem of continuity. In order to get over such problem, method of variable gridding system or spectrum sampling, etc., is being used. However, it seems not enough to examine and analyze the related numerical errors. Therefore, it is investigated in this study the field applicability of the most pervasive use of wave model, the nested SWAN model. For this purpose, we made model experiment for two coastal harbours with different tidal environment, and compared and analyzed the result. From the analysis, it was found that both the extracted values, near the boundaries of the large and detail region and the nested formulation of SWAN model, show almost the same and no different between those with different tidal environment conditions. However it is necessary for reducing the numerical errors to set the boundaries for the detailed region outside of the rapid bathymetric change and deeper region.

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) recommended the importance of preventive measures against extreme weather, and heat waves are one of the main themes for establishing preventive measures. In this study, we tried to analyze the heat vulnerable areas by considering not only spatial characteristics but also social characteristics. Energy consumption, popu lation density, normalized difference vegetation index, waterfront distance, solar radiation, and road distribution were examined as variables. Then, by selecting a suitable model, SLM (Spatial Lag Model), available variables were extracted. Then, based on the Fuzzy theory, the degree of vulnerability to heat waves was analyzed for each variable, and six variables were superimposed to finally derive the heat vulnerable area. The study site was selected as the Daegu area where the effects of the heat wave were high. In the case of vulnerable areas, it was confirmed that the existing urban areas are mainly distributed in Seogu, Namgu, and Dalseogu of Daegu, which are less affected by waterside and vegetation. It was confirmed that both spatial and social characteristics should be considered in policy support for reducing heat waves in Daegu.

Excavation by explosives blasting necessarily involves noise and vibration, which is highly prone to face claims on the environmental and structural aspects from the neighbors. When the blasting carried out in the vicinity of a structure, the effect of blasting vibration on the stability of the structure should be carefully evaluated. In the conventional method of evaluation, an equation for blast vibration is obtained from test blasting which is later used to determine the amount of charge. This method, however, has limitations in use since it does not consider topography and change in ground conditions. In order to overcome the limitations, dynamic numerical analysis is recently used in continuum or discontinuous models, where the topography and the ground conditions can be exactly implemented. In the numerical analysis for tunnels and rock slopes, it is very uncommon to simulate multi-hole blasting. A single-hole blasting pressure is estimated and the equivalent overall pressure at the excavation face is used. This approach based on an ideal case usually does not consider the ground conditions. And this consequently results in errors in calculation. In this presentation of a case study, a new approach of using blast waves obtained in the test blast is proposed. The approach was carried out in order to improve the accuracy in calculating blasting pressure. The stability of a structure in the vicinity of a slope blasting was examined using the newly proposed method.
