In this study, the seepage flow monitoring method by the hydraulic head loss rate was developed for the purpose of application to offshore construction site enclosed by cofferdams in which seepage force varies periodically. The amount of the hydraulic head loss rate newly defined in this graph was in a range between 0 and 1. The zero of the rate means the existence of flow with no seepage resistance. The 1 of the rate means no seepage flow through the ground. The closer to 1 the coefficient of determinant in the hydraulic head loss graph is, the more the ground through which seepage water flows is stable. The closer to 0 the coefficient of determinant in the hydraulic head loss graph is, the more the ground through which seepage water flows was unstable and the higher the possibilities of existence of empty space or of occurrence of piping on the seepage flow pass in the ground is. The hydraulic head loss graph makes it possible to monitor sensitively the situation of seepage flow state, and the graph helps to understand easily the seepage flow state at the specific section on the whole cofferdam.

Recently, typhoons or heavy rainfalls frequently occurred because of the effect of global warming, which caused serious damage such as landslide of mountain road, debris flow and uplift seepage pressure. Uplift seepage pressure induced on the pavement of mountain roads may cause serious pavement damage. It was known that subsurface drainage method is very effective to reduce uplift seepage pressure. Suitable permeability and stiffness of drainable base is very important to have the effectiveness of subsurface drainage. In this study, optimum particle size distribution of drainable base is investigate to meet the required permeability and bearing capacity of drainable base.

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.

The Chungpyung Dam is a 16 yearn old rock-fill dam for a Pumped storage hydro-Power plant, located in the middle of the Korean Peninsula. Since the dam is subjected to the daily water level fluctuation, such as rapid drawdown and refill, thus inducing a structural impact on the behavior of dam body, it draws attention of many engineering concerns. Traditionally, steady-state analysis was employed to investigate the seepage in the dam body, but in this study the seepage analysis was numerically performed by 2-D FEM thansient analysis. As a boundary condition for an analysis, the water level fluctuation was incorporated to simulate the daily change. As a res41t, the various seepage phenomena such as hydraulic gradient, seepage vector, and pore water pressure distribution were quantified at the corresponding time of interest as the water level rises and recedes. The seepage flux was also estimated and compared with the measured data which were both acceptable considering design criteria. The result proves that there is no sign of hazardous sources contributing to the possibility of piping, internal erosion and excess leakage through the dam body.

Scale effects of stability, run-up, run-down and reflection of layered coastal structures are investigated through the experiments with 7 kinds of hydraulic scale models. The occurrence mechanism and the control method of scale effects are also discussed. As a result, it is found that the similarity of permeability of inner layers plays an important role in the occurrence of scale effects, which has been neglected in the most of conventional model tests. To assure the best scale effects for permeable coastal structures, control of Reynolds numbers of the porous media flow in each layer is recommended. It is also found that Reynolds numbers in revetment, filter, and core layer must be greater than $2{\times}10^4$, $3{\times}10^3$, and $1{\times}10^3$, respectively.

The enormous quantity of 'Bayer-Process by-products' (BP by-products) discharged by industries producing alumina from bauxite represents an environmental and economical problem. As it is mainly composed of $Fe_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$, CaO and $Na_2O$, it is thought that using BP by-products as a construction material is an effective way to consume such a large quantity of alkaline waste. In this study, This study evaluates the effect of alkali-activated binder based on recycling BP by-products on soil improvement through the evaluation of slope stability and seepage flow numerical analysis. The results of analysis of ground slope safety at dry season and wet season meet standard (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, 2006) Especially, when wet season, the ground used soil improving material meet standard, while the ground used soil-nailing method doesn't. Also, permeability coefficient of improved soil is smaller than that of natural soil and saturation depth of reinforced ground surface with improve soil is lower than that of natural soil.

Groundwater seepage into a tunnel is one of the main causes triggering tunnel collapse and the consequent ground subsidence. Thus, it is important to estimate adequately the groundwater inflow rate and porewater pressure change during tunneling with time elapse. In current practice, Goodman's analytical solution (or image tunnel method) assuming homogeneous ground condition around a tunnel is commonly used for estimating groundwater inflow rate. However, the generally-used analytical solution for estimating groundwater inflow rate does not consider groundwater level drawdown and permeability change with depth, and the inflow rate can be overestimated in design phase. In this study, parametric study was performed in order to investigate the effect of groundwater level drawdown and permeability reduction with depth, and transient flow analysis was carried out for studying the inflow rate change as well as groundwater level and porewater pressure change around a tunnel with time elapse.

The interaction among wave, seabed and marine structure is an important issue in coastal engineering as well as geotechnical engineering. Understanding variations of stresses and pore water pressures generated in seabed induced by waves is important for civil engineers who have to design the foundation for various marine structures and verify the instability of seabed. In the matters on seabed instability, particularly, in the case of wave-induced liquefaction of seabed, it is turned out there are two different mechanisms through previous studies. These are caused by the transient or oscillatory nature and the residual or progressive nature of excess pore water pressure generated in seabed, respectively. In this study, it is analyzed dynamic characteristics of soils sampled in seabed around the port of Kochi, Japan, through the dynamic triaxial tests and the residual excess pore water pressure in the seabed induced by seepage force of wave. In addition, the calculated residual excess pore water pressures were compared with the field data observed in the port of Kochi.

우리나라에서는 대하천정비사업을 통해 주요 국가하천마다 보와 제방을 신설 및 보축하여 홍수의 방어 및 예방에 힘을 기울이고 있으며, 근래에는 이러한 정비사업이 완료되어 가고 있는 상황이다. 제방에 대한 정비사업의 내용은 보축 및 신설이 주를 이루나, 제내지의 성토와 제외지의 보강 및 저수로의 준설 등도 함께 수행되었다. 이러한 정비사업의 영향으로 지하수 및 하천의 흐름양상은 정비사업 전과는 다르게 변화 될 것으로 추정되며, 이는 제방 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 중요한 문제로 판단된다. 따라서, 이와 같은 지하수 및 하천흐름의 변화양상이 제방의 안정성에 얼마나 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 정량적으로 분석할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다. 특히, 대하천정비사업으로 지반누수를 방지하기 위한 제내지 성토나 퇴사제거를 위한 하천준설 등이 수행되면서 제방의 외적인 환경들이 많이 변하게 되었으나 이에 대한 정량적인 연구들이 거의 수행되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 낙동강과 회천 합류부에 위치한 율지제를 대상으로 이곳에 설치된 간극수압계의 데이터와 2차원 침투해석 프로그램인 SEEP/W를 이용하여 제내지와 제외지 표고변화에 따른 파이핑 안정성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 제내지 표고가 상승하면 파이핑 안전율이 증가하고 표고가 하강하면 안전율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 제외지의 표고변화는 제방안정성에 거의 영향을 주지 않으며 오히려 하천수위의 영향을 지배적으로 받는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 제방안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 기초지반의 경우, 제내지측을 상승시키고 하천수위를 하강하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, weathered granite model tests were performed to investigate the variation of volumetric water content and matric suction by the adsorption and desorption processes of artificial rainfall. It has been compared with numerical analysis in unsaturated condition. As the results, the behaviors of volumetric water content and matric suction were distinguished by the seepage distance separated into higher, middle and lower area, and the drainage layer located at the bottom of the experimental device. In the adsorption process, the instantaneously large change of matric suction and water content were related to the increase of permeability in soil. However, in the desorption process, the change of matric suction and water content were gradually small because of the decrease of permeability. The volumetric water content and matric suction showed the difference according to the seepage distance, however the typical characteristic curves were made by the adsorption and desorption processes.
