Bragg 반사는 입사된 주기파의 진폭이 해저지형의 진폭의 2배가 될 때 파랑의 반사율이 공명현상(resonance)에 의해 매우 커지는 물리적 현상을 말한다. Bragg 반사를 응용할 경우, 외해로부터 입사되는 파랑 에너지의 상당량을 반사시킬 수 있으므로 항만이나 방파제 등의 해안구조물을 경제적으로 설계하고 보호할 수 있다. 또한, 해안선 보호 및 불필요한 침식이나 퇴적 등을 고려한 연안개발계획의 효율적 수립이 가능하다. (중략)

As beaches throughout Korea have suffered great losses of sand due to artificial developments and meteorological phenomena, particularly typhoons, it is necessary to monitor beaches that are prone to erosion continuously, establish and enforce a comprehensive plan to attack coastal erosion with the object of the long-term management. However, debates and temporary measures, not based on accurate coastal zone surveys and analyses, have been established up to now. Therefore, with Haeundae sand beach as a case study, we proposed methods to collect accurate spatial data of the coastline and the sand beach through GPS survey. And we detected and analyzed topographic changes resulting from Typhoon Nabi quantitatively and qualitatively, by using GIS technique. Results showed a mean elevation of 1.95 m, a total area of 53,441 $m^2$, and a total volume of 104,639 $m^3$ after Typhoon Nabi. Mean elevation rose 0.06 m between the pre- and the post-typhoon surveys by a protective shore wall. However, strong winds and north-northeast surges brought by the typhoon caused erosion of the area and the volume, by 3,096 $m^2$ and 2,320 $m^3$. Accurate spatial databases of coastal zones based on integrated GPS GIS techniques and quantitative and qualitative analyses of topographical changes will help Korea develop systematic and effective countermeasures against coastal erosion.

Rising sea levels along the coast from global warming causes the increase of wave energy along the coast. This rise in sea levels results in relatively deep water levels, which would incur the loss of sand that had not occurred in the past from erosion in coastal areas. Generally, it has been challenging to protect against coastal erosion, and the slope, cross-sectional shape, and materials are selected for the site conditions depending on the change in external forces. However, the application of counter measures based on insufficient understanding of the phenomenon is causing various damage, indicating the need for technological development and converging technologies to improve credibility. In this study, we developed eco-friendly permeable biopolymer concrete blocks to control the coastal erosion by using the Bio-Coast, an effective porous structure that mitigates the destructive erosion caused by the rising sea levels. The hexagonal design of Bio-Coast was derived from the honeycomb, columnar joints, and clover, which are durable and stable structures in nature, and the design was changed to apply bumps on the Bio-Coast filling in the form of a clover to reduce wave overtopping and run-up. Applying the field condition of beaches on the east coast of Korea, the block weight and size were decided and the prototype blocks were manufactured and are ready for field placement. In particular, it is intended to protect coastal areas from destructive erosion by natural and artificial external forces, and to extend the design to river,s lakes, and natural walking trails, to improve the efficiency of quality control and process control through the use of blocks.

This research was carried out to analyze long-term shoreline change on Busan Songjeong Beach using multi-temporal remote sensed data, GPS survey data and grain size analysis. As a result of multi-temporal satellite imagery analysis, the beach was stable status till early 2000s, but the erosion occurred over whole beach after the construction of shore protection road since 2000. In the result of DEM analysis, the elevation of beach reduced and the slope of berm increased after construction of shore protection road along the coast, this means the erosion environment was dominant on the beach. But the sedimentation was slightly stronger than the erosion in northern region of the beach, then the slope of berm was gentle. In the result of grain size analysis using in-situ samples, the coarsening-trend was found in southeastern region (Line E) of the beach, it is caused by strong wave energy from the outer sea. Consequently, major causes of the beach erosion in the study area were the interception of sand supply from a dune owing to shore protection road construction and scouring phenomenon by strong wave energy in southeastern region of the beach. If the topographic or artificial change will not occur in the future, the erosion in this area will continue. Therefore the prevention measures are required.

The global surface temperature has risen critically over the past century and according to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report 2014, existing risks in natural and human systems will worsen. Coastal erosion is mostly caused by climate change and among all the coastal areas at risk, Benin, which is part of the Gulf of Guinea, has been ranked very highly as a vulnerable region. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the evolution of coastline change in Cotonou of Benin, summarizing its resultant impacts and applied measures around the coast area by reviewing previous studies. Signs of coastal erosion in Cotonou appeared in 1963. After 39 years, the east shoreline of Cotonou has retreated by 885 m, resulting in the disappearance of more than 800 houses. To solve this problem, Benin authorities built seven groynes in 2013, and have increased the number of the structure as a way to interrupt water flow and limit the movement of sediment. Over the region, shorelines appeared preserved accordingly. In contrast, areas located further east, where groynes were not installed, have suf ered from intensive erosion at a rate of 49 m/yr. In the future, as a next step, the effectiveness of groynes should be studied with local and broader perspectives.

In this study, the volume of shoreline retreat at sea-cliffs in the Taean peninsula(West Coast of Korea) was estimated and their erosion and seasonal landforms characteristics changes were investigated through multi-temporal aerial photographs and field survey. Based on the analysis of aerial photographs through ortho-correction, the results show that the length of shoreline and erosion area increase as erosion at sea-cliffs occurs in Pado-li and Dundu-li. To obtain the seasonal quantitative landforms changes and retreat of sea-cliffs, we marked top, middle, and bottom datum-points, from which the distance to the nearest bedrock was repeatedly measured. In these regions, the retreat of sea-cliffs gradually increases in spring to summer, but gradually decreases in autumn. In particular, the typhoon that has a great influence on the Korean peninsula in July to September in summer would drastically increase the retreat of sea-cliffs in comparison with other seasons. As the outcrop of sea-cliffs repeats freezing and thawing in winter, the retreat of sea-cliffs increases a little due to active mechanical weathering. To know the erosion and seasonal landforms changes of sea-cliffs, we took pictures of them in every month and then analyze their condition. The retreat of sea-cliffs was repeatedly occurred by the circulation of the erosion of sea-cliff base, landslides, the formation of slope sediment debris and their erosion, in that order.

Recently, as the coastal erosion impacts greats to both social and economical aspects, each local government is trying to setup its countermeasures. However, it is necessary to survey the change of sediment movement characteristics and investigate the continuous environment change by long-term monitoring after building prevention constructions. In this study, predictions on wave deformation and sediment movement deduced through the numerical modeling are made, based on the ordinary and extraordinary wave through seasonal superiority wave direction, height, period and long-term wave characteristics on the eroded beach of central West sea.

연안 환경은 기후 및 도시개발과 같은 자연·인공적 요인에 따라 끊임없이 변화한다. 근래에는 연안 도시 인구증가, 기후변화 등의 영향으로 인해 그 변화가 가속화되고 있으며, 특히 연안 침식 및 이에 따른 해안선 변화에 대한 심각성이 대두되고 있다. 연안 침식은 해류와 해안 유사의 마찰로 발생하는 유사이송 현상으로 야기되며, 해안 환경을 변화를 초래하며 인간사회에 경제적인 피해를 주기도 한다. 연안침식이 사회적인 문제로 부상했음에도 여전히 이에 대한 대중적 문제의식은 부족한 실정이다. 이는 대중매체를 통한 시각적인 노출이 가능한 다른 재해에 비해 재해의 물리적 과정에 대한 시각적인 관측이 어렵다는 배경이 있다고 판단된다. 더불어, 재해의 간접체험이 가능한 플랫폼이 부족하다는 점도 원인으로 여겨진다. 기술이 발달함에 따라 시뮬레이션을 통한 재해의 간접체험이 가능한 플랫폼이 개발되어왔으며, 이는 직접 경험하기 어려운 재해에 대해 위험성 인지 및 경각심 고취에 활용되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 플랫폼인 Celeris Advent(Tavakkol and Lynett, 2017)를 기반으로 실시간 유사이송 해석이 가능한 인터랙티브 수치모형을 개발하여 문제를 개선하고자 하였다. GUI(Graphical User Interface)를 통해 조작이 가능한 Celeris Advent는 수치해석 결과를 실시간으로 가시화하며, 이에 대한 사용자 상호작용이 가능하다. 이를 기반으로 유사의 흐름에 대해 모의가 가능하도록 모형을 구성하여 실시간 사용자 입력 및 유사이송 물리현상 관측이 가능하도록 모형을 개발하였다. 수치모형 지배방정식은 2차원 천수방정식과 유사이송방정식을 양방향 결합하여 구성하였다. 개발된 모형의 정확성 평가를 위해 1차원 및 2차원 수리실험 데이터를 활용하여 수치실험을 수행하였으며, 전반적인 결과는 실험데이터와 잘 일치하였다.

Coastal and harbor structures, which are constructed for the beach protection and coastal zone development, often cause the severe beach erosion problem resulted from changes of longshore sediment transport. In this study, we present a new methodology to estimate the longshore sediment transport rates using the measured data of beach profiles or shorelines. The methods is applied for the prediction of longshore sediment transport rates along Kailua beach, Hawaii and shorelines in the vicinity of Anmok Harbor, Korea.
