The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of selected sediment reduction methods to reduce sediment discharges from drain and irrigation of different types (concrete canals, soil canals). This study was carried out to analysis for the suspended sediment concentration and sediment of drain and irrigation by velocity of flow. The results of study were analysised and summerized as follow. Sedimentation characteristics and size of soil sediment from the concrete and soil canals of downstream smaller than upstream. Suspended sediment concentration and flow times from the suggestion canals bigger than open canal. Structural shape of the canal decreases the velocity of flow also affects the suspended sediment concentration and flow times.

Measuring of Water Losses in irrigation canals have been done in 4 irrigation area. Four concrete canals and nine earth canals have been measured by the inflow-outflow method. The results obtained in this experiment were that the loss rates in the main irrigation canal and the secondary irrigation canal were 11.54%, 19.29% respectively. And the loss rates in concrete irrigation canals were 4.77%.

According to development and urbanization of country, environment and ecosystem were ignored during the past thirty years. Therefore canal, which had been developed by concrete, is remained as the space where life can not alive any longer. In this study, Environmental friendly canal construction method using porous loess block are investigated. Porous loess blocks are which is developing focused on both scenery and hydraulic safty. Canal using Porous loess blocks can take a vegetation's distribution and improvement of soil properties and hydraulic safty of bank. In this study, The examination of applied canal construction method using porous loess block that is considering vegetation's distribution and properties of material is done to present development of environmental friendly canal construction method.

The study was carried out to investigate the dimension of irrigation canal, and measure the water flow of those diverted from Kimje main canal in Dongjin irrigation area. The rating curves indicating the relationships between water level and discharge of the lateral canals were induced using the measured data with high regression coefficients of 0.957~0.999 at inlet points and 0.932~0.998 at end points, respectively. And Manning's roughness coefficients were estimated as the ranged from 0.015 to 0.074 at inlet points and 0.056 to 0.089 at end points with rectangular type of concrete open irrigation canals, the Manning's roughness coefficients of the end points were less than those values of the end points, which may be considered as the deposition of the bottom sediments.

This paper compares the estimated total construction and maintenance costs for irrigation canals in six irrigation districts near Pyongtaek. Three conventional canal types were considered: concrete bench flumes, concrete-lined canals, and earth canals. The total expenses for each type were grouped to four catagories: the net construction, land acquisition, maintenance, and other expenses. The construction costs included the assumed costs for conveyance losses from each type of canals. The results from this study support earlier studies that the bench flumes are economically feasible. Initially cheaper conveyance systems like concrete-lined and earth canals demand 'higher maintenance costs and thus, their total expenses are summed to exceed those for the bench flumes within a few years following the construction. Banch flumes are economically justifiable for the main canals of the studying districts. Sensitivity analyses were executed to evaluate the relative importance of each expense to the total cost. The analyses show that total expenses very significantly with the change of the following costs: cost for conveyance losses, net construction, maintenance, and land acquisition, in that order However, other expenses contribute little if not at all to the total. The results indicate that bench flumes should be adopted as main canal structures for most irrigation districts in the Republic.

Annual demand of a precast concrete bench flume used in the irrigation canal of arable land readjustment has continuously increased units recently. The average life time of the precast concrete bench flume was estimated $8{\sim}10$ years, which is too shorter than the life time of in-site placed concrete structures. In order to increase the compressive strength of the precast concrete bench flumes, the highest temperature of being lower than $95^{\circ}C$ was suggested in this study, Through analyzing the relation between the compressive strength and the amount of chloride penetration into concrete specimens, a new formula early estimating durability of the concrete structure was suggested.

The hydraulic structures such as aqueduct tunnels and the drainage canal of the hydroelectric power plant in Japan are almost old. Therefore, the concrete surface of the aqueduct tunnel has received damage by wear-out and the crack, etc. This study was to develop repair mortar mixed a coal ash coarse powder by using two kinds of high early strength cements. As a result, the repair mortar was obtained by substituting the EF cement (maid in Japan) and the MT cement (maid in South Korea) at a rate of 60:40, and substituting the coal ash 30% and the mixing rate 35% of the artificial aggregate for natural fine aggregate.

The hydraulic structure of the hydroelectric power plant such as aqueduct tunnels and the drainage canal became old. Therefore, because the concrete surface of the aqueduct tunnel has received severe damage by wear-out and the crack etc the repair is demanded. This research examined the applicability of the repair mortar which mixed the fly ash and an artificial aggregate by using the very high early strength cement. As a result, good Quality repair mortar which satisfied the demand performance more than self-flow 270mm and compressive strength $50N/mm^2$ (age of 28days) adjusting of water cement ratio by using the MTX cement be able to be manufactured.

Mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$) of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely investigated under various patterns of test specimen geometries. Most of these studies were focused on single type fiber reinforced concrete. There is a lack in such studies for hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. In the current study, an experimental investigation of evaluating mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$) of hybrid fiber embedded in high strength concrete matrix has been reported. Three different types of fibers; namely steel (S), glass (G), and polypropylene (PP) fibers were mixed together in four hybridization patterns (S/G), (S/PP), (G/PP), (S/G/PP) with constant cumulative volume fraction ($V_f$) of 1.5 %. The concrete matrix properties were kept the same for all hybrid FRC patterns. In an attempt to estimate a fairly accepted value of fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$, four testing geometries and loading types are employed in this investigation. Three different ratios of notch depth to specimen width (a/w) 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 were implemented in this study. Mode II fracture toughness of concrete $K_{IIc}$ was found to decrease with the increment of a/w ratio for all concretes and test geometries. Mode II fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$ was sensitive to the hybridization patterns of fiber. The (S/PP) hybridization pattern showed higher values than all other patterns, while the (S/G/PP) showed insignificant enhancement on mode II fracture toughness ($K_{IIc}$). The four point shear test set up reflected the lowest values of mode II fracture toughness $K_{IIc}$ of concrete. The non damage defect concept proved that, double edge notch prism test setup is the most reliable test to measure pure mode II of concrete.
