Owing to the changing climate and recent flood events, flood damage caused by river levee collapse and overflow is on the rise in Korea, making it necessary to enhance river levee maintenance technologies to deal with various flood damage scenarios. This paper proposes the evaluation system of a river-levee safety map to improve maintenance efficiency and disaster responsiveness. A river-levee safety map, indicating sliding, piping, visual inspection, scouring, and safety index of a levee fill material on a GIS map will enable the dangerous zone to be identified visually and the development of proactive measures to deal with it. This will maximize the river-levee maintenance efficiency, which is a break from traditional practice in that restoration measures are taken only after the damage has occurred. This study includes scouring and levee fill material in addition to previously-proposed sliding, piping and visual inspections. The research activities conducted in the study include 1) categorization of scouring and levee fill material based on document and data examination, 2) evaluation of sliding and piping at 5 locations on the left levee in the Nam river according to the duration time of the flood water level, and 3) evaluation of the characteristics of scouring and levee fill material at 9 locations on the left/right levee in the Nam River. The river levee safety map proposed in this study would be more useful and practical but further study on the manual for river management organization, repair and reinforcement methods, and budget is required.

A coupled river-overland hydrodynamic model was applied to estimate flood risk by a scenario-based approach. The study area is Seongseo Industrial Complex in Daegu which is located near Nakdong river and Geumho river. Inundation depth and velocity at each time were calculated by applying a coupled 1D/2D hydrodynamic model to the target area of interest. The 2D inundation analysis for river and overland domain was performed with the scenario-based approach that there are levee overflow against 100/200 year high quantile (97.5%) design flood and levee break against 100/200 year normal quantile (50%) design flood. The level of flood risk was displayed for resident/industrial area using information about maximum depth and velocity of each node computed from the 2D inundation map. The research outcome would be very useful in establishing specified emergency action plans (EAP) in case of levee break and overflowing resulting from a flood.

The numerical model named "DWOPER-LEV" for the uncertainty analysis of flood inundation is developed. DWOPER model is expanded to compute overtopping risks of levee and to predict the range of the possible flood extent. Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to examine the uncertainties in cross section geometry and Manning's roughness coefficient. The model is applied to an actual levee break of the South Han River. The risks of overtopping are computed and the possible range of inundated area and inundated depth are estimated.

Levee failure cause the huge amount of damage to human and property. Overflow and erosion of levee are primary cause of a break in a levee but the analysis of breach pattern and impact is partially inadequate. The flow characteristics of meandering rivers are very important in field of river hydraulics that should be studied in practical viewpoints relating to river levee. In meandering the secondary flow that rotary direction is changed reciprocally occurs in three dimension is known. In this study flow characteristics of local river are considered and of meandering channels are analyzed using CCHE2D and FLOW3D. The stability and accuracy of models are examined comparing the measuring and analyzed data for the experimental channel and natural river(Namgang). Consequently, the flow characteristics in a meandering river are suggested precisely and it is essential that river levees having meandering river should be analyzed.

Levee line mapping is critical to the protection of environments in river zones, the prevention of river flood and the development of river zones. Use of the remote sensing data such as LiDAR and aerial orthoimage is efficient for river mapping due to their accessibility and higher accuracy in horizontal and vertical direction. Airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) has been used for river zone mapping due to its ability to penetrate shallow water and its high vertical accuracy. Use of image source is also efficient for extraction of features by analysis of its image source. Therefore, aerial orthoimage also have been used for river zone mapping tasks due to its image source and its higher accuracy in horizontal direction. Due to these advantages, in this paper, research on three dimensional levee line mapping is implemented using LiDAR and aerial orthoimage separately. Accuracy measurement is implemented for both extracted lines generated by each data using the ground truths and statistical comparison is implemented between two measurement results. Statistical results show that the generated 3D levee line using LiDAR data has higher accuracy than the generated 3D levee line using aerial orthoimage in horizontal direction and vertical direction.

An inundation analysis was performed on Hwapocheon, one of the tributaries of Nakdong River, which was inundated by heavy rain in August, 2002 with overtopping and levee break. The results of the developed model, 2D diffusion wave inundation analysis model, was compared with inundation trace map as well as inundation depth in terms of time and maximum inundated area calculated from FLUMEN model for the assessment of model applicability. The results from the developed model showed high fitness of 88.61% in comparison with observed data. Also maximum inundated area and spatial distribution of inundation zone were also found to be consistent with the results of FLUMEN model. Therefore, inundation zone and maximum inundation area calculated over a period of time by adopting 2D diffusion wave inundation analysis model can be used as a database for identifying high risk areas of inundation and establishing flood damage reduction measures.

One- and two-dimensional coupling model has been developed to analyze the flood inundation aspect of protected lowland. One-dimensional model solves the Saint-Venant equations by the Preissmann method, and two-dimensional model solves the shallow water equation by the integrated finite difference method. The coupling model approximates unsteady supercritical and subcritical flow, backwater flooding effects, and escaping and returning flow from two-dimensional flow model to channel system. The model has been applied to the levee failure in the Nakdong river during September 13 through 15, 2000. Velocity distributions and inundated depths were presented to demonstrate model simulation results.

도시하천유역에서 집중호우에 따른 제방 범람과 이에 따른 침수 피해범위를 해석하기 위하여 우리나라의 대표적 도시하천인 중랑천 시험유역에서의 하천의 홍수 및 제방붕괴 특성 분석을 중심으로 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 100년, 200년, PMF의 빈도별 강우 조건에서 홍수량을 각각 산정하였고, 제방붕괴조건별 하천의 부정류 해석 및 제내지의 홍수범람해석을 실시하였다. 제방붕괴의 조건으로서 붕괴시간(10, 30, 60분), 붕괴폭(10, 20, 30m) 및 제방붕괴위치(중상류부, 중류부, 중하류부) 등에 따른 홍수위, 월류량 및 제내지 침수 수위 변화 등을 검토하였다. 홍수규모와 제방붕괴 양상 및 위치에 따른 월류량 및 제내지에서의 침수 범위를 각각 계산하고 비교 검토한 결과, 제방붕괴의 위치 및 붕괴폭이 홍수범람규모와 침수피해에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다.

하천제방은 홍수의 위험 방지에 중요한 역할을 하며 하천의 범람으로부터 제내지의 인명, 가옥, 재산, 각종 시설물 등을 보호하기 위하여 설치되는 시설물로서 침수피해 방지와 같은 중요 기능을 가지고 있다. 이러한 하천제방의 적정규모를 결정하기 위해서는 대상지역의 수리 수문학적 특성, 지형조건에 관한 조사 및 연구 이외에 경제적인 검토가 수반되어야 하며, 제대로 검토되지 않을 경우 제방이 누수 또는 침하, 붕괴되어 범람방지 기능을 상실하는 현상이 일어나게 된다. 국내 하천유역에서도 과거 전국에 걸쳐 제방 붕괴현상이 일어나 많은 범람침수 피해가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 제방붕괴의 일반적인 원인으로 지적되고 있는 월류, 제체의 불안정, 과도한 변위, 급격한 수위의 감소 등으로 발생할 수 있는 현상 및 문제점들을 검토하였다. 이로부터 기하학적 인자, 수리학적 인자, 수공구조물 인자, 정성적 인자 등 4가지 분류로 구분하였으며, 총 12가지 세부인자를 제시하였다. 제시된 인자를 토대로 시험 대상유역인 감천과 남강에 적용하여 인자별 영향을 산정하였으며, 이로부터 위험도를 평가하였다.

태풍이나 국지성 집중호우로 인해 하천에서 발생하는 재해는 제방이 붕괴되면서 제내지가 침수되거나 제방의 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우로 인해 하도 홍수량이 제방을 월류하는 경우와 하천에 설치되어 있는 수공구조물이 피해를 입거나 구조물로 인한 주변이 침수되는 경우 등 수많은 재해 양상이 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천에서 수해를 유발하게 되는 여러 가지 원인들 가운데 하천 중심에서 중요도를 판단하여 위험인자를 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 10개의 대상인자들을 선정하여 기하학적 인자, 수리학적 인자, 수공구조물 그리고 정성적 인자로 구분하였으며, 세부 인자들에 대해 재해 유발과 관련된 중요도를 조사하기 위해 수자원분야 전문가를 포함한 다양한 분야의 전문가들을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 설문결과를 토대로 인자들에 대한 가중치를 설정하였으며, 이를 주요 하천에 적용하여 하천별로 제방붕괴와 관련된 위험인자에 대한 영향을 검토하였다.
