Sediment load deposited in sewers and manholes reduces not only the capacity of pipes but also the efficiency of the whole sewer system. This causes the inundations of the low places and overflows at manholes, Moreover, sulfides and bad odor can occur due to deposited sediment with organic loads in manholes. Movements of sediment load in manholes are complicated depending on manhole size, location, inside structure, sediment load type, and time. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the movements of sediment load in manholes by experiments. In this study, experiments were implemented by a square manhole with straight path to measure deposited sedimentation quantity. The experimental apparatus was consisted of a high water tank, an upstream tank, test pipes, a sediment supplier, a manhole, and a downstream tank to measure the experimental discharge. The quantity of deposited sediment load was measured by different conditions, such as the inflow condition of sediment(continuous and certain period), the amount of inflow sediment, discharge, and the type of sediment. Jumoonjin sand(S=2.63, D50=0.55mm), general sand(GS, S=2.65, D50=1.83mm) and anthracite (S=1.45, D50=0.80mm) were employed for the experiment. The velocities in inflow pipe were 0.45 m/s, 0.67 m/s, and 0.9 m/s. Sediment load movement and sedimentation quantity in manhole were influenced by many factors such as velocity, shear stress, viscosity, amount of sediment, sediment size, and specific gravity. Suggested regression equations can estimated the quantity of deposited sediment in the straight path square manholes. The connoted equations that were evaluated through the experimental study have velocity range from 0.45 to 0.9m/sec. The study results illustrates that appropriation of design velocity ragne between 1.0 and 2.0m/sec could implement to maintain and manage manholes.

In this study, static tests were done on the joints between precast manholes and the joints between manhole and sewer. The static loading tests in not only elastic range but also ultimate state of model members were carried out to investigate the bond strength and ultimate load of a joint of precast manholes. Specimens were tested in bending, horizontal shear, horizontal shear of circumferencial direction and direct tension. The results of tests indicated good structural performance of the joints between precast manholes and the joints between manhole and sewer.

Urban sewer systems are designed to operate in open-channel flow regime and energy loss at circular manholes are usually not significant. However, the energy loss at manholes, often exceeding the friction loss of pipes under surcharge flow, is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the head loss associated with manholes, especially in surcharge flow. Hydraulic experimental apparatus with two circular manholes was installed for this study. The range of the experimental discharges were from $1.0\ell/sec$ to $4.4\ell/sec$. Head loss coefficient was maximum because of strong oscillation of water surface when the range of manhole depth ratios$(h_m/D_{in})$ were from 1,2 to 1.25. The average head loss coefficients for upstream manhole and downstream manhole were 0.58 and 0.23 respectively. Head loss at upstream manhole is nearly 2.5 times more than one at downstream manhole.

Energy loss at manholes, often exceeding friction loss of pipes under surcharged flow, is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban areas. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze head loss at manholes, especially in case of surcharged flow. Hydraulic experiments were conducted with three cases. Case A is to test whether the shapes of the manholes influence head loss coefficients. Case B and C were proposed to further reduce head losses by improving the manhole hydraulic efficiency. In case B, the joining part of the pipe at both shapes of manholes is shifted from central part to side part. The test in case C is to check the average head loss coefficient by installing the side benching in square manhole, based on shifted joining part model. The average head loss coefficient for circular and square manhole on case A was 1.6. This did not show much difference of the head loss coefficients in spite of the discharge variation in this case. However, case B and C show large difference between head loss coefficients due to the strong oscillation of water surface and the horizontal swirl motion. The circular and square manholes in case B reduced the head loss by 30% and 6% than ones in case A, respectively. The average head loss coefficient for circular manhole in case B was 1.1. Case C reduced average loss coefficients of the square manhole in case A from 1.6 to 1.1. Accordingly, the circular manhole in case B and the square manhole in case C showed the effective way to reduce the head loss. These head loss coefficients could be available to apply to the urban sewer system with surcharged flow.

Urban sewer systems are designed to operate in open-channel flow regime and energy loss at square manholes is usually not significant. However, the energy loss at surcharged manholes is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the head loss associated with manholes, especially in surcharged flow. Hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change the manhole inner profile(CASE I, II, III, and IV) and the invert types(CASE A, B, C) were installed for this study. The experimental discharge was $16{\ell}/sec$. As the ratio of b/D(manhole width/inflow pipe diameter) increases, head loss coefficient increases due to strong horizontal swirl motion. The head loss coefficients for CASE I, II, III, and IV were 0.46, 0.38, 0.28 and 0.37, respectively. Side covers increase considerably drainage capacity at surcharged square manhole when the ratio of d/D(side cover diameter/inflow pipe diameter) was 1.0. The head loss coefficients for CASE A, B, and C were 0.45, 0.37, and 0.30, respectively. Accordingly, U-invert is the most effective for energy loss reduction at surcharged square manhole. This head loss coefficients could be available to evaluate the urban sewer system with surcharged flow.

도시유역의 침수해석에 널리 사용되는 XP-SWMM 모형은 맨홀을 하나의 절점(node)으로 간주하여 과부하 맨홀에서 발생하는 국부 손실의 영향을 고려하지 못하기 때문에 침수 면적(범위)을 과소 산정한다. 그러므로 XP-SWMM을 이용한 침수해석 시 과부하 맨홀에서의 국부손실을 고려한 손실계수의 적용성 분석이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 내수 침수피해가 빈번히 발생하는 도림천 유역의 도림1 배수분구를 활용하여 맨홀 형태 및 손실계수 적용 유무에 따른 침수면적의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 침수모의 결과, 손실계수를 고려한 경우가 고려하지 않은 경우보다 실제 침수면적과의 일치율이 약 17% 증가하였다. 또한 중간맨홀 및 합류맨홀($90^{\circ}$접합, 3방향 및 4방향 접합 맨홀)에 따른 각각의 손실계수를 적용하여 침수 해석한 결과 중간맨홀의 손실계수만을 적용한 것과 유사한 결과가 도출되었다. 그러므로 도시지역의 침수지역을 정확하게 모의하기 위해서는 과부하 맨홀에서의 손실계수를 고려한 2차원 침수해석을 수행하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 연구결과는 도시지역의 침수 위험지역을 파악하기 위한 기초적인 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

일반적으로 도심지 배수시설로 설치되는 맨홀은 중간맨홀, $90^{\circ}$ 접합맨홀, 3방향 합류맨홀 및 4방향 합류맨홀 등 다양한 접합 형태를 가지고 있다. 특히 도시유역의 중․하류부에 주로 설치되는 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 과부하흐름은 에너지 손실을 발생시켜 도심지의 침수피해를 가중시키는 주요 원인이다. 그러므로 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 흐름특성 분석 및 손실계수의 산정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현황조사 결과를 고려하여 수리실험 장치를 제작하였으며, 맨홀 및 관경은 하수도 시설기준을 준용하여 1/5로 축소 제작하였다. 선정된 실험조건인 맨홀 형상 조건(사각형, 원형), 유출유량($Q_{out}$)에 대한 측면유입유량($Q_{lat}$)의 비($Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$) 및 실험 유량(2.0, 3.0, 4.0, $4.8{\ell}/sec$)을 변화시키면서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 측면유량비가 증가할수록 손실계수는 증가하였으며, 사각형 맨홀보다 원형 맨홀에서의 손실계수가 다소 낮게 산정되었다. 그러나 유출유량 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화는 미미하였다. 측면유량비에 따른 과부하 4방향 합류맨홀의 손실계수는 0.4~0.8로 산정되었다. 또한, 측면유량비 변화를 고려한 4방향 합류맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정식을 제시하였다.

일반적으로 관거 및 맨홀 등의 도시 배수 시스템에서의 유사 및 유송잡물의 퇴적은 유수 흐름의 저항, 합류식 하수도의 조기 운영 및 도시 침수 및 주수로에서의 필연적인 오염 발생 등의 하수도 시설에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 배수관과 연결된 합류맨홀에서 유사의 거동 특성 및 퇴적 양상을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 문헌조사 및 현장조사를 실시하여 실험장치를 제작하고 실험조건을 선정하였다. 선정된 실험조건인 맨홀 형상 조건(사각형, 원형), 유사 유입 조건, 유입 유사량 및 유사 유입 관거를 변화시키면서 실시하였다. 맨홀 내부에 경사형 benching을 설치한 개선형 합류맨홀은 맨홀의 형상에 관계없이 합류맨홀 내 유사퇴적을 저감시키는 데에 상당한 효과를 나타내고 있으므로 도시 배수 시스템에서 개선형 합류맨홀은 관거 시설의 배수능력을 증대시킬 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, SWMM model is used to reproduce the main storm sewer system located in the Nae-Hang drainage basin of the Mokpo city and keep track of flood discharge. Given the outlet of the reaches border the coastline, this paper has taken the dual-drainage approach to perform inundation simulation, considering both the overflows and inflows at the manholes of the sewer system, and at the same time, taking the impacts of tidal stage into consideration. The following conclusions are reached in this study: First, when planning lowland sewer system alongside the coastline or the riverside, the tidal stage or flood stage need to be considered in the planning and design processes. Second, an analysis that fails to consider overflow and inundation at the manholes may overestimate inundation depth of the flooded area. In other words, in order to estimate flood discharge and flood stage in a lowland storm sewer system, it is desirable to analyze the conveyance capacity of storm sewer system and simulate overflow and inundation at the manholes at the same time.

Confined spaces are inherently dangerous workplace and many fatal and nonfatal accidents have been reported. Even though these accidents occur in various kinds of confined spaces, there has rarely been reported on the health hazard agent, i.e., the types of gases and their concentration ranges. Therefore in this study, we evaluated several toxic and asphyxiating gas concentrations in various confined spaces. We surveyed 57 manholes, 3 sewage treatment plants, 2 yellow radish manufacturing companies and 7 barges to measure the concentrations of oxygen($O_2$), hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$), carbon monoxide(CO), ammonia($NH_3$). Lower Explosion Limits(LEL) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Those four types of confined spaces occupies 56% of accidents during last 9 years in Korea. In 57 manholes, the concentration varied according to the types of manholes; rainfall and sewage, and by location; residential and industrial areas. Sewage manhole in industrial area was evaluated as the most hazardous than other types of manhole like rainfall manholes, residential sewage manholes. The highest $H_2S$ concentration and the lowest $O_2$ concentration at sewage manhole in industrial area were 300 ppm, 8.7% respectively. In 3 sewage treatment plants, $H_2S$ and $NH_3$ concentrations were reached up to the 500 ppm and 200 ppm respectively. Two yellow radish manufacturing companies showed the concentrations of 316 ppm, 505.2 ppm, 90 ppm and 15.7% for $H_2S$, CO, VOCs and $O_2$, respectively. Seven barges showed 15.9%~20.9% oxygen concentration. Gas species and concentration ranges varied by the types and location of confined spaces; CO, $H_2S$, $O_2$ could be hazardous in manhole, especially manhole connected to sewage plants. CO, $H_2S$, LEL, $O_2$, $NH_3$ should be controlled in sludge silo and sluge pumping confined spaces in sewage treatment plant. The activity of lifting out radish from the storage tank was evaluated more hazardous rather than the other activities in yellow radish manufacturing industry. The employers must conduct the survey to identify all possible confined spaces in their local workplace prior to performing the tasks. At the national level to reduce the accidents in the confined spaces, we suggest that systemic approach and active education program including possible hazards, standard operation procedures, ventilation plan, and personal protective equipment in confined spaces should be implemented.
