Recently, the probable maximum precipitation (PMP) of dam sites has been greatly increased, compared to that in design, due to a rise in precipitation by abnormal weather, which led to an increase in National interest for dam safety. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a management system of dam safety. The main contents of the first stage($'03{\sim}'04$) of the project consisted of determining the object of management system of dam safety through researched present situation of dam safety management in domestic and reviewing operation for management system of dam safety in abroad. In the second stage($'05{\sim}'06$), the study pursues constructing a basis process of synthetic safety management system through dam safety program and developing a system that can judge dam safety with an improve in reliability of measurement data.

Recently, we can see an increasing amount of dam damage or failure due to aging, earthquakes occurrence and unusual changes in weather. For this reason, dam safety is gaining more importance than ever before in terms of disaster management at a national level. Therefore, the government is trying to come up with an array of legal actions to secure consistent dam safety. Other dam management organizations are also taking various institutional and technical measures for the same purpose. In this study, Dam Safety Management System, KDSMS, has developed for consistent and efficient dam safety management. The KDSMS consists of dam and reservoir data, a hydrological information system, a field inspection and data management system, a instrumentation and monitoring system including earthquake monitoring, a field investigation and safety evaluation system, and a collective information system. The KDSMS is a kind of enterprise management system which has been developed to deal with safety management of each field, research center, and headquarter office and their correlation as well as detailed safety information management.

The recent Sichuan earthquake(2008) in China and Iwate-Miyazaki earthquake(2008) in Japan give Korea peninsula warning that it is no more safety zone against damage by earthquake events. So, rapid and appropriate countermeasures for dam operation and management against earthquake are needed. In Korea earthquake design standard(MOCT, 1997) has been revised after Kobe earthquake. Installation of seismometer and monitoring of earthquake for special class dams is requlated in dam aseismic design standard(MOCT, 2001). Accelerometer installation project for existing dams has been carrying out by K-water to establish an earthquake network for dam safety. Real-time dam earthquake monitoring network has also been developed to detect an earthquake efficiently and to warn to dam administrators as soon as possible. In this study, dam real-time earthquake monitoring system developed by K-water was introduced and applicability of real earthquake record measured by this system to dam safety management was illustrated.

For various historical reasons and some technical reasons, the safety of dams has been controlled by an engineering standards-based approach, which has developed over many years, initially for the design of new dams, but increasingly applied over the past few decades to assess the safety of existing dams. And some countries were asked for risk assessment on existing dam, which included structural, hydraulic safety of dam and social risk. So, Many countries were developed and could be adapted as an additional tool to assist in decision-making for dam safety management.

And some countries were asked for risk assessment on existing dam, which included structural, hydraulic safety of dam and social risk. Whereas other countries have developed and adapted as an additional tool to assist in decision-making for dam safety management. Dam risk analysis should need the reliability data of dam failures, the past constructed history and management records of existing dam. It is thought with risk analysis method of dams for structural safety management in domestic that suitable to use consider an event tree, fault tree and conditioning indexes method.

For a fill dam, when a long time has passed since its completion, it is very hard to judge its safety and to maintain effectively it due to limitation and restriction in data showing safety status. Conventional method based on a specific point data by surface settlement gauge is commonly used to define deformation characteristic of dam. However, point data-based deformation analysis cannot provide deformation data of the entire dam. In this study a state-of-the-art terrestrial laser scanning technology is introduced to analyze the entire deformation of dam. As a result, it is known that 3D scanning technique can also be effectively used in evaluating dam safety and then establishing adequate maintain plan.

The main purposes of dam safety assessment are to predict risk of an existing dam and to reduce the identified risks reasonably. This study determined the risks of an existing dam for each different dam breach scenario using risk analysis. In addition, the application of risk analysis in the dam safety assessment made possible to compare and evaluate a variety of alternatives that may reduce risk of an existing dam with respect to the possibility of dam failure and economic efficiency, On the ground of the risk analysis results, the dam safety analysts can obtain better understanding and more information regarding the risk of and existing dam and recommended alternatives. Decision-makers will be able to manage risk of an existing dam efficiently by spending their affordable money and resources on the alternatives that are expected to reduce the risk of an existing dam practically.

Recently check dam construction number have been increased by becoming known that effectiveness in the control of the landslide and debris flow. However, check dam management standards are not setting yet. Therefore, this study was carried by provide a basic data for the check dam management and inspection in the Gangwondo. The followings are the results of safety inspection on the 274 check dams, which are located in mountain streams, Gangwondo, Republic of Korea. 1. It was determined that, of 274 check dams inspected, 267 check dams (97.4%) generally had a safe condition but 7 check dams (2.6%) had a bad condition that repair and/or complementary measures are required. 2. The check dams with a bad condition had the ages greater than approximately 20 years. This result should be reflected to future stream management strategy including a timing of the specific inspection for durability of check dams. 3. Our finding suggests that the safety inspection of check dams is able to provide basic information required to maintain their own functions, and thus it should be widely applied to stream management strategy against to sediment-related disasters in the future.

In this study, the behavioral characteristics of the fill dam were analyzed during water level fluctuations through a numerical analysis model, and the reservoir safety management plan was prepared. The variation in plastic deviatoric strain, horizontal displacement, stress path, pore water pressure, etc., due to elevation of water level in the upper and lower sides of shell and core were analyzed using numerical analysis software, viz. GTS NX and LIQCA. The analysis results manifest that as the water level in the dam body increases rapidly, the pore water pressure and displacement also increase quickly. It was found that the elevation of the water level causes an increase in pore water pressure in the dam body as well as an increase in the saturation of the dam body and decreased effective stress. It is considered that this type of dam behavior can be the cause of the reduction of strength and stiffness of the dam. Also, it is assumed that the accumulated plastic deviatoric strain due to the deformation of the dam body caused by water infiltration causes an increase in displacement. Based on these experimental results and the results of analyses of the existing reservoir safety diagnosis techniques, an improvement plan for dam safety diagnosis and evaluation criteria was proposed, and these results can be used as primary data while revising dam safety diagnosis guidelines.
