This study was conducted to propose a reasonable requirement regulation of barrier system of rubble mound revetment offshore landfill for preventing contaminant leakage. The barrier is composed with bottom layer and side barrier. The bottom layer was assumed as impermeable clay layer and side barrier was composed with HDPE sheet (primary element) and mid-protection layer (supplementary element). Seepage-advection-dispersion numerical analysis has been conducted using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W programs under steady flow. As the results, the minimum required barrier regulations for hydraulic conductivity and thickness of the bottom layer were suggested. For side barrier, the extended length of HDPE sheet and the hydraulic conductivity of mid-protection layer were also suggested.

In order to prevent leakage of leachate in offshore landfill, hydraulic barrier is indispensable. In the case of rubble mound revetment at offshore landfill, HDPE sheet in slope should be installed. In this study, seepage analysis were performed to evaluate seepage and flow in the seabed and revetment according to extended length of HDPE sheet by using SEEP/W. Results show that, in the case of low permeability layer is distributed where extended length of HDPE sheet was more than 1m, seepage flux in seabed and revetment was greatly reduced. In order to prevent seepage in seabed and revetment in the case of sand layer of high permeability is existed above low permeable layer, extended length of HDPE sheet and impermeable improvement width of permeable layer should be more than 1m at seabed.

Because of the rapid rising of water related disasters due to the global warming, the extreme design criteria of levee construction for severe flood has been applied in several developed countries such as USA and Netheland. In Korea, the national river restoration projects were carried out on 4 major rivers in recent several years. The projects consisted of riverbed dredge and levee reinforcement, and new construction have caused wide change of river environment. However, concrete countermeasures for levee safety and river management have not been suggested until now. Therefore, this study assesses the levee safety of Yulji levee located in Hoechon, Nakdong Basin, where the Levee Seepage Monitoring System installed. The stability of levee is assessed based on the simulation performed by SEEP/W(2D unsaturated seepage model) and the simulated results are compared with the observed data. The effects of the flood wave and levee shape on the levee safety are investigated through several simulations.

In this study, a new technique for evaluating the flood vulnerability of river banks is proposed. For this purpose, flood quantities of the basin were estimated based on the future climate change scenarios and the infiltration stability was evaluated by analyzing the infiltration behavior using SEEP/W which is a 2D groundwater infiltration model of the levee. The size of the river levee was investigated. The size of river levee was investigated by selecting the target area. The safety factor of the levee was analyzed considering the current flood level of the levee and the flood level considering the climate change. The factor needed to analyze the levee vulnerability was derived. We analyzed the vulnerability of the levee considering the change of the levee level according to the climate change scenarios. Levee Flood Vulnerability Index (LFVI) were used to evaluate the vulnerability of the levee.

하천제방은 가장 치수효과가 높은 홍수방어시설로서 홍수 시 유수를 원활하게 소통시키고 제내지를 보호하기 위해 하천을 따라 축조한 시설이다. 누수에 의한 제방파괴는 제내지 제체에 드러난 포화표면이 결정적인 요인이 되므로 침윤선을 낮추어 제체하부에 위치하도록 해야 하며 누수가 발생한 제방에 대해서는 적절한 보강기법을 적용해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 하천제방 축조 또는 보강 시 누수에 의한 파괴를 방지하기 위한 방법으로 미국 공병단과 일본 국토기술연구센터에서 사용하는 기법 중 하나인 배수공을 두어 침윤선을 조절하는 방법을 적용하였다. 구체적으로 공병단과 일본 국토기술연구센터에서 제시하는 배수공을 가지는 경우의 제방 실험 및 수치 모형 보정 결과를 비교하였다. 침투 수치 모의는 SEEP/W 프로그램으로 검토하였다. 실험에 적용한 제방의 규격은 제방폭 2.6 m, 둑마루폭 0.4 m, 사면경사 1:2, 제방 높이 0.55 m, 수위 0.5 m이다. 배수공이 없는 제방은 사면에서 누수가 발생하였으며, 배수공 바닥폭이 0.4 m인 공병단과 일본 국토기술연구센터에서 제시하는 배수공을 설치하였을 때는 누수가 발생하지 않았다. 같은 배수공 바닥폭을 가지는 공병단과 일본 국토기술연구센터식 배수공을 설치한 제방의 실험을 비교한 결과, 일본국토기술연구센터식 배수공을 설치한 제방의 침윤선이 공병단식 배수공을 설치한 제방보다 낮았다. 즉, 일본 국토기술연구센터식 사각형 배수공이 다소 안정한 것으로 분석되었다.

우리나라에서 발생하는 사면재해는 7월${\sim}$9월, 즉 태풍 및 집중호우가 발생하는 시기에 대부분 나타나며 이를 통해 강우는 사면재해를 유발시키는 가장 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있다. 사면재해는 매우 짧은 시간에 일어나며, 큰 피해를 발생시키는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 강우 발생시 사면의 안정성을 검토하는 경우에 보다 합리적으로 강우의 특성을 적용할 수 있다면 강우로 인해 발생될 수 있는 사면재해를 미리 예측하고 이에 대비할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 사면 해석시 강우에 대한 인자는 강우강도를 적용하며, 이는 사면에 거의 모든 강우가 침투된다고 가정하여 지하수위를 산정하지만, 이는 유출을 고려하지 않은 결과이다. 본 논문에서는 지하수위 예측 프로그램인 SEEP/W 프로그램을 이용하여 침투량에 따른 사면의 지하수위 변화를 예측해 보았다. 이를 위해 기상청 산하 서울 지점의 1961년부터 2005년까지의 시간 강우량 자료를 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정하였고, 산정된 값을 해석적 침투모형에 의하여 침투량을 계산하여 합리적으로 침투량을 해석단면에 적용하여 지하수위가 시간에 따라 어떻게 변화하는 지를 연구하였다.

Most of the current drainage criteria have been developed on the basis of experimental field results and theoretical analyses of infiltration under saturated conditions. The objective of this study is to extend the understanding of pavement drainage systems by considering unsaturated condition in the sublayers. Analyses of unsaturated flows through pavements was performed by running finite element program(SEEP/W) with a range of pavement materials and drainage parameters. Meanwhile, the widely used DRIP program developed by FHWA is based on assumption of saturated condition of pavements. Differences between saturated and unsaturated condition in the sublayers of the pavements are verified. It is verified that for unsaturated conditions time to drain would take longer time compared to saturated condition.

The finite element analysis of transient water flow through unsaturated soils was used to investigate effects of hydraulic characteristics, initial relative degree of saturation, methods to consider boundary condition, and rainfall intensity and duration on water pressure in slopes. The finite element method with shear strength reduction technique was used to evaluate the stability of slopes under rainfall. The slope-related disasters in Korea usually occur between July and September during the typhoon and localized heavy rain. This means that the rainfall is the most important factor that leads to the slope-related disasters. The slope-related disasters can happen at very short time and lead to big damage. To forecast the change of the heave of the groundwater in slope the Seep/w program was used.
