Recently, due to the frequent occurrence of localized torrential rains and heat waves caused by abnormal climates. For this reason, it is necessary to develop an economical and eco-friendly rainwater detention facility that can secure the groundwater level through rainwater detention as well as flood prevention against concentrated rainfall by simultaneously implementing rainwater permeation and storage. In this study, the structural safety of an eco-friendly rainwater infiltration type detention facility made using eco-friendly inorganic binders including red clay was examined. Static analysis considering the constant load and additional vertical load and dynamic analysis considering the seismic spectrum were performed. As a result, it was found that the eco-friendly prefabricated rainwater infiltration type detention facility developed in this study has a maximum stress of about 68.1% to 75.4% and a maximum displacement of about 0.9% to 9.6% under the same load and seismic conditions compared to the existing PE block rainwater detention facility. It was confirmed that the eco-friendly prefabricated rainwater infiltration type detention facility secured excellent structural stability.

This study proposes rainwater infiltration retention blocks as a solution to the flooding problems caused by recent climate change and developed a flood prediction simulation program to select the optimal site for installing rainwater infiltration retention blocks that can minimize damage from floods. By applying the existing 2D flood analysis model G2D and adding a reservoir function, the volume of water before and after installation can be determined through simulation results.

In this study, the performance evaluation and structural safety of rainwater permeation detention block were analyzed. As a result, the compressive strength (19.3 MPa), flexural strength (5.2 MPa), and permeability coefficient (2.0 mm/s) of the eco-friendly prefabricated rainwater permeable detention block satisfied the KS F 4419 and SPS-KCIC0001-0703 and it was confirmed sufficient safety even under maximum load.

To manage rainwater environmentally friendly, it is necessary to let the rainwater be infiltrated naturally and make reservoirs to detain it in the chosen spot. Not only should it be prepared to handle the city flood, but also it be a necessary alternative for establishing the ecological water circular system in cities. Therefore, considering the present rainwater. management system, this study analysed the status of products which can be interchanged from existent systems to rainwater infiltrating systems. In this study, the infiltrating equipment that is applicable to the Korean drainage system was developed. The case was studied out to investigate the effects of infiltrating and the detaining ability of the developed product. The case site, block 6 of Sang-am residence, was selected and analyzed. The amount of infiltration and detention per unit of the introduced facilities, i.e., infiltrating pipes and tanks were calculated. In this research, the amount of each infiltrating tank was revealed to be 1.353 m/hr and the amount of detention as 0.299 m/hr. And the amount of each infiltrating pipe was found to be 0.541 m/hr and the amount of detention was 0.118 m/hr. To examine the effects of the system, the total amount of the outlet before and after installing was compared and calculated. In doing this, a basis for deciding the arrangement and number of tanks and pipes of the infiltrating system was made.

This study addresses the escalating flood damages prompted by recent climate shifts characterized by extreme weather events and proposes rainwater infiltration blocks as a potential solution. Recognizing the limitations inherent in existing inundation simulation methods, we advocate for the integration of novel functionalities, particularly leveraging drone technology. Our research endeavors encompass experimental assessments of inundation and flooding simulation technologies. These evaluations are conducted within areas where rainwater infiltration storage blocks have been implemented, juxtaposed against existing programs utilizing Digital Elevation Models(DEM) and Digital Surface Models(DSM). Through this comparative analysis and a meticulous scrutiny of the adaptability of inundation and flooding simulation to real-world deployment scenarios, we ascertain the efficacy of the simulation program as a decision-making tool for identifying optimal sites for rainwater infiltration storage block installation.
