Abstract

In this study, a large-scale levee breach experiment from lateral overflow was conducted to verify the effect of the new reinforcement method applied to the levee’s surface. The new method could prevent levee failure and minimize damage caused by overflow in rivers. The levee was designed at the height of 2.5 m, a length of 12 m, and a slope of 1:2. A new material mixed with biopolymer powder, water, weathered granite, and loess in an appropriate ratio was sprayed on the levee body’s surface at a thickness of about 5 cm, and vegetation recruitment was also monitored. At the Andong River Experiment Center, a flow (4 m³/s) was introduced from the upstream of the A3 channel to induce the lateral overflow. The change of lateral overflow was measured using an acoustic doppler current profiler in the upstream and downstream. Additionally, cameras and drones were used to analyze the process of the levee breach. Also, a new method using 3D point cloud for calculating the surface loss rate of the levee over time was suggested to evaluate the performance of the levee reinforcement method. It was compared to existing method based on image analysis and the result was reasonable. The proposed 3D point cloud methodology could be a solution for evaluating the performance of levee reinforcement methods.

본 연구에서는 하천에서의 월류 발생에 따른 제방의 붕괴를 방지하거나 피해를 최소화하기 위한 신소재 보강공법을 제체 표면에 적용하여 그 효과를 검증하기 위한 실규모 횡월류 붕괴 실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험을 위해 제방 모형은 높이 2.5 m, 길이 12 m, 사면경사 1:2로 구성하였다. 또한 제방의 경우 습식 공법을 이용하여 바이오폴리머 분말, 물, 화강풍화토, 황토를 적정 비율로 혼합한 신소재를 제체 표면에 약 5 cm 두께로 분사한 뒤 식생활착 모니터링을 거쳐 최종 실험모형을 완성하였다. 안동하천연구센터 A3 수로 상류에서 4 m³/s 의 유량을 유입시켜 횡월류 흐름을 유도하였으며, 음향 도플러 유속계를 이용하여 상·하류의 유량 및 횡월류량의 변동을 측정하였다. 또한, 제방보강공법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 이미지 픽셀 기법 및 3차원 포인트 클라우드 모델링 기법을 활용한 시간에 따른 제방의 표면손실률을 산정함으로써 영상분석 기반의 새로운 평가 도구를 제시하였다. 본 연구결과를 적절하게 활용하게 되면 제방보강공법의 성능을 평가하는데 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
