In 1996, a cold-water damage occured in the paddy field at the downstream of the Umoon dam. To study the cause and the preventive measures of the cold-water damage a field study was performed during the growing season of 1997. Field measurements such as water temperatures at reservoir, irrigation canal and in the paddy field were made. As a result, there was no cold-water damage due to the right irrigation water management practice in 1997. The cold-water damage is possible to happen, however, and the preventive measures were provided.

콘크리트 중력댐 상부면의 균열에 작용하는 수압의 영향을 주로 고려하여 댐의 파괴거동을 조사하였다. 첫째, 표면적분법에 의하여 응력확대계수를 구하는 경우에 작용하는 수압의 형태를 등분포형태 외에, 삼각형 분포 및 포물선분포도 고려하여 보았다. 둘째, FRANC(FRacture Analysis Code)를 이용하여 균열면에 작용하는 수압의 형태에 따른 기존균열의 전파방향을 추적하였다. 셋째, 월류수위 아래에서 균열이 전파되지 않을 수 있는 한계균열길이를 수압의 분포형태에 따라 구분하여 구하여 보았다. 표면적분법으로 수압의 형태에 따라 응력확대계수를 구한 결과는 FRANC를 이용하여 얻어진 결과와 비교 되었으며 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 균열면에 작용하는 수압의 형태가 삼각형분포의 경우에 균열의 전파방향은 등분포의 경우에 비하여 댐의 기초쪽으로 기우는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 월류수위 아래에서 한계균열길이는 댐높이의 대략 2/5-1/2되는 곳에서 최대가 됨을 알 수 있었다.

This pa야r 15 an attempt to aα:ount for the uncertainty of the residual strength in the reliability analysis of structural systems. For this purpose the stochastic finite element meth여(SFEM) is li띠<ed to the system reliability analysis pr'∞edure. The stochastic finite element is known to be able to a more explicitly ∞nsider the effect of uncerainties of material and g∞metric variables on those of load effects in structural analysis prlα:edure. The method has been applied to system as well as comφnent reliability analysis of a plane structure. Comparison of the results by the present approach is made with the method in which the residual strength of f려led ∞mponent is treated as deterministic variable. Several case studies have been carriE최 to show the effect of uncertainty in residual strength of a member after failure. Is has been ∞nform어 that reidual strength very much affect the system reliability level. It can be, hence, ∞ncluded that the uncertainties in the αlSt-ultimate behaviour may have to be t혀<en mto account in the system reliability analy의s for a better a s않ssment of the system reliability especially for a struct파e of which member behaviour is m여ell어 as asemi-brittle model.And then the sto .:hastic finite element method can efh디ently evaluate the system reliability.
