The streams in Jeju Island have very distinctive hydrological and geological properties and there are a lot of limits in applying the general flood estimation method. This study presented parameters dominant in the Hancheon stream of Jeju Island by analyzing the sensitivity of parameters of HEC-HMS model regarding rainfall events in the target basin, and extracted the optimal parameter(Time of Concentration of Clark Unit Hydrograph: KravenⅡ method, Storage Coefficient: Sabol method) by analyzing and comparing it with the flood runoff data observed in the site and Jeju Island's observation data.

The effect of temperature on the removal process of Cr(VI) ion contained in wastewater by a precipitation method has been investigated for the improvement of its design and operation. The distribution diagram of chromium ion was constructed by employing the MINTEQ program and the quantitative feature of Cr(VI) depending on pH was investigated. As the temperature increases, the relative amount of H2CrO4 was examined to be raised and the pH range in which H2CrO4 exists as a stable form was also investigated to be extended according to the temperature. Cr(VI) ion was shown to be changed from HCrO4 − to Cr2O7 2− as the concentration of Cr(VI) ion is increased in the neutral pH condition and the concentration of Cr(VI) ion which is necessary for the ionic transformation was observed to rise in the acidic and alkaline conditions. The major reactant which involved in the reduction reaction for the removal of Cr(VI) ion was examined to be HCrO4 − and the reduction of Cr(VI) ion to Cr(III) ion was investigated to be influenced much by the temperature change at higher pH conditions. The reduction reaction of Cr(VI) ion for its removal as a precipitate was examined to be promoted as the temperature decreases and pH is lowered. In addition, the stable region of Cr(OH)3 was shown to be enlarged with temperature based on the thermodynamic estimation and it was thought to be necessary to design and control the precipitating process of Cr(VI) ion by considering the thermal characteristics of reduction and precipitation stage.

To investigate earthquake responses of structures with basements and soil deposits, centrifuge tests using an in-flight earthquake simulator were performed. The fixed and embedded basements did not reduce the earthquake responses of SDOF structures due to the dynamic behaviors of massive soil deposits.

For Kangjeong stream and Akgeun stream in the central part of the southern Jeju Island, on-site discharge estimation was carried out for approximately 10 months (July 2011-April 2012) twice a month on a regular basis by using ADCP (acoustic doppler current profiler) and long term rate of discharge was calculated by using SWAT (soil and water assessment tool) model. The discharge was 0.28-1.30 m 3 /sec for Kangjeong stream and 0.10-1.54 m 3 /sec for Akgeun stream. It showed the maximum in the summer and the minimum in the winter. As a result of parameter sensitivity analysis of SWAT model, CN (NRCS runoff curve number for moisture condition Ⅱ), SOL_AWC (available water capacity of the soil layer), and ESCO (soil evaporation compensation factor) showed sensitive responses. By using the result, the model was corrected and the rate of discharge was calculated. As a result, the annual discharge rate was 27.12-31.86(%) at the Akgeun basin and 23.55-28.43(%) at the Kangjeong basin.

Surface Image Velocimetry(SIV) is an instrument to measure water surface velocity by using image processing techniques. Since SIV is a non-contact type measurement method, it is very effective and useful to measure water surface velocity for steep mountainous streams, such as streams in Jeju island. In the present study, a surface imaging velocimetry system was used to calculate the flow rate for flood event due to a typhoon. At the same time, two types of electromagnetic surface velocimetries (electromagnetic surface current meter and Kalesto) were used to observe flow velocities and compare the accuracies of each instrument. The comparison showed that for velocity distributions root mean square error(RMSE) was 0.33 and R-squared was 0.72. For discharge measurements, root mean square error(RMSE) reached 6.04 and R-squared did 0.92. It means that surface image velocimetry could be used as an alternative method for electromagnetic surface velocimetries in measuring flood discharge.

Roughness coefficient was computed for review of applicability based on measurement of the representative grain diameter reflecting channel characteristics of Han Stream. After field survey, collection of bed material, and grain analysis on the collected bed material, roughness coefficient was computed using representative grain and existing empirical equation for roughness coefficient. Value of roughness coefficient calculated using equation by Meyer-Peter and Muller (1948) was 0.0417 for upstream, 0.0432 for midstream, and 0.0493 for downstream. As a result of comparing the computed roughness coefficient to other empirical equations for review of applicability, the coefficient was larger in Strickler (1923) equation by 0.006. Smaller coefficient was shown by Planning Report for River Improvement Works. Equation by Garde and Raju (1978) was larger by 0.004, and equations by Lane and Carlson (1953) and by Meyer-Peter and Muller (1948) were larger by 0.001. Such precise roughness coefficient is extremely important when computing the amount of flood in rivers to prevent destruction of downstream embankments and property damages from flooding. Since roughness coefficient is a factor determined by complicated elements and differs according to time and space, continued management of roughness coefficient in rivers and streams is deemed necessary.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) are increasingly popular in the river research and management communities being primarily used for estimation of stream flows. ADCPs capabilities, however, entail additional features that are not fully explored, such as morphological representation of river or reservoir bed based upon multi-beam depth measurements. In addition to flow velocity, ADCP measurements include river bathymetry information through the depth measurements acquired in individual 4 or 5 beams with a given oblique angle. Such sounding capability indicates that multi-beam ADCPs can be utilized as an efficient depth-sounder to be more capable than the conventional single-beam eco-sounders. The paper introduces the post-processing algorithms required to deal with raw ADCP bathymetry measurements including the following aspects: a) correcting the individual beam depths for tilt (pitch and roll); b) filtering outliers using SMART filters; d) transforming the corrected depths into geographical coordinates by UTM conversion; and, e) tag the beam detecting locations with the concurrent GPS information; f) spatial representation in a GIS package. The developed algorithms are applied for the ADCP bathymetric dataset acquired from Han-Cheon in Jeju Island to validate themselves applicability.

In order to evaluate earthquake response of structures affected by shallow soft soil deposits, centrifuge tests were performed. The test specimen was composed of a single-degree-of-freedom structure model, a shallow foundation and sub-soil deposits in a centrifuge container. The structure response directly measured from the test showed that a large rocking rotation occurred due to the soil-foundation interaction. Thus, the acceleration of the structure was significantly smaller than the fixed base structure response.

In this study, the existing precise inspection reports were collected and analyzed to perform evaluation of load carrying capacity in bridge due to increase of serviced life.

Recent advancement of domestic industries and imports and exports due to increased economic power with the rise, demands the construction of the harbor structures, and a variety of structures have been constructed of reinforced concrete. Most of these harbor facilities located in the uppe rpart of the repair and reinforcement does not work smoothly. In this paper, FRP Composite Panel shows the effect applied to the harbor facilities.

The variation of the stable region of lead ion in aqueous environment has been studied according to the temperature change based on its stable region at standard state by constructing Pourbaix diagrams at different temperatures. The temperature range considered was between 278 ~ 338 K and the stable region of Pb2+ (aq) was observed to decrease as temperature rises, which was due to the decrease of the stable region of water and the increase of the stable region of solid lead hydroxide. The solid lead compounds considered were PbO(s), Pb3O4(s), and PbO2(s), and the pH at the boundary between the stable regions of PbO(s) and Pb2+ (aq) was observed to be lowered with temperature. For Pb3O4(s) and PbO2(s), their stable regions were estimated to be enlarged as temperature is raised. Considering the change of the stable region of lead ion with temperature, in the application of the precipitating method for the treatment of lead ion in water it was considered to be more desirable to treat lead ion as its hydroxide form rather than its elemental form at higher temperature.

홍수 발생 시 모래하천의 수위-유량 관계가 고리형을 이룬다는 것은 많은 현장 계측을 통해 보고되어 왔다. 또한, 홍수파 해석이나 사련에서 사구로 변동되는 하상해석을 통해 고리형 수위-유량 관계의 원인이 규명되어서 고리의 형태나 진행 방향 등에 대해서는 이론적으로도 상당부분 입증되어 있다. 그러나 경사가 급한 자갈 및 암반으로 구성된 산지하천의 경우, 현장유량계측의 어려움과 관측 정확도의 문제로 고리형 수위-유량 관계에 대한 연구가 매우 드물었다. 본 논문은 자갈 및 암반 지형의 산지하천인 제주도 한천에서 2011년 태풍 무이파 때 계측한 홍수 유량을 바탕으로 수위-유량 관계를 구축하고, 자갈하천에서 형성되는 고리형 수위-유량 곡선을 분석하고자 한다. 유량계측 방식으로는 홍수기에 적합한 비접촉식인 전자파 표면유속계를 사용하여, 홍수의 상승기와 하강기의 유량을 시간 단위로 계측하는 데 성공했다. 계측결과 수위-유량관계에서 뚜렷한 고리 형상을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 고리의 이력이 모래하천과 정반대로 동일수위에서 상승기의 유량이 하강기의 유량보다 작은, 고리 경로의 역전 현상을 발견하였다. 이러한 역전현상은 자갈하천의 조도의 변화가 모래하천의 경우와 반대로 발생하는 데 기인하는 것으로 추정한다.

Due to the difficulties for measuring flood discharge in the dangerous field conditions, conventional instruments with relatively low accuracy such as float still have been widely utilized for the field survey. It is also limited to use simple stage-discharge relationship for assessment of the flood discharge, since the stage-discharge relationship during the flood becomes complicated loop shape. In recent years, various non-intrusive velocity measurement techniques such as electromagnetic wave or surface images have been developed, which is quite adequate for the flood discharge measurements. However, these new non-intrusive techniques have little tested in the flood condition, though they promised efficiency and accuracy. Throughout the field observations, we evaluated the validity of these techniques by comparing discharge and velocity measurements acquired concurrently during the flood in a mountain stream. As a result, the flood discharge measurements between electromagnetic wave and surface image processing techniques showed high positive relationship, but velocities did not matched very well particularly for the high current speed more 3 m/s. Therefore, it should be noted here that special cares are required when the velocity measurements by those two different techniques are used, for instance, for the validation of the numerical models. In addition, authors assured that, for the more accurate flood discharge measurements, velocity observation as well as stage height is strongly necessary owing that the unsteady flow occurs during the flood.

Recently, a variety of GIS-based tools enabling to generate topographic parameters for hydrologic and hydraulic researches have been developed. However, most of GIS-based tools are usually insufficient to estimate and visualize river channel slopes especially along the river network, which can be possibly utilized for many hydraulic equations such as Manning's formula. Many existing GIS-based tools have simply averaged cell-based slopes for the other advanced level of hydrologic units as likely as the mean watershed slope, thus that the river channel slope from the simple approach resulted in the inaccurate channel slope particularly for the mountain region where the slope varies significantly along the downstream direction. The paper aims to provide several more advanced GIS-based methodologies to assess the river channel slopes along the given river network. The developed algorithms were integrated with a newly developed tool named RiverSlope, which adapted theoretical formulas of river hydraulics to calculate channel slopes. For the study area, Han stream in the Jeju island was selected, where the channel slopes have a tendency to rapidly change the upstream near the Halla mountain and sustain the mild slope adjacent to watershed outlet heading for the ocean. The paper compared the simple slope method from the Arc Hydro, with other more complicated methods. The results are discussed to decide better approaches based on the given conditions.

Different from the main land of South Korea, Jeju Island has been in difficulties for measuring discharge. Due to high infiltration rate, most of streams in Jeju Island are usually in the dried state except six streams with the steady base flow, and the unique geological characteristics such as steep slope and short traveling distance of runoff have forced rainfall runoff usually to occur during very short period of time like one or two days. While discharge observations in Jeju Island have been conducted only for 16 sites with fixed electromagnetic surface velocimetry, effective analysis and validation of observed discharge data and operation of the monitoring sites still have been limited due to very few professions to maintain such jobs. This research is sponsored by Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs to build water cycle monitoring and management system of Jeju Island. Specifically, the research focuses on optimizing discharge measurement techniques adjusted for Jeju Island, expanding the monitoring sites, and validating the existing discharge data. First of all, we attempted to conduct discharge measurements in streams with steady base flow, by utilizing various recent discharge monitoring techniques, such as ADCP, LSPIV, Magnetic Velocimetry, and Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry. ADCP has been known to be the most accurate in terms of discharge measurement compared with other techniques, thus that the discharge measurement taken by ADCP could be used as a benchmark data for validation of others. However, there are still concerns of using ADCP in flood seasons; thereby LSPIV would be able to be applied for replacing ADCP in such flooded situation in the stream. In addition, sort of practical approaches such as Magnetic Velocimetry, and Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry would also be validated, which usually measure velocity in the designated parts of stream and assume the measured velocity to be representative for whole cross-section or profile at any specified location. The result of the comparison and analysis will be used for correcting existing discharge measurement by Electromagnetic Wave Surface Velocimetry and finding the most optimized discharge techniques in the future.
