PURPOSES : Recently, air pollution due to fine particulate matter has been increasing in Korea. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are particulate matter precursors significantly contributing to air pollution. Increasing efforts have been dedicated to NOx removal from air, since it is particularly harmful. Application of titanium dioxide (TiO2) for concrete road structures is a suitable alternative to remove NOx. As the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2 is the mechanism that eliminates NOx, the ultraviolet rays in sunlight and TiO2 in existing concrete structures need to be contacted for the reaction process. For the application of vertical concrete road structures such as retaining walls, side ditches, and barriers, a pressurized TiO2 fixation method has been developed considering the pressure and pressurization time. In this study, longterm serviceability and repeatability were investigated on concrete specimens applying the dynamic pressurized TiO2 fixation method. Additionally, the environmental hazards of nitrate adsorbed on TiO2 particles were evaluated. METHODS : Concrete specimens to simulate roadside vertical concrete structures were manufactured and used to evaluate the long-term serviceability and repeatability of the dynamic pressurized TiO2 fixation method. The NOx removal efficiency was measured using NOx evaluation equipment based on ISO 22197-1. In addition, the nitrate concentration was measured using a comprehensive water quality analyzer for evaluating environmental hazards. RESULTS : As the experiment to evaluate the NOx removal efficiency of the dynamic pressurized TiO2 fixation method progressed from one to seven cycles, the nitrate concentration increased from 2.35 mg/L to 3.06 mg/L, and the NOx removal efficiency decreased from 53% to 25%. After seven cycles of NOx removal efficiency evaluation, the average nitrate concentration was 3.06 mg/L. The nitrate concentration collected immediately after the NOx removal efficiency test for each cycle was in the range of 2.51 to 2.57 mg/L. By contrast, it was confirmed that the nitrate concentration was lowered to approximately 2.1 mg/L when the surface was washed with water. CONCLUSIONS : The NOx removal efficiency was maintained at over 25% even after seven cycles of NOx removal efficiency evaluation, securing long-term serviceability. In addition, the harmful effects on the environment and human health are insignificant, since the nitrate concentration was less than 10 mg/L, in accordance with domestic and foreign standards. Practical applicability of the pressurized TiO2 fixation method was established by evaluating the long-term serviceability, repeatability, and environmental hazards.

우리나라의 토석류 위험지 관리는 산림청의 산사태 위험지 관리제도와 구 소방방재청의 급경사지 관리 제도를 준용하고 있으나, 토석류 위험지를 구체적으로 관리하고 있지 못하다. 그 이유는 우리나라의 토석류 발생지의 대부분이 황폐산지의 반복되는 토석류 발생지가 아니라, 국지성 집중호우로 인해 돌발적으로 발생되는 토석류가 대부분이기 때문에 위험지 관리 대책을 수립할 수 없는 어려움이 있다. 이 연구는 지형 및 입지특성에 근거한 기준점 설정을 통해 토석류 위험구역 구획방안을 제시한 선행연구를 검토하고자 시행되었다. 2011년 7월 토석류 피해지역인 춘천시 신북읍 천전리 일원의 퇴적토사량과 토석류의 도달거리를 산정하여 위험구역을 구획하였다. 실제 피해 대상지인 2개의 유역을 연구대상지로 선정하여, 산정된 침식가능토사량(지질·계류 차수별 원단위 기준 산정법)과 운반가능토사량(총수량·용적토사농도 이용 산정법)을 현지 측량에 의해 얻어진 퇴적토사량과 비교하였다. 그 결과 침식가능토사량은 실측에 의해 얻어진 토사량과 유사한 범위에 있었고 운반가능 토사량은 과대치가 산정되었다. 토석류의 도달거리는 경험식에 지질·계류 차수별 원단위 기준 산정법으로 계산된 침식가능토사량으로 산정하였다. 경험식으로 산정된 도달거리는 수해 직후 촬영된 항공사진의 판독으로 산정한 도달거리와 비교한 결과 유사 범위에 위치하였다. 수해 직후 촬영된 항공사진을 판독하여 구획된 토석류의 퇴적범위는 구획된 토석류 위험구역 내에 위치하여 이 방법이 유효함을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this research was develop tailored landslide hazard assessment table (LHAT) in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and propose building strategies on environmental information system to estimate landslide hazard area according to LHAT. To accomplish this purpose, this research investigated factors occurring landslide at 172 landslide occurred sites in 23 city and county of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and analyzed what factors effected landslide occurrence quantity using the multiple statistics of quantification method(Ⅰ). The results of analysis, factors affecting landslide occurrence quantity were shown in order of slope position, slope length, bedrock, aspect, forest age, slope form and slope. And results of the development of LHAT for predict mapping of landslide-susceptible area in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, total score range was divided that 107 under is stable area(Ⅳ class), 107～176 is area with little susceptibility to landslide(Ⅲ class), 177～246 is area with moderate susceptibility to landslide(Ⅱ class), above 247 area with severe susceptibility to landslide(Ⅰ class). According to LHAT, this research built landslide attribute database and made 7 digital theme maps at mountainous area located in Goryeong Gun, Seongju-Gun, and Kimcheon-City. The results of prediction on degree of landslide hazard using environmental information system, area with little susceptibility to landslide(Ⅲ class) occupied 65.56% and severe susceptibility to landslide(Ⅰ class) occupied 0.51%.
