Abstract

The river levee collapse and flood damages are dramatically increased due to the floods which caused by abnormal weather nowadays. The counterplan like TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) river levee leaking exploration technique is needed to that levee failure causes of levee failure such as levee failure by penetration, piping, inadequate levee materials selection, poor compaction are almost 52% of the failure. This research practiced various comparing experiments of existing TDR(probe and tube types) and developing CAP type TDR to evaluate acrylic small CAP mould and low-cost TDR levee leaking monitoring system which was used probe type TDR. As the result, evaluated TDR system had 20cm critical exploration performance which was a leaking exploration performance, The functional ratio of TDR exploration sensitivity of dry density was sensitive more than 3 times than dry density, and weathered granite soil foundation water contents(w)-dielectric constant(${\epsilon}$) corelation formula was suggested to measure functional ratio on developing cap type TDR system.

최근 이상기후에 따른 홍수로 인해 하천제방 붕괴 및 홍수피해가 급증하고 있다. 하천제방 관련 홍수피해는 침투에 의한 제방붕괴 및 파이핑, 부적절한 축제재료선정, 다짐불량 등 제방누수와 관련된 제방파괴요인이 52% 정도를 차지하는 것으로 나타나, 이에 대한 대책으로 저비용 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) 하천제방 누수탐사기법과 같은 대책이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 아크릴로 제작된 소형 캡슐모양의 CAP(CAPsule)형 몰드 및 기존 탐침형 TDR를 사용하는 저비용 TDR 제방누수 모니터링시스템의 성능을 평가하고자 기존 TDR(탐침형, 튜브형)과 개발 CAP형 TDR에 대한 다양한 비교실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 평가된 TDR시스템은 20cm 정도의 누수탐사능력인 임계탐사능이 존재하며, 함수비, 건조단위중량 등에 대한 TDR 탐사 민감도의 경우 건조단위중량에 비해 함수비가 3배 이상 민감한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 개발 CAP형 TDR 시스템의 경우 함수비 측정을 위한 화강풍화토 지반 함수비(w)-유전상수(${\epsilon}$) 관계식을 제시하였다.
