Abstract

Recently frequent collapse of old fill dams has taken place, which increases social awareness in the safety of the infrastructure. Fill dams in Korea has been incautiously regarded as safe once the fill dam is considered to have a full capacity to retain a conservative design flood determined by government authorities. However, developed foreign countries has been managing their fill dams by introducing systematic risk assessment techniques over a long period of time. In this study, the system response probabilities of the deteriorated old fill dams in Korea were systematically evaluated and analyzed by using the internal erosion toolbox based on the event tree analysis technique. The probability of the existence of flaw and the magnitude of the hydraulic gradient through a potential crack can significantly influence the geotechnical system response probability. The results of this study show that the probability of the existence of flaw and the magnitude of the hydraulic gradient through a potential crack can significantly influence the geotechnical system response probability and the risk of the deteriorated fill dam can be quantitatively assessed.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 노후 필댐의 붕괴 사고로 인해 안전관리에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 지금까지 국내에서는 설계 당시 보수적인 설계기준에 근거한 설계 홍수량을 기준으로 필댐의 안정성을 단순하게 평가하고 있다. 하지만 해외 주요 국가에서는 사건수 분석 기법과 같은 체계적인 위험도 평가 기법을 도입하여 이미 오랜 기간 동안 필댐을 관리 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노후화된 국내 필댐의 체계적인 위험도 분석을 위해 사건수 분석 기법을 이용한 미공병단 내부 침식 평가 기법을 적용하여 필댐의 내부 침식에 대한 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률을 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률이 결함의 존재 확률과 동수경사의 크기에 가장 큰 영향을 받으며 노후된 필댐의 위험도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있음을 보여준다.
