Abstract

The performance of the relief wells installed for the purpose of controlling seepage of the dam embankment is affected by various parameters such as diameter, spacing, penetration rate, permeability coefficient of the ground, thickness of the foundation layer. Therefore, when the relief wells are adopted for the purpose of reducing seepage pressure, these parameters should be sufficiently reviewed to determine the installation specifications of the relief wells. This study evaluated the effect of the length of the geosynthetics blanket on the performance of the relief wells installed in the downstream part of the dam embankment with blankets in the upstream and downstream part of the dam embankment as countermeasure methods to control seepage of the dam embankment. In the relationship between the length of the upstream and downstream blanket and the discharge, the discharge of the relief wells decreases as the length of the upstream blanket increases, and on the other hand, the discharge of the relief wells decreases as the length of the downstream blanket increases. In the upper and lower blanket length-spacing relationship, as the length of the upstream blanket increases, the spacing of the relief wells increases and as the length of the downstream blanket increases, the spacing of the relief wells decreases. Therefore, when installing the relief wells in parallel with the blanket, it was found that increasing the length of the upstream blanket is more efficient than increasing the length of the downstream blanket in order to minimize the discharge of seepage discharge and to ensure economic feasibility by wider installation of the relief wells.

저수지 제방의 침투제어를 목적으로 설치하는 감압정의 성능은 감압정의 직경, 간격, 관통율, 지반의 투수계수, 기초지반 지층의 두께 등 다양한 변수에 의해 영향을 받는다. 따라서 침투수압 경감을 목적으로 감압정을 채택하는 경우 이러한 매개변수를 충분히 검토하여 감압정의 설치제원을 결정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 제방의 침투제어를 위한 대책공법으로 제방의 하류부에 감압정과 제방의 상·하류부에 토목섬유 블랭킷(이하 블랭킷)을 병행하여 설치하는 경우 블랭킷의 길이가 감압정의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 상·하류 블랭킷 길이-유량 관계에서 상류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정에서 배출되는 유량은 감소하며, 하류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 배출 유량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 상·하류 블랭킷 길이-간격 관계에서 상류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 간격은 증가하며, 하류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 간격은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 블랭킷과 감압정을 병행하여 설치함으로써 댐제방의 침투안정성을 확보하고자 하는 경우 침투유량의 배출을 최소화하고 감압정의 간격 확대를 통한 경제성 확보를 위해서는 상류의 블랭킷 길이 증가가 하류의 블랭킷 길이 증가보다 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.
