Abstract

It is not possible to provide resonable evidence for embankment (or dam) overtopping in geotechnical engineering, and conventional analysis by hydrologic design has not provided the evidence for the overflow. However, hydrologic design analysis using Copula function demonstrates the possibility that dam overflow occurs when estimating rainfall probability with rainfall data for 40 years based on fluctuating water level of a dam. Hydrologic dam risk analysis depends on complex hydrologic analyses in that probabilistic relationship needs to be established to quantify various uncertainties associated with modeling process and inputs. The systematic approaches to uncertainty analysis for hydrologic risk analysis have not been addressed yet. In this paper, the initial level of a dam for stability of a dam is generally determined by normal pool level or limiting the level of the flood, but overflow of probability and instability of a dam depend on the sensitivity analysis of the initial level of a dam. In order to estimate the initial level, Copula function and HEC-5 rainfall-runoff model are used to estimate posterior distributions of the model parameters. For geotechnical engineering, slope stability analysis was performed to investigate the difference between rapid drawdown and overtopping of a dam. As a result, the slope instability in overtopping of a dam was more dangerous than that of rapid drawdown condition.

지반공학적으로 제방(또는 댐) 월류에 대한 근거를 제시하기 어렵다. 수문학적인 안정성 평가에서 댐의 초기수위(만수위)를 고정시키고 강우량을 계산하기 때문에 월류 가능성은 매우 희박하다. 그러나 Copula 함수를 사용하여 초기수위가 고정된 댐의 만수위가 아닌 변동성 있는 확률수위를 적용해서 국내 40년간의 빈도를 고려할 때, 월류 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 수문학적 댐의 위험성 분석은 다양한 불확실성 인자 중 댐 초기수위에 대한 모의기법 개발이 필요한 복잡한 수문학적 해석을 요구한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 댐 위험도 분석 시 초기수위는 상시만수위 또는 홍수기 제한수위로 가정하지만, 이러한 보수적인 가정에 의한 연구는 기상변동성 및 기후변화의 영향을 고려하지 못하며, 댐의 월류확률 및 이에 따른 붕괴확률을 추정하는데 있어서 지반공학적인 접근이 필요하다. Copula 함수를 이용하여 댐 특성에 맞는 초기수위를 결정하였으며, HEC-5 모형을 활용하여 강우-유출 모형 매개변수의 사후분포를 정량적으로 추정하여 댐 월류확률을 산정하였다. 지반공학적인 측면에서 댐 안정성 해석은 상류사면(upstream)의 수위급강하(drawdown)에 대한 안전율과 하류사면(downstream) 월류상태에서의 불안정성을 비교하여 지반공학적 위험도를 비교･분석하였다.
