Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior and to study the safety evaluation of the Unmun Dam located in Cheongdo-Gun of GyeongBuk Province, Korea. For this purpose, soil analyses including boring data, geophysical surveys were conducted. In this paper, especially many geophysical methods were adopted to configure out the subsurface situation of dam. Applied geophysical methods were: 1) electric resistivity survey, 2) high frequency magnetotelluric (HFMT) survey, 3) ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey, 4) seismic refraction survey, 5) seismic cross-hole tomography survey, and 6) high frequency impedance (ZHF) survey. Each of geophysical surveys were analyzed and joint analyses between geophysical surveys were also performed to deduce the more reliable subsurface information of Dam by using the features and characteristics of each geophysical survey. Since many defects, such as gravel and weathered rock blocks in the dam core, and lots of amounts of leakage, by boring analyses were found, reinforcement by compaction grouting system (CGS) has been conducted in some range of dam. Some geophysical data and data of geotechnical gauges were also used to confirm the effects of reinforcement. Electric resistivity, EM, GPR, ZHF, seismic refraction and seismic tomography surveys show that left side of dam is weak, which means the possibility of existence of gravel, rock block, water and cavities in the core of dam. This result coincides with the boring data. Especially, electric survey after reinforcement shows that even the right side of the dam has been deformed by the strong pressure during the reinforcement itself. As a conclusion, some problems in the dam found. Especially, the dam near spillway shows the high possibility of leakage. It should be pointed out that only the left side of he dam has not a leakage problem. As a whole, the dam has problems of weakness, because of unsatisfactory construction. It is strongly recommended that highly intensive monitoring is required.

필댐의 안정성 해석에 있어서 누수와 내부침식은 매우 중요한 평가의 한 부분이다 연구대상 지역의 필댐은 내부침식으로 추정되는 댐 상부의 공동발생 및 과대 누수량으로 문제가 발생하여, CGS(compaction grouting system)으로 보강공사를 수행하였으며, 본 보강방법은 주입재료 및 주입압력이 중요한 변수로 작용을 한다. 본 연구에서는 CGS 보강이 필댐의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 CGS보강 전후에 지구물리탐사를 수행하여 해석하였다. 본 조사에 적용된 방법에는 전기비저항탐사, 탄성파 굴절법탐사, GPR탐사, HFMT탐사 등이 적용되었다. 조사결과 CGS 보강으로 댐의 전제척인 거동에 많은 영향을 준 것으로 나타났으며, 주입압력이 과대하여 댐 중심코아에 많은 변위가 발생된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
