Abstract

This study is an experimental study about a facility for preventing the accumulation of floating debris at a bridge by flooding at a small river. Generally, structures installed at a small river are damaged frequently by floating debris during typhoons or localized rainfall events. On the other hand, there is no method available for preventing such damage. The facilities used in other countries to prevent such damage by the accumulation of floating debris include debris fins, deflectors, and sweeper. Among these facilities, the present study was conducted with a sweeper to investigate the damage-reducing capability through a real-scale accumulation experiment. A sweeper was installed in front of a bridge to bypass floating debris by self-rotation so that the floating debris may not be accumulate at the bridge. A small bridge model was prepared in a real-scale for the real-scale experiment. The accumulation reducing capability was compared through an accumulation experiment before and after the sweeper installation depending on the length of the debris and flow conditions. The result showed that the accumulation rate increased with increasing length of the debris or decreasing flow rate. The installation of a sweeper decreased the debris accumulation rate by a minimum of 55% to a maximum of 88% compared to the case without an installed sweeper. The result of the present study showed that the installation of a sweeper at a small river having a high potential of generating floating debris may help secure the stability of a bridge in the case of floating debris accumulation.

본 연구는 소하천을 대상으로 홍수로 인한 교량에서의 유송잡물 집적을 방지하기 위한 저감시설에 대한 실험연구이다. 일반적으로 소하천은 태풍 및 집중호우 시 유송잡물에 의한 구조물 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으나 이러한 피해에 대한 저감대책은 전무한 실정이다. 국외에서는 유송잡물로 집적으로 인한 피해저감시설로 수직분리대방식, 말뚝시설방식, 스위퍼 방식에 대해 소개하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유송잡물 저감시설 중 스위퍼를 대상으로 실규모 집적실험을 통해 저감능력을 검토하고자 하였다. 스위퍼는 교각전면부에 설치하여 자력회전을 통해 유송잡물을 우회시켜 교각에 유송잡물이 집적되지 않게 만드는 시설이다. 실규모 실험을 위해 소교량 모형을 실물크기로 제작하였으며, 유송잡물 길이와 흐름조건에 따라 스위퍼 설치 전 후 집적실험을 통해 저감능력을 검토하였다. 실험결과 유송잡물의 길이가 길어지거나 유속이 적을 경우 집적률이 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 스위퍼 설치에서 따른 유송잡물의 집적률은 스위퍼 설치 전에 비해 최소 55%에서 최대 88%의 유송잡물 집적률이 저감되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로 판단할 때 유송잡물 잠재능력이 높은 소하천에 스위퍼를 설치할 경우 유송잡물 집적으로 인한 교량의 안정성 확보 측면에서 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
