The Four Major Rivers Restoration Project (4MRRP), one of the largest riverrehabilitation projects in Korea, has being carried out during the last three years. 0.57 billion m3 ofsediment was dredged to widen and deepen the channel along four major rivers, the Han, Nakdong,Geum, and Youngsan rivers. As a result of reshaping the natural channel to a trapezoidal channel,and the construction of 16 weirs, the change of longitudinal slope of the river was inevitable. Thedistribution of bed materials was also changed, due to dredging. Therefore, the rivers were totallydisturbed, and the stability of the rivers could not be assured. In particular, the Nakdong river, thesecond largest river in Korea, has the characteristics of an alluvial channel. Degradation of the mainchannel bed caused bank erosion, and head-cut phenomena in many tributaries. Deformations of themain channels could be observed all along the river. Long-term simulation of the channel evolutionand prediction of the stability of the Nakdong river have to be examined, to cope with the instabilityof the river, which could lead to unexpected river disasters. This study deals with the methodologyof uncertainty improvement, in analysis of the simulation and confirmation with field survey data.Methodology of uncertainty improvement in description of weir, whose discharge coefficient isunknown, in a river was suggested. |
