ABSTRACT

Considering that 68% of the reservoirs in Korea (11,970 out of 17,505 reservoirs) were built in the 1960s or earlier, their potential failure due to aging become a serious concern. Most of the decrepit reservoirs did not follow an appropriate design or construction reference at the time of construction and it is difficult to understand the characteristics of the construction materials, which makes it difficult to ensure safety of the reservoirs during the rainy season. Besides, the large amount of their water storage may cause a serious flood disaster. This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the distribution and management of the reservoirs as well as the field survey results of the reservoir collapses. The results of the investigation were used as a basis for discovering problems and suggesting ways to improve the current safety management system of the decrepit reservoirs in Korea.
