부유쓰레기 해양유입 차단막 실해역 성능시험

Abstract

It has been widely witnessed that Korean coastline is congested with debris or litters of various forms and causes. Great portion of these coastal wastes is believed to have come ashore from land-based human activities through rivers. Furthermore, a recent survey on the seabed litters around an coastal area of shallow waters revealed that the extremely many parts are attributed to the land-caused one. In order to prevent the floating debris from entering the coastal region through rivers or channels, we have been developing a floating debris containment boom on a fiver-year basis. In the third phase development, site experiments were carried out at the appropriate area near Wepo-Hang of Kangwha-Do. The experiments were focused on a trial installation of the hitherto developed form of floating debris containment boom and measurement of boom tension force by fast currents to investigate the applicability of the present method of design parameters. In this paper, the detailed backgrounds and procedures of the site experiments are summarized and discussed with future considerations.
