DETAILED DESCRIPTION

However, most river slopes do not have any measures preventing soil loss in the event of a major flood, so the river slopes easily collapse during a rainy season, resulting in large-scale casualties and property loss.
Meanwhile, various wastes thrown on a sidewalk flow into a river together with rainwater, and the river is polluted.
Furthermore, wave dissipating blocks are used to prevent the soil loss and are installed on a part of a breakwater or a shoreline which receives large waves to disperse or dissipate wave energy and to reduce reflected waves, and mainly refer to concrete blocks.
As a conventional wave dissipating block, a tetrapod having the shape of four horns has been used the most, and a dolos and a sealock made by modifying the tetrapod are also frequently used recently. Particularly, the tetrapod is installed on the slope of a breakwater to form a single layer or double layers, or during the construction of a submerged structure such as a submerged breakwater, multiple tetrapods are densely collected to form one structure. In the breakwater or the bottom of a river in which tetrapods are piled on each other, wave energy is dispersed and dissipated due to a gap between the tetrapods adjacent to each other, the rugged shape of each of the tetrapods, and the interlocking thereof.
Each of the wave dissipating blocks is required to have sufficient stability against wave force, sufficient structural strength against external force or weight thereof, to be easily lifted and constructed, and to have adequate porosity when the wave dissipating blocks are piled on each other such that wave energy can be reduced.
Meanwhile, the installation method of the wave dissipating blocks includes a two-layer covering type and random piling type, wherein the two-layer covering type includes an upright covering type and an inclined covering type, and the random piling type include an upright shear surface covering type and an inclined shear surface covering type.
In the random piling type, it is easy to embody porosity between wave dissipating blocks and it is simple to install the wave dissipating blocks to have an excellent constructability, but huge concrete structures are seen to be piled on each other in disorder to the general public, causing an unsightly scene.
On the other hand, in the two-layer covering type, wave dissipating blocks are arranged in an orderly manner and do not significantly impair a surrounding aesthetic despite the arrangement of the wave dissipating blocks which are huge concrete structures, but are difficult to be constructed since whenever installing each of the wave dissipating blocks which weighs dozens of tons, the position and direction (an angle) thereof are required to be adjusted.
Furthermore, irrespective of the shape of a wave dissipating block, the structure of conventional wave dissipating blocks is installed only in such a manner that the wave dissipating blocks are piled on each other up to the top of the slope of a seafloor along the slope thereof from the seafloor, so it is very difficult to initially align the wave dissipating blocks. That is, in order to align the wave dissipating blocks on the seafloor, many workers are required to descend to the seafloor to align and install the wave dissipating blocks in place. This is a difficult work since the work relies on the skills of the workers on the seafloor on which visibility is not secured, and the risk of accidents on the seafloor is very high.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings such that those skilled in the art can easily embody the present disclosure. However, since the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely embodiments for structural or functional description, the scope of the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a structure to prevent soil loss in the slopes of a river and a coast according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 are perspective views of the structure according to other embodiments of the present disclosure; FIGS. 5A, 5B, 6A, and 6B are views specifically illustrating the dimension of each part of the structure; FIGS. 7A, 7B, 8A, and 8B are views illustrating an example of the structure pulled via a pulling protrusion part; and FIGS. 9A, 9B, 10A, and 10B are views illustrating another example of the structure pulled via the pulling protrusion part
As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 10A, and 10B, structures 100 to prevent soil loss, each of the structures including a body part 110 made of concrete, a plurality of first leg parts 120 connected to a first end of the body part 110 and arranged on a first plane by extending therefrom in longitudinal directions of the first leg parts 120, and a plurality of second leg parts 130 connected to a second end of the body part 110 and arranged on a second plane perpendicular to the first plane by extending therefrom in longitudinal directions of the second leg parts 130, may include a first reinforcement part 140, a second reinforcement part 150, and a flowing water induction part 160. Furthermore, each of the plurality of first leg parts 120 and second leg parts 130 may extend to have an angle preset in a longitudinal direction thereof.
The first reinforcement part 140 is provided by protruding outward in such a manner that a wedge-shaped block surrounds the connection part of the body part 110 to which each of the first leg parts 120 and each of the second leg parts 130 are connected.
The first reinforcement part 140 may be configured as a closed or semi-closed type.
The second reinforcement part 150 may be provided on a portion of the first leg part 120 and may protrude to the outside. The second reinforcement part 150 is formed by protruding from the first leg part 120 such that four wedge-shaped blocks having “L” shapes are provided to be symmetrical to each other up, down, left, and right to have a cross shape relative to the inflection point of the front center of the first leg part 120, wherein an end of each of the wedge-shaped blocks having “L” shapes is connected to the first reinforcement part 140.
To relieve the concentration of tensile stress, the first and second reinforcement parts 140 and 150 may be represented as
w≤E×0.7 (equation 1)
h≤E×0.8 (equation 2).
(w represents a width of each of the reinforcement parts, h represents a height of each of the reinforcement parts, and E represents a diameter (a relatively small part) of the body part.)
Specifically, the structure is composed of one body part 110 and two leg parts 120 and 130 coupled to each of the opposite ends of the body part 110 to have a structure of SPAN without steel, and accordingly, the reinforcement parts 140 and 150 can increase structural strength thereof through structural reinforcement of tensile stress (compressive strength 1/9˜ 1/13) to strengthen an interlocking function between each of the structures 100. Particularly, the first reinforcement part 140 may be configured as an open/close type and a semi-open/close type.
The length of each of the leg parts 120 and 130 is L, and an angle between the axes of the leg parts 120 and 130 is α, wherein α may be 30° or more and 90° or less.
The length of each of two leg parts 120 and two leg parts 130 coupled respectively to the opposite ends of the structure 100 is 2L sin α, and may be represented as 2L sin α≥E×4 (equation 3).
Specifically, the lengths of the leg parts 120 and 130 of each of the structures 100 are determined by the equation described above and the optimal lengths of the leg parts 120 and 130 in which tensile stress can be relieved can be experimentally calculated.
Hereinbelow, actual design examples calculated by using the above equations 1, 2, and 3 are represented as follows,
Design 1

- α=65°
- ∴ L=1,710/sin 65°=1,887 Y=3420, (T=3850)
- ∴ M+1,887×2×cos 65°=3,850 ∴ M=2,255
- (2×L×sin α)/E≥4.0
- ∴ E_4.0=855

Design 2

- α=45°
- ∴ L=1,710/sin 45°=2,418 Y=3420, (T=3850)
- ∴ M+2,418×cos 45°×2=3,850 ∴ M=430
- (2×L×sin α)/E≥4.0
- ∴ E_4.0=854

The flowing water induction part 160 is provided as the shape of a channel defined by the second reinforcement part 150 such that the flow of flowing water can be induced through the channel.
The flowing water induction part 160 is configured as a cross-shaped channel by the second reinforcement part 150 relative to the inflection point of the front center of the first leg part 120 and can induce the flow of flowing water.
Specifically, the flowing water induction part 160 is a cross-shaped channel defined by the second reinforcement part 150 protruding from the first leg part 120 to have a cross shape relative to the inflection point of the first leg part 120 and is formed inside the second reinforcement part such that the flow of flowing water can be induced upward, downward, leftward, and rightward to dissipate waves and to prevent soil loss. In addition, the flowing water induction part 160 constitutes a channel of an asymmetrical cross shape such that the second reinforcement part 150 is configured as an asymmetric cross shape up and down relative to the inflection point of the first leg part 120, thereby further improving the performance of dissipating waves by directing the flow of flowing water in irregular directions.
The body part 110 and the leg parts 120 and 130 may have a circular or polygonal cross section. Specifically, each of the body part 110 and the leg part 120 or 130 may be manufactured in various polygonal shapes such as a hexagonal or octagonal shape other than a general circular shape to improve interlocking function between structures 100 and enhance stability thereof when the structures 100 are piled on each other.
Specifically, when the leg parts 120 and 130 and the body part 110 are provided to have general circular shapes or particularly, to have cross sections of various polygonal shapes such as a tetrahedron, a hexahedron, and an octahedron, hydraulic stability, that is, a stability coefficient (K_D) can be increased. Particularly, in a case in which each of multiple structures 100 has a polygonal shape rather than a cylindrical shape when piled on each other, a surface contact area between a structure 100 and an adjacent structure 100 is further increased, and the multiple structures 100 piled on each other interlock with each other to be prevented from moving. The structures 100 having polygonal shapes as described above have an increased contact area between the structures 100 interlocking with each other and can minimize movements thereof caused by wave energy due to efficient interlocking therebetween.
The structure to prevent soil loss in the slopes of a river and a coast according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include the pulling protrusion part 170.
The pulling protrusion part 170 may have a shape tapered inward in the form of a convex wedge formed on each of the lower end of the body part 110, the extension line of the axis of the body part 110, and the leg part 120 or 130.
The pulling protrusion parts 170 are configured as wedge-shaped blocks, and the upper and lower parts thereof are connected to each other to strengthen the interlocking between the structures. In addition, a pulling protrusion part 170 formed on the first leg part 120 is formed on the lower end of the first leg part by protruding therefrom such that the pulling protrusion part 170 has a straight line shape, and a pulling protrusion part 170 formed on the second leg part 130 is formed on an end of the second leg part such that the pulling protrusion part 170 has a straight line shape having a cut central part and thus a pulling rope passes through the cut part to be connected to the pulling protrusion part such that the structure 100 can be more securely pulled.
Specifically, the structure 100 of the present disclosure as a block for relieving tensile stress concentration is 1.8 times larger in structural stability than a block having tensile stress concentration and is excellent in interlocking function, thereby having a large hydraulic stability coefficient. Here, results of a structural strength analysis test refer to the Midas structural analysis program. In addition, the first reinforcement parts 140 may be configured as an open/close type and a semi-open/close type or a closed type in which the first reinforcement parts 140 are connected to each other.
Furthermore, the pulling protrusion part 170 and the first and second reinforcement parts 140 and 150 are connected to a pulling rope such that a traction force for pulling the structure can be increased. Particularly, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 10A, and 10B, a worker strengthens a force for pulling the structure by passing rope hanging on the pulling protrusion part 170 through the inside and outside of the second reinforcement part 150 such that the structure can be securely pulled.
The structure to prevent soil loss in the slopes of a river and a coast according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure may be manufactured such that each of the first reinforcement part 140 and the second reinforcement part 150 is inclined downward to have an internal cross-sectional area increasing gradually inward from the outside thereof, and may further include first protrusion jaws (not shown) formed on the first leg part 120 by protruding outward therefrom along the longitudinal direction of the first leg part 120 and being spaced apart by a predetermined distance from each other along the periphery of the first leg part 120, and second protrusion jaws (not shown) formed on the second leg part 130 by protruding outward therefrom along the longitudinal direction of the second leg part 130 and being spaced apart by a predetermined distance from each other along the periphery of the second leg part 130.
Furthermore, the first reinforcement part 140 and the first protrusion jaws are connected to each other, and the second reinforcement part 150 and the second protrusion jaws are connected to each other. The structure of the present disclosure may further include a first auxiliary jaw (not shown) provided between a first protrusion jaw and an adjacent first protrusion jaw along the periphery of the first leg part 120 such that the first auxiliary jaw is spaced apart from the first reinforcement part 140 in the longitudinal direction of the first leg part 120, and a second auxiliary jaw (not shown) provided between a second protrusion jaw and an adjacent second protrusion jaw along the periphery of the second leg part 130 such that the second auxiliary jaw is spaced apart from the second reinforcement part 150 in the longitudinal direction of the second leg part 130.
Furthermore, the first auxiliary jaw connects a first protrusion jaw with an adjacent first protrusion jaw, and the second auxiliary jaw connects a second protrusion jaw with an adjacent second protrusion jaw. Each of the first protrusion jaw and the second protrusion jaw may be manufactured to be inclined downward to have an internal cross-sectional area increasing gradually inward from the outside, and each of the first auxiliary jaw and the second auxiliary jaw may be manufactured to be inclined downward to have an internal cross-sectional area increasing gradually inward from the outside.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the installation method of a structure to prevent soil loss in the slopes of a river and a coast according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIGS. 12 and 13 are views illustrating a state in which structures are piled on each other and installed.
As illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 13, the installation method of the structure to prevent soil loss in the slopes of a river and a coast according to the present disclosure described above may include forming the pulling protrusion part at S100, moving the position of the structure at S200, arranging the structure at S300, and piling the structures at S400.
The forming of the pulling protrusion part at S100 is a step of forming at least one pulling protrusion part 170 on the preset position of the structure 100 which is composed of the body part 110 made of concrete, the leg parts 120 and 130, the reinforcement parts 140 and 150, and the flowing water induction part 160 and is configured to prevent soil loss. Hereinafter, the shapes of the reinforcement parts 140 and 150 and the calculation of the length of each of the leg parts 120 and 130 are the same as described above in the structure 100 configured to prevent soil loss. (The use of equations 1, 2, and 3)
Specifically, a worker may connect a rope to the pulling protrusion parts 170 tapered inward from the outside such that the structure 100 can be pulled to be moved to a place at which the structure 100 will be installed. Furthermore, the pulling protrusion parts 160 tapered inward may be piled on each other to be engaged with each other by being aligned up and down such that an interlocking function thereof can be strengthened.
The moving of the structure position at S200 is a step of moving the position of the structure 100 to a preset position by hanging a rope on the pulling protrusion parts 170 and pulling the structure 100 after the forming of the pulling protrusion part at S100.
The arranging of the structure at S300 is a step of arranging the structure such that the flowing water induction part 160 of the structure 100 which is being moved through the moving of the position of the structure at S200 faces the front of a river or a coast.
The piling of the structure at S400 is a step of piling the structures 100 to be installed by repeating the moving of the structure position at S200 and the arranging of the structure at S300.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the structures are installed on a coast, the structures have sufficient stability against wave forces and maintain structural strength thereof against external forces or a weight thereof, and are effective in curing and construction.
Furthermore, when the structures are piled on each other to attenuate wave energy, the structures can have suitable porosity, thereby securing workability and stability during the installation of the structures.
Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, the pulling protrusion part 170 having the shape of a convex wedge is installed on each of the lower end of the body part 110, the extension line of the axis of the body part 110, and the leg parts 120 and 130, thereby causing no damage to the strength of the structure 100 and securing safety during construction and an excellent bonding property and in the case of a structure 100 having a large weight, preventing accidents during installation and reducing manufacturing costs by shortening a construction period.
Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, strength of the structure can be increased by 1.7 to 2.3 times or more than the strength of an existing structure, and the interlocking function of the structure of the present disclosure can be improved.
FIG. 14 is a view illustrating the stress distribution of each of the structure of the present disclosure and an existing structure, and FIG. 15 is a graph illustrating crack loads due to various loads of each of the structure of the present disclosure and the existing structure.
Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, as a result of a crack load test due to various loads, Sealock VIII of Japan, which is a conventional structure, has a crack load range of about 18.11 tonf to 52.97 tonf, but the structure of the present disclosure has a crack load range of about 31.58 tonf to 108.40 tonf. Accordingly, it can be confirmed that in the crack load due to various loads, the safety factor of the structure of the present disclosure is at least 1.74 times and up to 2.05 times larger than the safety factor of the conventional structure.
