Abstract |
This study aims to develop an integrated evaluation model for systematically assessing the aging status of levee facilities and to validate its effectiveness by applying it to a hypothetical levee. The aging assessment of levees is broadly categorized into structural aging assessment and institutional aging assessment. The structural assessment includes factors such as overtopping stability, slope stability, and seepage stability. The institutional assessment focuses on activity state assessment and seepage state assessment, based on safety inspection grades and performance evaluation grades. In this study, equal weights (50%) were assigned to each evaluation category, and the structural aging assessment score and institutional aging assessment score were integrated to derive a comprehensive aging score. By combining structural and institutional aging assessments, this study presents a methodology that allows for a more accurate understanding of the overall aging status of levee facilities. Additionally, future research is suggested to improve the weighting methods for each evaluation category and to validate the model using various real-world cases. It is expected that this will enhance the stability and sustainability of levees and contribute to the establishment of effective maintenance strategies.
