This study investigates a construction-induced sea level rise and tide characteristics change, using a regression analysis to separate the local construction effect such as sea-dike/seawalls and global warming from total sea level change. The study also makes it clear why and how the extreme high water level has risen just after constructions at Mokpo harbor in Korea. As a result of the regression analysis, it is found that the high water level rise for the period of 1960-2006 is similar to 60cm, which is summation of four components: similar to 23cm for Youngsan River sea-dike (1981), similar to 15cm for Youngam seawall (1991), similar to 8 cm for Geumho seawall (1994), and similar to 14 cm for gradual rise (due mainly to global warming). Then, a numerical simulation at Mokpo coastal zone is performed to identify each component, and the results support the premise that the tidal amplification caused by constructions is due mainly to the extinguishment of the tidal choking effect at outer Mokpogu. The tidal flat effect makes the amplification greater at spring tide or extraordinary high tide, which would result in the increase of inundation risk at the Mokpo coastal zone. Frequency distribution of observed high water level data shows increasing trend for both maximum value of astronomical tide component (simulated high water level) and meteorological tide component (surge height) after the coastal constructions. A frequency analysis presents that the high water level for 50 year return period. which is often used for design in practice, is 474cm before the construction, and while that is 553cm after the construction. Furthermore, design height might steadily be elevated considering future global sea level rise. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
