However, shocks induced by high discharge with heavy sediment can easily produce brittle fracture and peeling over a weir surthce repair layer as it is impacted by floods accompanied by particles of different sizes. In this study, transcending traditional designs, the authors developed a composite unit designed with a shock absorbing cushion that has performed well during field tests, proving that the weir body can be effectively protected even if the composite units are directly laid on a severely uneven weir surface repair layer.展开更多

In August 2009, Typhoon Morakot heavily damaged the central and southern parts of Taiwan, causing irreversible damage to the environment, especially in the mountain areas. In this study, the goal is to attain sustainable reservoir management, thus comprehensive storm water management is used to develop mitigation strategies. Overlay-map methods of GIS, along with vulnerability analysis and land use sustainability analysis, are used to map out optimal land use patterns containing development potentials, growth limits, and suitability concerns that aim to reduce the impact of human development on the ecological environment. Finally, the mitigation strategies proposed by this study for the land use of Zengwen Reservoir and its catchment will be implement shortly.展开更多
