Discussion of “Shihmen Embankment Dam in Taiwan, China”

Appraisal of dam slope safety is essential for security and stability of the dyke that has been constructed for many years. According to the requirements of the appraisal of dam safety, the stability analysis of slope of Shegang dyke has been carried out by using Sweden circular-arc method, Bishop method, Engineer Corps method and Lowe method four methods under many kinds of working conditions and some conditions when the saturation line raising. Combined with the design code form embankment dam, the calculation results can be analyzed. The analysis can show that the security indexes of anti-slide under four kinds of working conditions and some conditions when the saturation line raising meet the requirements of the design code. This can provide basis for the reinforcement design of the dam, which also has a certain directive significance for the safe operation and observation of the dam in the future.

The Ideal

Flooding is an obstacle for water infrastructure which installed in a river system in Ciliwung, West Java, Indonesia. The climate change triggers unpredictable rainfall which occurs in the watershed, therefore the vulnerability of river and other infrastructures are alarming. The rehabilitation and maintenance strategies are needed to make water infrastructures in the river system obtain lower damage. The research aims to simulate the 2-D HEC-RAS modelling of river system and stability. The result produces the water level of the river even in 1000-year discharge flood. Also, the research proposes the earth embankment dam for flood reduction in the watershed. The dam is designed according to the ideal condition. The simulation of HEC-RAS shows that the river experiences flooding in a certain condition. Besides, the research concludes that designed dam could overcome the flooding problem and suitable strategy for water infrastructure maintenance towards flooding impacts. Further investigation towards soil data for designed dam should be further analyzed to obtain better and comprehensive understanding.
