To share knowledge and establish Joint Research Framework for future collaboration among Japan, Taiwan, and other Countries on Geotechnical Natural Hazards

Theme
1. State of the art on evaluation and mitigation of earthquake and heavy rainfall induced damage.
2. Risk management and advance monitoring technology on large landslide and debris flow.
3. Development of design codes and specifications on geotechnical seismic and extreme weather design.
4. Advance in numerical modeling and experimental work in geotechnical structures.
5. Case studies of performance analysis of geotechnical structures during natural hazards

Venue
International Conference Room,
National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Pingtung, Taiwan
NPUST, located on a hillside in northeastern Neipu Township in Pingtung, occupies 285 hectares adjacent to Da-Wu Mountain and Dong-Gang Creek with the largest and most beautiful campus in the nation. The arrangement and construction of each campus building was based upon the topography of the campus landscape. NPUST has enjoyed the reputation of being a “National Park University.” The campus is impressively gorgeous like a natural park possessing countryside characteristics with extensive fields of view, picturesque scenery, and peaceful atmosphere.

Pre-Conference Program:Day 1 and 2 (9/20-21, 2016)

Field Trip: Mitigation Work on Large Scale Landslide in Centre Taiwan

Day 1 (Sept. 20 2016)
Taichung city and Nantou county have suffered dramatically natural hazards including typhoons, earthquakes, and debris flows since 1986. Slope, highway, and hydraulic power facilities located in Centre Taiwan had abundant histories of geotechnical hazards and mitigation works.
Day one field trip starts at Hotel National, Taichung. Following a short drive, we will visit Chingshan hydraulic power plant which had suffered from major events including Chi-Chi earthquake and typhoons. On the way to Lishan, there will be an opportunity on No.8 Highway to view the several large rockfall and debris flow sites. SWCB have conducted mitigation work and monitoring in Lishan area for a decade, there will be an introduction and discussion to the topic and a tour examines the drain tunnel and monitoring measures. Overnight stays at the hotel of Chingjing with evening meal together.
Taichung city and Nantou county have suffered dramatically natural hazards including typhoons, earthquakes, and debris flows since 1986.  Slope, highway, and hydraulic power facilities located in Centre Taiwan had abundant histories of geotechnical hazards and mitigation works. The field trip will visit several large slope failure sites and hydraulic power station facilities that had suffered from major events including Chi-Chi earthquake and typhoons. Beside, a short hiking and the highway erosion site visiting in Hehuan mountain area, elevation 3000 m, is also planned in the morning of second day. 

Day 2 (Sept. 21 2016)
A short hiking in Hehuan mountain area will be commencing in the morning and experience the spectacular landscape of Taiwan Central Ranges in elevation 3000 m. Here, we will discuss the causes and effects of the mountain highway erosion. The afternoon finds us examining Chiu-fen-erh-shan National Earthquake Memorial Park, where is a large earthquake induced dip slope landslide in Chi-Chi Earthquake. The excursion ends at the Kaohsiung Chateau de Chine Hotel about 18:00.
