The Tachia River and the Shih-Kang Dam

Professor Shao-hua Marko HSU at Feng Shia University took us to Shih-Kang Dam at the Tachia River.





An huge earthquake attacked this dam in 1999, and after that, they are suffering from very rapid bed degradation. It looked like more than 30m degradation downstream of the dam.



Bridges downstream looked very dangerous because of the erosion. They installed huge concrete blocks but it looked like not affective.



We had a meeting at Hydraulic Experiment and Research Center.





I did an brief introduction of iRIC and they asked a lot of questions.
