| dc.description.abstract | The preservation and utilization of slopeland resources in Taiwan has become an important issue because of the expending population and the need for recreational or inhabited area. The Ministry of the Interior enacted and promulgated the “Slopeland utilization regulations” on July 7th, 1983 under the supervision of article 97-1 in Building code. In the regulations the criteria for utilization of slopeland had been defined with the Construction technical regulations. With the dip slope failure in Si-jhih on Aug. 18, 1997 drawing the attention for the stability and preservation of slope, the special act for slopeland construction had been legislated as chapter 13 of construction and design section of the Construction technical regulations on Jan.1st, 1998. Although the special act had been revised for six times, some terms and definitions are still improperly stated.
The properly and strictly definition in regulations affects the general public consideration for geotechnical technician executions and the results of trial fairs. In this article, the terms of definition of “average slope”, “dip slope”, “free end”, “Rock quality designation”, “active fault”, “engineering consolidation”, and “ depth of effective stress” that exist in the No.261 of special act chapter 13 had been investigated from the viewpoint of geotechnics. The additional suggestion for withdraw spacing of buildings in No. 262 and No.264 is also proposed. | en_US |
