| Investigator(s): | Lee CF, Law KT, Wang S.J. |
| Department: | Civil Engineering |
| Source(s) of Funding: | The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust |
| Start Date: | 10/1998 |
| Abstract: |
| To provide Hong Kong with strong technical support and a comprehensive source of information for improving slope safety and developing land in Hong Kong; to promote the professional service capacity of Hong Kong and mainland China and gain world recognition in the area of slope safety. |
| Project Title: | Effects of reservoir level fluctuations on reactivation of large-sized landslides in reservoir areas |
| Investigator(s): | Lee CF, Law KT, Yue QZQ, Tham LG, Wang S.J., Dai F.C., Deng J.H. |
| Department: | Civil Engineering |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Competitive Earmarked Research Grants (CERG) |
| Start Date: | 01/2003 |
| Completion Date: | 12/2005 |
| Abstract: |
| The project is a detailed study on a slowly creeping landslide in the Three Gorges reservoir area. The primary objective is to enhance the ability to predict the actual behaviour of a landslide based on parameters determined in the field and laboratory. Results of this landslide research can help to determine whether an old landslide is identified as being reactivated by the influence of the fluctuation of reservoir level, and whether it will be fast moving. |

| Start Date: | 01/2005 |
| Abstract: |
| To achieve significant savings in the cost of soil nail installation in the future by fully understanding the failure mechanism of a soil nailed slope and the actual load developed in the steel bars when the soil mass experiences large deformation. |
| Project Title: | Independent review of use of non-destructive testing in quality control in soil nailing works |
| Investigator(s): | Lee CF, Yeung AT, Tham LG |
| Department: | Civil Engineering |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Civil Engineering and Development Department - General Award |
| Start Date: | 06/2006 |
| Abstract: |
| To review and appraise the use of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to assess the quality of soil nailing works; to formulate a framework for application of NDT techniques for quality control of Landslip Preventive Measures (LPM) soil nailing works; to asess the suitability of Time Domain Reflectometry method and other NDT techniques for use under the framework and recommend how the techniques should be used. |
