Slope Safety and Us To stress the importance of the close relationship between earth science and man
Focus of study: • Where are the dangerous slopes of our school? • When did landslide occur? • Why did slopes collapse? • How did landslide affect us? • What are the measures taken to prevent landslides?
Ways of teaching: • Site visit • Map work and worksheet • Searching info on the internet • Weather map interpretation • Video show
Where are the dangerous slopes of our school? • Background information: • Our school site • http://my.wyk.edu.hk/ • Field work • A map for locating the dangerous slope
When did landslide occur? May 2 1989
What are the causes of landslide? • Video show: Landslides in HK by Civil Engineering Dept • Weather Map
How did landslide affect us? • Safety of students • Safety of school buildings • Traffic • Bus stop and sidewalk
Man’s response to landslides: Short-term measures Long-term maintenance
Short-term response Clearance of mud Plastic cover and temporary barrier Removal of bus stop
Long-term measures Slope stabilization project When? Duration? How? Methods? Why are these methods adopted? How much? How did the slope repair work affect WYK boys?
Limitations? Co-ordination among ED, CED and Building Dept Ownership – school vs. crown land Environmental protection vs economic consideration -costly retaining wall -much of the trees were removed
