摘要
台灣最早興建之堆填壩可溯至有正式歷史記載之虎頭埤土壩改築(1841年),當時以人力與獸力完成施工。到日本時期,蒸汽動力機具,如:蒸汽機車、動力剷及滾壓機等加入施工行列,但同時仍採用相當數量之人力與獸力。台灣光復後,堆填壩施工與世界接軌,大量採用現代化重型施工機具,完成許多現代堆填壩之建設。
為提升施工效率與品質, 這些年來已有研究在振動鋼輪滾壓機加設夯實計(compaction meter),並搭配衛星定位系統,以全面掌握填築區各點位之夯實程度,並已逐漸應用中。此外,施工碳排放問題為近年來重視課題,為減少碳排放,施工機具應精進其性能與效率。未來台灣興建堆填壩,應考量這些相關先進設備的引入與應用,促使工程之經濟性與品質更為提高,同時更為友善環境。
英文摘要
The earliest embankment dam in Taiwan can be traced back to the Hu-Tou-Pi earth dam, which was completed by labour and animal power in 1841. From 1896 to 1945, steam-powered equipment such as steam locomotives, power shovels and rolling machines were used during embankment dam construction. Since 1945, modern machine techniques have been applied to embankment dam construction, and many kinds of modern construction equipment have been adopted.
In order to enhance the efficiency and quality of embankment dam construction, a compaction-meter was developed with a satellite positioning system in the 1980's. This kind of meter has been installed to the steel drums of vibration rollers to check the compaction degree of embankments, and has been gradually applied in embankment construction. In addition, the issues of carbon emission reduction have been emphasized during construction. Construction equipments should also provide sophisticated performance and efficiency. In the future, the application of these advanced equipment and issues of carbon emission reduction should be considered in Taiwan to promote the economy and improve the quality of dam construction, while also protecting the environment.
