Sustainable Infrastructure impacts our well-being and day-to-day lives. The
infrastructures we are building today will shape our lives tomorrow. The complex
and diverse nature of the impacts due to weather extremes on transportation and
civil infrastructures can be seen in our roadways, bridges, and buildings. Extreme
summer temperatures, droughts, flash floods, and rising numbers of freeze-thaw
cycles pose challenges for civil infrastructure and can endanger public safety. We
constantly hear how civil infrastructures need constant attention, preservation, and
upgrading. Such improvements and developments would obviously benefit from
ourdesired bookseries thatprovidesustainable engineering materials anddesigns.
The economic impact is huge and much research has been conducted worldwide.
The future holds many opportunities, not only for researchers in a given country,
but also for the worldwide field engineers who apply and implement these
technologies. We believe that no approach can succeed if it does not unite the
efforts of various engineering disciplines from all over the world under one
umbrellatoofferabeaconofmodernsolutionstotheglobalinfrastructure.Experts
from the various engineering disciplines around the globe will participate in this
series, including: Geotechnical, Geological, Geoscience, Petroleum, Structural,
Transportation, Bridge, Infrastructure, Energy, Architectural, Chemical and
Materials, and other related Engineering disciplines.

Abstract. This paper discusses results of a long-term onsite monitoring on
ground subsidence and soil compressibility at the intersection of Expressway
(Expwy)78andtheHigh-SpeedRailofTaiwan(THSR).Theintersectionarea
islocatedontheChuosweiRiverAlluvialFan-Delta(CRAFD),thelargestand
thickest alluvial deposit to the mid-west of the island. The CRAFD has been
subjected to serious subsiding problems for decades because of excess extrac-
tionsofgroundwaterforagriculturalandindustrialusages.Theconstructionsof
Expwy78andTHSRinthelate1990simposedadditionalloadingsonthesoft
groundandacceleratedthesubsidenceproblem,whichwasbecomingathreatto
thesafetyofTHSR.An8-yearonsitemonitoringprogramattheintersectionwas
conducted between 10/2003 and 12/2011. The subsidence and compression of
soils were measured through multi-leveled magnetic rings installed in the
ground along boreholes of 300-m deep, as well as a GPS station and several
level-surveying benchmarks. Results indicate the ground subsidence in the
intersection area was 55.7 cm for the entire deposit in the 8-year monitoring
periodwithouttheloadingsofExpwy78andTHSR.TheloadingsofExpwy78
embankment and THSR piers/viaducts would contribute additional subsidence
of9.4cmand5.5cm,respectively,tothegroundinthesameperiod.Thetotal
subsidenceinthe8-yearperiodwas70.6cm,withanaveragerateof8.6cm/yr.
Further analysis of the compression in soils with depth <300m indicated that
the shallower deposit (depth <70m; Aquifer F1 and Aquitard T1) was least
compressible, with a strain rate of <0.01%/yr; while the deeper deposit (depth
220–300m; Aquifers F3, F4 and Aquitards T3, T4) was most compressible,
with a strain rate of 0.03–0.05%/yr. Higher compressive rates in deeper soils
suggest the extraction of groundwaters hasgone deeperin recent decades.
