4 CONCLUSIONS
Because of the global climate change, natural disasters caused
by the extreme weather become more frequently in last few
years. The magnitude of these disasters and the damage caused
by these disasters become greater and greater and are greater
than what we experienced in the past. Therefore, in future
engineering projects, engineers should consider uncertainties
caused by the extreme weather in their designs and understand
limitations of engineering techniques. In addition, engineers
should try to avoid unnecessary development and construction
in environmental sensitive area.
