The invention provides a method for preventing super large-scale floods and debris flows. First, the scale corresponding to certain standard floods in the watershed is evaluated based on field investigations and historical data. Second, the design standards of the system are chosen based on the prevention of super large-scale floods, and the design standard of critical control engineering is further determined. Finally, the design methods of check dams with different functional zones are proposed according to the design standards of critical control engineering. The invention allows part of the key control dam to fail under safe operating conditions of the entire system by increasing the cross-sectional areas and the flow discharges. The unbroken foundation of the dam can effectively control the channel entrainment and regulate the cross-sectional discharge. The design is helpful in mitigating giant floods and debris flows, thus protecting downstream infrastructures.

A geotextile tube includes a bag unit, an extending unit, a main stitch seam, and two auxiliary stitch seams. The bag unit includes a tubular wall and an end wall cooperatively defining a filling space. The extending unit includes two extending parts respectively extending from opposite lateral sides of the end wall and each defining a buffering space. The main stitch seam extends from one of the extending parts to the other one of the extending parts for sealing the filling space. The auxiliary stitch seams intersect the main stitch seam, and are respectively disposed at the lateral sides of the end wall such that the end wall is substantially flat. Each auxiliary stitch seam separates an adjacent buffering space from the filling space.

A method of constructing an underwater concrete block structure includes assembling a plurality of concrete blocks into a concrete block assembly, forming a drilled borehole in the underwater ground under a concrete hole of the concrete block assembly, and forming a concrete column in the concrete hole and the drilled borehole, thereby greatly increasing the stability of the underwater concrete block structure.
