Description :
Lack of studies on sand-controlling system along the Taklimakan Desert Highway brought deficiencies on design and construction. And with the lapse of time, troubles such as sand deposition on the roadbeds and erosion on roadsides came to surface and caused more serious problems for the traffic routes. This paper discusses 2 forms of the sand-controlling system : the upright fence and the semi-covered sand barrier. Then, it analyzes the general benefits of the sand-controlling system along the Desert Highway.
