Welcome Message
The International Geosynthetics Society-Thailand Chapter (IGS-Thailand), the Asian
Center of Soil Improvement and Geosynthetics (ACSIG) at AIT and the Suranaree
University of Technology (SUT) under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics
Society (IGS), jointly organized the Fifth Asian Regional Conference on Geosynthetics
of Geosynthetics Asia 2012 (GA2012) with the theme of “Geosynthetics for Sustainable
Adaptation to Climate Change” on 13 to 15 December 2012 at the Centara Grand at
Central Plaza Ladprao, Bangkok, Thailand.
The aim of GA2012 is to bring together geosynthetics researchers, consultants,
owners, manufacturers, distributors, project regulators, contractors, and academics in
order to share their knowledge, update information, advance technologies, and discuss
recent developments on the following general topics:
(1) PVDs and Drainage (4) Natural Fibers and Innovation
(2) Erosion Control (5) Reinforcement
(3) Barrier and Environmental (6) Case Histories
The GA2012 has been honored and benefited to have 6 Keynote Lectures and 6
Theme Lectures delivered by well-known geotechnical experts and world class
academics. The conference proceedings contains 129 papers contributed by authors from
25 countries including 6 Keynote Lectures, 6 Theme Lectures, 2 Country Reports, 107
Technical Papers and 8 Student Papers. All abstracts and full papers have been peer-
reviewed prior to their acceptance and inclusion in the proceedings. We wish to
acknowledge the assistance of the members of the Technical Committee in reviewing and
maintaining high standards on the quality of the papers.
Utmost appreciations are given to the members of the Conference Local and
International Committee for their unfailing support. We also acknowledged the
Conference Sponsors and Exhibitors for their financial supports as well as heart fully

Introduction
The International Geosynthetics Soceity - Thailand Chapter (IGS-Thailand), Asian
Center for Soil Improvement and Geosynthetics (ACSIG), and Suranaree University of
Technology (SUT), under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS),
jointly organizes the Fifth Asian Regional Conference on Geosynthetics or GeoAsia 2012
(GA2012), to be held from 13 to 16 December 2012 at Centara Grand at Central Plaza
Ladprao Bangkok, Thailand. The theme of the GA2012 conference is “ Geosynthetics for
Sustainable Adaptation to Climate Change”.
The effect of climate change including global warming is not only limited in causing
landslide disasters but also in increasing the frequency of occurrence of a variety of
natural disasters. The intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) reported that
residences of many more millions of people are projected to be flooded every year
through the 2080s because of rising sea level. Among at risk are low-lying and densely
populated areas. Moreover, recent news items have identified that insurance companies
are blaming bad weather slashing down their profit forecasts by millions of dollars.
Consequently, these insurance companies have been forced to raise the insurance
premium to recoup their losses. The recent devastating floods in Thailand are a concrete
example of climate change consequences.
