The International Symposium on Sustainable Geosynthetics and Green Technology for Climate Change (SGCC) was successfully held at Viphavadee Ballroom C, Centara Grand Hotel Ladprao, Bangkok, Thailand last 20 to 21 June 2012. SGCC also served as the Retirement Symposium of Prof. Dennes T. Bergado – the SGCC Organizing Chairman, Professor of Geotechnical and Earth Resources Engineering (GTE) at the School of Engineering and Technology (SET) of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), President of International Geosynthetics Society – Thailand Chapter (IGS-Thailand), Director of Asian Center for Soil Improvement and Geosynthetics (ACSIG), and Secretary General of the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS). The Symposium was hosted by ACSIG and IGS-Thailand and co-organized by Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) and SEAGS under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS).
The Symposium covered topics on geotechnical and geosynthetics engineering for mitigations, applications, and adaptations to changing environments due to climate change and global warming. The wide range of topics included Road Pavements, Railways, and Transport Applications; Flood Control, Reservoirs, and Hydraulic Applications; Mining and Waste Containment and Environmental Protection; Ground Improvement and Remediation, and Case Studies; Reinforced Slopes/Walls and Geohazard Mitigations; Geo-Containers and Geotubes; Behavior of Unsaturated Soils and Rain-Triggered Landslides; Earthquake Engineering and Geophysics; Foundation Engineering and Retaining Walls; Laboratory, Field Tests, and Durability of Geosynthetics; Sustainable Limited Life Geosynthetics (LLGs); Sustainable Geosynthetics Engineering and Applications; Prefabricated Vertical Drains with Vacuum Preloading; Deep Excavation; Deep Cement Mixing and Bio-Cement Stabilization; and, Geo- Disasters due to Tsunami.
