Preface

Abstract

The development of Geotechnical Engineering goes together through the Case Histories considering the geological and geotechnical condition of the site. The most primitive geotechnical case histories may be dated back to 4000 BC in Egypt and until today; Geotechnical case histories have been the backbone of the sustainable growth of the infrastructures for the city and other purposes. The conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering reflects the motivations of our engineers to exchange knowledge and ideas due to the many problems that arise in the last decade. The growth of the economy of Indonesia recently is amazing, and the same for most Asian countries. Together all these factors have caused the increasing need of geotechnical advisory. The awareness of the demand for keeping up with the geotechnical technology motivated our university with series of workshop and conference about Case histories in Geotechnical Engineering. In conjunction with this conference AsRTC6 (Asian Regional Technical Committee) of GeoUrban Engineering take part in the GEOCASE 2023 Conference to enhance the meaningful of this conference theme.Many universities, research institutions, contractors and geotechnical consultants have gained experience and knowledge which are suitable for particular site. Case histories are also of significant values for the state of the art practice. Hence the seminar is very important event for exchange of ideas and experience and for contribution all over the world..I would like to extend my appreciation to all of you who have been travelling from far distance and specially to the Keynote Speakers and authors who made their efforts to share their knowledge and experience to the audience. This conference cannot be successful without the support of Universitas Katolik Parahyangan – Indonesia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia – Malaysia, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology – Taiwan, National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), Taiwan, and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn – Malaysia. Also Himpunan Ahli Teknik Tanah Indonesia (HATTI), Himpunan Ahli Konstruksi Indonesia (HAKI), International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), Indonesian Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR), and Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) for the cooperation and continuous support.Last but not least, to all members of the committee for their endless hard work and dedication, I have to acknowledge that they are the people behind the scene, for without them, this event will not come to reality.Finally to all participants, I wish you find this conference useful and beneficial to you, and your institution.Thank you.Prof. Ir. Paulus P. Rahardjo, Ph.D.Chairman of GEOCASE 2023 ConferenceList of Conference Co-Chair, Advisory Committee, Organizing Committee are available in this pdf.
