Research Collaboration on Unsaturated soil
saline damage
Investigation of saline damage area in the
northeastern part of Thailand (2005.10.13-20) Inv
estigation of saline soil was carried out by
Tokyo Tech, Kobe University with collaborations
from Ministry of Agricultures, Ministry of
Industry, Ministry of Science and Technology of
Thailand.
Workshop on Numerical method for unsaturated soil
behaviors prediction (2006.11.27) Workshop held
in Bangkok was co-organized by GSIC (Tokyo Tech),
RCUSS (Kobe University) and GERD (Kasetsart
University, Thailand )

Tsunami simulation
The computer program developed for PC cluster of
Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University
is tuned up and tested on TSUBAME of Tokyo Tech
for investigating a high performance and
evaluating the efficiency of parallel computing
techniques.
