Preface

Euro Asia Civil Engineering Forum (EACEF) was founded in 2006 in Stuttgart – Germany. The founders of EACEF are Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harianto Hardjasaputra, Professor of Pembangunan Jaya University – Indonesia, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karl-Heinz Reineck, Senior Lecturer of the University of Stuttgart-Germany. Both would like to further their many years of cooperation with their international colleagues (especially those from Europe and Asia) through EACEF. EACEF is a forum to promote cooperation and understanding between European and Asian countries, focusing on Civil Engineering expertise. EACEF will play an essential role as the bridge between these two continents in linking European and Asian Civil Engineers, especially those committed to sustainable development and environmentally friendly buildings. The conference has been conducted biannually since 2007 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and has been conducted in several countries as well. The details of previous conferences can be found at https://eacef.com/. As the biannual conference, the 8th EACEF conference should be conducted in September 2021. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EACEF committee decided to postpone the 8th EACEF conference to October 2022. This Proceeding contains papers based on invited keynote speeches and oral presentations at the 8th EACEF conference 2022 “Advanced and Innovative Technology for Sustainable Infrastructure”. The event was held on October 4th-5th 2022 at OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland and on October 12th-13th at University of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The event covered several topics: “Structural Engineering”, “Construction Material”, “Construction Management”, “Infrastructure Engineering”, and “Geotechnical Engineering”. The conference started with plenary sessions of keynote speakers on October 4th-5th 2022 (online presentation) and followed by technical sessions on October 12th-13th 2022 (hybrid presentation) which were divided into three parallel sessions. Each keynote speech took 30 minutes for presentation and discussion while speakers in technical sessions were given 10 minutes and 5 minutes for presentation and discussion, respectively. There was a total of 13 keynote speakers and 64 presenters which consist of both academicians and professionals from Indonesia as well as other countries such as China, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Morocco, United States of America, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, United Kingdom, and Australia. Zoom video conferencing application was used in the event which served the event very well. Finally, please allow us to thank all participants in the 8th EACEF conference 2022. We hope that the conference is beneficial in sharing advanced knowledge in the field of Civil Engineering. We would also like to thank our colleagues who have organized the conference. Indeed, it was a successful conference. Last but not least, we also would like to express our gratitude for the sponsors that have supported the conference.
