N2  - The performance of  geotube breakwater  constructed along the eroded Upper Gulf of  Thailand  was studied.  The  settlement  records  were  compiled  and  analyzed  for  the  geotube  constructed on the eastern and weste rn side s of the Chao Phraya river mouth. In addition the  subsoil condition s in the tidal zone along the  coastline  were investiga ted  and compared with  those  in  the  inland  area.  The  geotube  placed  on  the  soft  soil  without  pile  supports suffered  drastic settl ement over 3 years period after construction. R ock topping of the geotube to raise  back  the  crest  in  recent  year s resul ted  in  settlement  problem  and  difficulties in  construction .  2D  FEM  analysis  was  performed  t o  back - analyz e soft  clay  parameter s and  predic t the  settlement of geotube breakwaters . The back analysis indicated that the  actual settlements of  the  geotube  were  much  larger  than  those  theoretically  predicted  by  the  parameter  values  of  laboratory  test  results.  The  actu al  settlement  of  the  geotbe  seem ed  to  be  affected  by  factor  other than the compressibility of the soft subsoil as well
