| Abstract | This study aims at proposing an alternative analysis method for settlement
calculation of Bearing Unit in Bangkok area. The proposed analysis is based on single
pile behavior, which can be subdivided in two portions. For piles with low factor of
safety, the load is assumed to be transferred to soft clay layer. Whereas for piles with
high factor of safety, the load is assumed to be transferred to deeper ground. One section
of the bearing unit along the Highway No. 34 at km 31 was studied, and comparison of
settlement calculation from back analysis and field measurement are presented. Based on
proposed analysis, a modified configuration of bearing unit at km 31 of Highway No. 34,
is providing smooth transition during its 20 years service period.
From the results of analysis, settlement of the bearing unit can be predicted well by
proposed analysis. The predicted settlement profile of Bearing Unit section agrees well
with the measured field data. The modified configuration has longer bearing zone and
more piles than the current configuration by 70 % in te1m of total length of piles. |
