| Abstract | Four types of insitu tests were performed in the weathered
and soft Bangkok subsoils , namely: LLT pressuremeter, field vane,
screw p l ate a n d Dutch cone penetration tests . Th e tests were
performed at AIT campus and at Bangpa-in Industrial Estate. In
the laboratory, a series of consolidation tests were performed on
clay samples to obtain the preconsolidation pressure and
coefficient of consolidation. A series of CIU and CKoU triaxial
tests were also performed on clay samples. Another series of
unconfined compression tests and index tests were performed to
obtain undrained shear strength and Atterberg limits. At the
campus of Asian Institute of Technology t h e uppermost subsoil is
about 2 m weathered Bangkok c lay and underlain by soft Bangkok
clay. At Bangpa-in Industrial Estate the uppermost subsoil is
about 0.5- 1.0 meter weathered Bangkok clay , followed by 4- 5 meter
of soft Bangkok clay , underlain b y stiff clay. The average
laboratory and insitu soil parameters were obtained and were
correlated, verified and compared. Furthermore, the insitu tests
results were applied in sand compaction to predict the ultimate
bearing capacity and settlements of sand compaction piles. |
