AbstractThe performances of bored, driven and auger press pile in Bangkok subsoils are evaluated by comparing their skin frictions of piles embedded in clay, end- b earing resistance of piles having tips in sand and the settlements based on the soil-pile Elastic ' s Modulus . The study of the performance of the auger press pile i s concentrated on the consequence of the construction technique. Auger press piling technique performed in clay seems to yield less effect on the pile capacity, compared to that performed in the sand . But its effect on settlement behaviour is clearly shown for both piling in c lay and sand. The empirical soil mechanics method for the estimation of the capacities of the three pile types is proposed . Good correlations are obtained in the predicted failure loads compared to the capacities obtained from loading tests.
