| Abstract: |
In this paper, a design approach is presented in which a Piled Mat Foundation (PMF) system is adopted for a proposed 23 stories building (built in 1993) development on the first sand layer of Bangkok Clay. The PMF is supposed a design to limit maximum and differential settlement. It consists of driven piles (25 m long ) strategically located on uniform area and piling to on the first sand layer while the pile top interconnected with a rigid mat foundation. The piles will act as a pile group effect. The wider dimensions both width and length will increase the ability of reducing overall and differential settlement. |
