Investigation of The α β and Nq parameter for pile foundation design in the university of phayao

Abstract

The existence of University of Phayao as well as the recent University of Phayao Medical Center and Hospital has influenced the continuous economic growth of Phayao province. Beside the development of University of Phayao, University of Phayao Medical Center and Hospital have been targeted to be the service center of Eastern Lanna including Chiang Rai, Phayao, Phrae, and Nan. As a result, the high-rise buildings have been increased to prepare for the foreseeable demand such as education building, dormitory, and hotel. The load-bearing capacity of the high-rise buildings foundation needs the deep foundation or pile to support its large and heavy structure. As we know that the pile is the basis for design of deep foundation and in designing the pile, there are different parameters to achieve the most suitability or specific requirements of the targeted areas, designer’s purpose, and other factors focused. By this reason, this research aims to find out the main parameter including  and  which are suitable to apply for the pile design using in University of Phayao and neighborhood area. At the end of this study, the proper parameters are concluded from comparing the load-bearing capacity of the plies of the high-rise buildings in University of Phayao between the employment of static pile load test and the application of dynamic pile load test. The outcome would be beneficial to the present and near-term expansion of University of Phayao, University of Phayao Medical Center and Hospital, and other concerned areas; moreover, to the relevant studies in the future.
