| Abstract | This thesis presents results of the study carried out to measure in-situ and Laboratory Permeability of Bangkok Clay at Nong Ngoo Hao and at AIT campus, Rangsit. In-situ measurements were made by installing piezometers at Nong Ngoo Hao and Rangsit, while soil samples were obtained from Nong Ngoo Hao for laboratory measurements. The results were analysed as suggested by WILKINSON (1968), TAN (1970) and other investigators working on the same approach. The test result show that the permeability of macrostructure of a soil mass can be much higher than the microstructure permeability. It was also found that laboratory permeability determined by large size test specimen gives a value closer to the in-situ measured values. |
