Abstract
There have been unique opportunities to study the performance of large diameter cast in situ piles in Bangkok. A trial piling programme for a mass transport system has included an extensive programme of construction and testing of straight-shafted trial piles. This paper presents data singled out for two particular instrumental piles. The data are used to demonstrate the influence of thermal strains on the integrity of a pile, and, in particular, seek to explore the evidence for the development of residual shaft friction and tensile cracking merely as a consequence of construction. The evidence contributes to understanding post-construction mechanisms which influence the development of shaft friction during loading. (A)
