This study applied the kunzelstab penetration Test (KPT) or Light Penetrometer to examined penetration resistance values geological profiles and estimate shear strength properties of soils. KPT tests were carried out on steep slopes that exhibit potential slope movement in Chiang Rai province. The principal uses of the KPT are examined; i.e. correction method for N’KPT’ soil profile and allowable bearing capacity of soil foundation. KPT tests were conducted at 13 boreholes each measuring 4.00 m long along the crown of the slope. The results indicated the compacted layer and located the firm layer of soil foundation. The average allowable bearing capacities were 1.53 t/m2 at depth of 1.00-5.00 m and 17.06 t/m2 for 5.00-6.00 m depth respectively. Furthermore this paper presents an analysis of the stability of a slope with the shear strength parameters of the soil and the geological profile were defined based on the results of KPT. The results of factor of safety were below the stable value for analysis cases with groundwater table. Test results demonstrate the usefulness of the KPT method in geotechnical investigations to estimate soil profile and bearing capacity efficiently and economically. This approach is also less time consuming compared to other geotechnical site investigation methods.

This research aims to study the achievement evaluation of CPD program for accountants as required the Department of Business Development. The data were collected from a sample of 200 accountants in Bangkok area who registered with the Federation of Accounting Professions using questionnaire and individual interview. The statistics used for data analysis were Percentage Mean and Standard Deviation. The research found that the respondents were mostly female half of them were 31-40 years old and over 20 years of working experiences and completed a bachelors degree in accounting mostly married status and average salary was 20001-30000 baht per month thus higher than the minimum standard (15000 baht per month). The respondents was rated to be most appropriate as a whole including Lecturer Training Method and Training Curriculum (4.28 points average). In addition the achievement was at a high level (3.84 points average). The curriculum was utilized at the moderate level (3.33 points average). Finally the knowledge utilization was utilized namely in practice 79.50 percent the knowledge transfer to the colleagues 11 percent and the others 5.00 percent and unutilized 4.50 percent.

The objectives of this research are to propose a model for risk assessment of Measles and Rubella morbidity in Thailand to investigate factors influencing on the Measles and Rubella morbidity rates and to construct the disease maps of those two diseases. The generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) in which the responses have a Poisson distribution and the spatial effects follow a multivariate conditional autoregressive model (MCAR) are adopted. The dependent variables are the number of Measles and Rubella disease patients in each province. The factors considered are average temperature the amount of rainfall and regions. The results show that the temperature rainfall and regions influence on the Measles and Rubella morbidity rates. Measles and Rubella maps are easy for readers to see which areas are at high risk and to compare the morbidity rates among those areas by looking at those different colors.

The purpose of this research is to study assessment of safety in construction of building projects. The safety assessment form was developed by referring to the Ministerial Regulations. The safety assessment composed of 8 categories: (1) construction site perimeter (2) electricity and fire protection (3) crane (4) passenger lift and material hoist (5) welding (6) fall protection (7) temporary scaffolding and stairs and (8) personal protective equipment. Based on the safety assessment of the construction site the size of the large building exceeds 2000 m2 and height exceeds 23.00 m. in the Bangkok metropolitan has of 20 buildings. The average of safety is 80 percent. By construction site perimeter the highest average and the fall protection has the lowest mean. So all parties involved workers contractors and project owner in particular need to focus on safety work to prevention against falls from high in order to reduce the loss of property life company reputation including the morale of the work as well.

Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) encountered problems voltage swell from the changes of power system configuration high-voltage 115 kV substation name Lopburi2 to radial. Control Center closed capacitor bank caused the steel industry electric power plants and renewable energy solar tripped themselves out. As a result EGAT loosed of power produced of solar power plants. It also affected confidence in the systems power consumption. EGAT’s necessary to learn from this event. This research was simulation power system modeling of “High Voltage Substation Lopburi2” and grid connection both the system EGAT and PEA with EMTDC-PSCAD for analysis of the voltage swell caused by close capacitor bank at “Lopburi2” substation compared with actual events then calculated the voltage swell occurred at high voltage station linkage. Finally this research presents a method of reduction of their impact of close capacitor bank at “Loburi2” to avoid the voltage swell in the future.
