The pressuremeter is a versatile piece of ground investigation equipment that can be used
to test any type of soil or rock in situ. It quantifies in-situ stress, stiffness, strength and …

Site characterisation and in situ test interpretation have been evolving from basic empirical
recommendations to a sophisticated area demanding a thorough knowledge of material …

This paper reviews and evaluates the current use of fundamental mechanics in developing
rational interpretation methods for deriving soil properties from in situ test results. The focus …

This paper presents the result of five pressuremeter tests conducted in deep three clay shale
formations at a thermal operation site. Pressuremeter loading was imposed parallel to the …

The current use of fundamental mechanics in developing rational interpretation methods for
deriving soil properties from in situ test results is reviewed and evaluated. The focus is on …

Cylindrical cavity exhibits non-self-similarity during contraction process following expansion.
Previous studies solve this problem with total strain approach and simple constitutive …

The strain holding test (SHT), part of the self-boring pressuremeter test (SBPT), has been
effectively utilized to determine the horizontal coefficient of consolidation (ch). However, the …

This paper presents a methodology for identifying soil permeability from pressuremeter test.
On the first part we present a numerical analysis of the permeability effects on the test …
