Pressuremeter Test
Abstract This chapter focusses on another insitu test, the pressuremeter. The Menard type pressuremeter and the self boring pressuremeter are described including the test procedures and stress relaxation at the commencement of the test. The pressuremeter test has a strong theoretical base and this is described in the book. A description of obtaining the insitu lateral stress, modulus, undrained shear strength for cohesive soils and the friction angle for granular soils from theory is provided. Empirical correlations to correct the parameters obtained from a direct theoretical interpretation of the pressuremeter test curve are provided. The use of Menard type pressuremeter test results directly in the design of shallow foundations using empirical correlations is described. Correlations to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity and ultimate skin friction of deep foundations are also presented. Finally, correlations between the pressuremeter test results and SPT as well as the cone penetrometer test results are provided.
