Development of Pressuremeter Test

Abstract:

Insitu tests are mostly considered to be cheap, quick and they are used sometimes to measure certain insitu properties ,such as modulus and lateral stress not readily evaluated by laboratory tests. A form of insitu investigation which is receiving increasing recognition is the pressuremeter. The pressuremeter devices and tests experienced extensive development in both , the technical aspects and the interpretation theories which been used extensively in several testing laboratories . In the present research a comparison between different theories used to evaluate the pressuremeter tests where different were found when using different results for the same test .
