A New Approach for Interpretation Strength Sensitivity to Po in Pressuremeter Testing

Abstract

The pressuremeter testing received a great application in site investigation and foundation design.

An optimization procedure for the soil behavior identification using pressuremeter results

“…The soil parameters can be determinated from pressuremeter tests by using an inverse analysis of the cavity pressure-cavity strain relationship measured in the field. To perform this, the pressuremeter test is generally simulated as the expansion of an infinitely long cylindrical cavity inside an infinite uniform medium by means of closed-form analytical solutions [1,2] or approached numerical models, such as the finite elements [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
