Opis

The pressuremeter quantifies in-situ stress, stiffness, strength and permeability in ground – using empirical design methods and numerical analyses. This covers the types of pressuremeter and control equipment, methods of installation, test procedures, methods of analysis, and design applications; with a detailed example.
