Water pressure tests are a common method of soil exploration in engineering geology. The classification of water pressure test results is usually carried out by expert geologists. This paper presents a method for the automatic classification of water pressure test curves. After discussing the features extracted from the test curves the fuzzy rule base used for classification is described. Some ...

Introduction An early textbook in hydrology (Mead 1919) contains a remarkable chapter on ground water as well as two chapters on geology. The author, Daniel W. Mead, a professor of hydraulic and sanitary engineering at the University of Wisconsin (now the University of WisconsinMadison), based the text on lecture notes (published earlier, Mead [1904]) for his course in general hydrology. In fac...
