Determination of soil deformation and strength properties is great importance in geotechnical design. The disturbance that occurred during the sampling from field affects results obtained by laboratory tests. Therefore, lack representation conditions in-situ features with tests leads designers to carry out Standard penetration test (SPT) Menard pressuremeter (PMT) are most widely used which uti...

A pressuremeter test (PMT) is a representative and highly reliable in situ for assessing the stress–strain behavior of weathered granite. Its application, however, restricted by its cost time requirements. Many researchers have also investigated correlations between SPT-N value modulus (Em) limit pressure (PL) soils, but they mostly focused on sand, silt, clay employed simple regression analysi...

In this study, the elastic modulus of cemented sand and gravel (CSG) dam its dependence on confining pressure were clarified by performing triaxial compression tests pressuremeter tests. The results these material verified a reproduction analysis dynamic behavior Apporo Dam during an actual earthquake. By analyzing 30 seismic records dam, characteristics clarified. New findings obtained regardi...
