MODELING RATE EFFECTS AND CYCLIC LOADS WITH THE PRESSUREMETER. Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A relatively new tool, the cone pressuremeter (CPMT) was used in order to evaluate its usefulness in predicting the effects on soil due to various rates of loading and to repetitive loading. Field tests were conducted in two phases. The first phase included 24 CPMT tests, at the Texas A&M University research annex, which were designed to show 1) if the CPMT could be used to predict the effects on the soil due to both rate effects and repetitive loads and 2) if the CPMT should be inserted into a prebored hole to the desired test depth or if the CPMT should be driven to the desired test depth. The soils at the research annex were a clay and a sand.
