The Push-in Pressuremeter: 5 Years Offshore Experience

Source

The importance of in-situ testing of soils has been recognised for some time. To extend the equipment available for in-situ testing in an offshore environment, the British Government financed the development of a wireline operated push-in pressuremeter and since 1980 the Stressprobe has been used extensively offshore. This paper updates the record of tests carried out with the Stressprobe equipment since 1982 and describes the software used for test evaluation. Examples of test data are given and alternative forms of analysis are compared.
