Pressuremeter Test Tool
Geometry of Pressuremeter Test
Tips
This tool is for evaluating the soil by pressuremeter test, as shown in the figure above.
All the input parameters should be positive.
The volume of the measuring cell is default as 0.000535 m
3
.
Zone 1, 2 and 3 represents the reloading portion, the pseudoelastic zone and plastic zone respectively.
The state between zone 1 and 2 is "initial point". The state between zone 2 and 3 is "creep point". The state at the end of zone 3 is "limit point".

in clay.
For "nan", "0" or "inf" displayed in Results, please check your input parameters.
