FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE CONE-PRESSUREMETER TEST

A finite element analysis of the cone pressuremeter test in sand is presented in which the test is idealised as a cylindrical cavity expansion in a Mohr-Colulomb material. A method of estimating strength parameters from the cone pressuremeter test is suggested. Finally, cavity expansion theory is us...
