THE INFLUENCE OF SOIL STIFFNESS AND LATERAL STRESS ON THE RESULTS OF INSITU SOIL TESTS

The results of in-situ tests depend on the strength, stiffness and permeability properties of the ground, as well as the in-situ stresses. Results are presented for the cone penetrometer, piezocone, Marchetti dilatometer and cone-pressuremeter, and tests in both clays and sands are considered. Recom...
