Entry: Ménard pressuremeter test
URI: https://data.geoscience.fr/ncl/Proc/94
The Ménard pressuremeter test is performed by the radial expansion of a tricell probe placed in the ground. During the injection of the liquid volume in the probe, the inflation of the three cells first brings the outer cover of the probe into contact with the pocket wall and then presses on them resulting in a soil displacement. Pressure applied to and the associated volume expansion of the probe are measured and recorded so as to obtain the stress-strain relationship of the soil as tested
