Complementarity of PMT and MWD tests
Complementarity of PMT and MWD tests
The measurement of drilling parameters during the creation of the cavity for the Ménard pre-bored pressuremeter test is an important source of information. These measurements cannot generally be interpreted in their raw state. Several compound parameter relationships have been proposed to minimize the influence of certain error factors. Among these relationships, the Somerton relationship proposes a drilling index that is undoubtedly the one with the most potential for comparison with the Ménard pressuremeter limit pressure. This paper presents an analysis of multiple sites and shows the good correlation between these two parameters.
