L'utilisation du pressiomètre par l'entreprise MENARD spécialisée en renforcement et d'amélioration de sol
ABSTRACT
The intellectual legacy of Louis Ménard continues to be honoured, notably through the French National Project ARSCOP. With the renewed development of dynamic compaction in several regions around the world, the importance of geotechnical characterization using the Ménard pressuremeter in situ test, both before and after ground improvement, remains one of the methods key strengths. In France, dynamic compaction has also seen a resurgence, particularly for applications on brownfield sites, due to its ability to drastically reduce the carbon footprint on construction sites when compared to concrete-based solutions. Within the ARSCOP framework, which is based on soil strain ranges, it is particularly relevant to examine how this approach contributes to soil densification objectives, aligning with the broader goal of achieving high performance with reduced energy input.
