Pressuremeter Tests and the Hardening Soil Model for Deep Excavations in the Athens Basin Formations
Pressuremeter Tests and the Hardening Soil Model for Deep Excavations in the Athens Basin Formations
Pressuremeter tests conducted within selected geological formations of the Athens basin have been evaluated geotechnically and mathematical expressions are proposed to determine the geotechnical parameters, which are required for design purposes. Pressuremeter proves to be an effective testing method for obtaining valuable information about the strength characteristics of the geological formations of the Athens basin. The results were proved instrumental for calibrating critical geotechnical parameters of the Hardening Soil model, which was adopted in numerous excavation designs in the aforesaid complex geological subsurface conditions, by offering realistic predictions.
