Relationship between pressuremeter test results, SPT-N value and other in-situ tests for deposits in the Saint-Charles River area, Quebec, CanadaRelation entre les résultats d’essais pressiom
This paper presents the relationship between the pressuremeter modulus (Epmt) measured using the Texam pressuremeter and the N-SPT value of the standard penetration test for deposits in the Saint-Charles River area, the longest watercourse crossing Quebec City, Canada. This study is based on various geotechnical investigations carried out over the years in this urbanized sector of Quebec City, where these large deposits can reach a thickness of over 50 metres. The objective of this contribution is first to propose correlations between the N-SPT value and the pressuremeter modulus, to compare with the correlations from CPTu tests carried out in this deposit and to compare the results with some correlations from the literature.
