Use of Pressuremeter Tests in conjunction with CPTu for Geotechnical Investigation for Tall Buildings
Use of Pressuremeter Tests in conjunction with CPTu for Geotechnical Investigation for Tall Buildings
Combining pressuremeter test results with those of cone penetration tests enhances the quality of the geotechnical data and helps to develop a realistic design profile for foundation analysis. A case study of geotechnical investigation for a 42-storied building using pressuremeter tests, CPTu and cross-hole seismic tests is presented to demonstrate the selection of parameters for foundation analysis. In addition to greater reliability in the design, it resulted in substantial savings in the foundation cost.
