Abstract

The concepts of mounting a pressuremeter module behind a cone penetrometer was applied in the early 1980s. The pressuremeter module is of 40mm diameter with length / diameter ratio of 10 inflated by nitrogen gas. This cone pressuremeter(CPM) is used to obtain the ground characteristics consisted of mainly silty, clay and sand. Field tests such as SPT, PMT, Vane tests are also carried out to understand the ground condition. Undisturbed samples are obtained to carried out Lah tests. The results of these field and lab tests are presented, discussed in detail, and compared with each others.
