Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Field Testing - Part 8: Full Displacement Pressuremeter Test
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 22476-8 standard specifies the requirements for conducting pressuremeter tests using the full displacement pressuremeter (FDP) as part of geotechnical investigation services. This standard is in accordance with EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2, which are European standards for geotechnical design.
The full displacement pressuremeter test involves measuring the deformation of soils and weak rocks in situ by applying pressure to a cylindrical flexible membrane that expands or contracts. The FDP is inserted into the ground using an integral cone at its lower end, thus creating its own test hole. The equipment used for FDP testing can vary in design, so the standard provides descriptions based on the installation and measuring systems employed.
