Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Field Testing - Part 4: Prebored Pressuremeter Test by Ménard Procedure
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 22476-4 standard focuses on the Ménard pressuremeter test. This test is part of geotechnical investigation and testing as per EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
The standard outlines the equipment requirements for conducting the Ménard pressuremeter test and provides guidelines for its execution. It also covers the reporting requirements related to the test. The test can be conducted in different types of soil, including natural soils, treated or untreated fills, and even in rocks. It can be carried out on both on-land and off-shore locations.
The purpose of the Ménard pressuremeter test is to determine the strength and deformation parameters of the ground. The test results are quantitative and can provide valuable insights into the characteristics of the soil, its behavior under load, and its overall engineering properties.
