Abstract:Research purposes: The introduction is given to the test procedure and the principle of getting the design parameters of Menard Pressuremeter Test and the calculation process of pile length for the deep foundation. The calculation was made for the bridge project of the East-West Freehway in Algeria. And the calculation method and result were compared with the conventional test method used in China to know the merits of the PMT for providing the reference to the similar works and making this test applied widely in China.
Research conclusions: From the analysis it is concluded: (1) The French norm stipulates that the in-situ testing data can be used for calculation of embedded depth of foundation in construction drawing stage, while the laboratory data can be used for the preliminary design. These are clearly different from the domestic practice. The application of the standard penetration, dynamic sounding, static sounding and other techniques has big limitation. So in this project, the pressuremeter test is the only way to get the in-situ data. (2) PMT has a wide applicable range, with the features of easy operation, reliable parameters and mature calculation method.
