Self-boring pressuremeter permeability measurements in Bothkennar clay

Self-boring pressuremeter permeability measurements in Bothkennar clay

The MK II method of direct permeability measurement was successfully demonstrated at the Bothkennar soft clay test site using a conventional self-boring pressuremeter system. In addition to permeability measurement, conventional expansion pressuremeter tests and holding tests were also conducted, an...

Zusammenfassung:The MK II method of direct permeability measurement was successfully demonstrated at the Bothkennar soft clay test site using a conventional self-boring pressuremeter system. In addition to permeability measurement, conventional expansion pressuremeter tests and holding tests were also conducted, and the results were shown to correspond well with earlier data at the site.
