this paper presents a description of the equipment, testing procedure, and methodology to obtain ground mechanical parameters. the p-y curves for laterally loaded piles are developed. methods for the development of p-y curves from pressure meter and dilatometer (dmt) test are described. p-y curves are used in the analysis to represent lateral soil-pile interaction. the pressure meter offers an ...

In this study, the elastic modulus of cemented sand and gravel (CSG) dam its dependence on confining pressure were clarified by performing triaxial compression tests pressuremeter tests. The results these material verified a reproduction analysis dynamic behavior Apporo Dam during an actual earthquake. By analyzing 30 seismic records dam, characteristics clarified. New findings obtained regardi...
