Predicting laterally loaded pile behaviour using the Pressuremeter

To reliably determine the lateral load-deflection behaviour of a piled foundation, a load test is commonly required. In-situ geotechnical tools, such as the cone penetrometer and the pressuremeter, have been successfully used to predict the lateral capacity of piles without the need for a load test....
