FULL-DISPLACEMENT PRESSUREMETER METHOD FOR RIGID PILES UNDER LATERAL LOADS AND MOMENTS

The results of full-displacement pressuremeter tests in beds of sand, clay, and layered soil have been used to estimate the lateral soil pressures, ultimate capacity, and displacements of instrumented rigid model piles under eccentric and inclined loads. Comparisons of these estimates with observations on the piles under horizontal load and pure moment have been made and reasonable agreement is found. The analyses are also compared with some field case records.
