PRESSUREMETER AND SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS ON STIFF CLAY
The bearing capacity and settlement rules for the design of shallow foundations on stiff clays using the results of pressuremeter tests are reviewed. The results of 17 footing tests on 8 stiff clays are used, together with pressuremeter test results to evaluate the existing rules. New simplified bearing capacity rules are proposed. Menard's equation for settlement is proven reasonably accurate. An elasticity approach to settlement calculations using the pressuremeter modulus is proposed.
