CHARACTERIZATION OF THE DEFORMABILITY OF ROCK MASSES BY DILATOMETER TESTS

THE EXPERIENCE IS ILLUSTRATED WHICH HAS BEEN GATHERED BY THE LNEC ON CARRYING OUT 387 DILATOMETER TESTS, CONTRIBUTED BY 9 PROGRAMS SPANNING A WIDE RANGE OF ENGINEERING INTERESTS. THE EXAMPLES POINT TO THE RELIABILITY OF THE LNEC DILATOMETER AS AN INSTRUMENT ALLOWING A QUALITY INDEX TO BE ASCRIBED TO ROCK MASSES, WITH SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR THEIR CHARACTERIZATION AS TO DEFORMABILITY. /AUTHOR/
