Abstract
A simple and cost effective version of pressuremeter (PMT) has been developed in Pakistan at the
University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. This PMT called ‘Akbar Pressuremeter (APMT)’
has been used as prebored as well as full displacement pressuremeter. In-situ testing using APMT,
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetrometer (CPT) was carried out at three different
sites. The sites comprised very soft to medium stiff clays,stiff to very stiff clays and loose to medium
dense sands. Un-disturbed sampling using Shelby tubes was also carried out to determine soil strength
parameters in the laboratory. An attempt has been made to develop mathematical correlations of PMT
data with SPT, CPT and laboratory tests data. Plausibility analysis of the mathematical correlations
has also been carried out
