Pressuremeter Test Course
This course teaches pressuremeter testing from field setup to design application. Participants learn probe selection, quality control, data interpretation, and reporting to convert pressure-volume curves into reliable soil parameters, enabling safer and more efficient foundation engineering decisions. It covers test planning, execution, analysis, foundation design, and standard-compliant reporting for practical geotechnical applications.
