Correlations Between the Menard Pressuremeter Test and Cpt for Some Algerian Soils
Abstract eng: This paper presents a statistical analysis of Menard pressuremeter parameters (Em, pllim) and cone penetration test (CPT) correlations for soils in Algeria. The data are obtained from geotechnical investigations carried out in several sites, in northern Algeria, intended for electrical power plants projects. The stratigraphy of these sites reveals a layer of saturated sands relatively loose overlying marl. Additional data from similar sites were used. After presentation of synthesis of existing correlations, the results of the study are detailed and compared with the existing ones. Comparison between the present results and the few correlation suggested in literature indicates that the already existing equations may not be suitable for soils in Algeria.
