Abstract

AbstractThis paper discusses some of the more commonly used field testing methods used to determine various geotechnical parameters needed to classify soils and rocks in engineering terms and to provide engineering design values. The methods of performing, and the application of, various penetration, shear strength, plate loading, pressuremeter and dilatometer and permeablity tests are described. The use of geophysical methods to obtain, indirectly, mechanical parameter values is also discussed.
