Abstract
In an attempt to develop an acoustic emission (AE) field procedure to directly determine preconsolidation pressures, laboratory feasibility tests on granular soils and on cohesive soils have been conducted. Consolidation test specimens were prepared, stressed to known values and then unloaded. Its strength, however, lies in the fact that the AE method can be readily used in field measurements, e.g., by adapting a pressuremeter into an "acoustic pressuremeter". This should enable one to augment the downhole deformation, or volume, measurements necessary in the field during standard pressuremeter testing.--Modified journal abstract.
