What is PMT? The pressuremeter test (PMT) is an in-situ test to estimate the amount of some soil parameters such as the elastic modulus. In simple words, PMT is performed by applying pressure to the sidewalls of a borehole, measuring the corresponding soil deformation. Briefly, a probe is placed in the borehole, then it is […]
