Abstract:

In this report, a description is made of procedures available to design single piles subjected to static lateral loads on the basis of pressuremeter test results Of the seven methods mentioned two are presented in detail: the Briaud-Smith-Meyer method in its detailed and simplified version and the Imai method. The methods are presented as step by step procedures. Then design examples are given and solved. An indication of the accuracy of the Briaud-Smith-Meyer method is given by comparing the predicted behavior and the measured behavior for actual case histories.
