In a pressuremeter test in a soft saturated clay, the measuring cell volume V o = 535
Question:
In a pressuremeter test in a soft saturated clay, the measuring cell volume Vo = 535 cm3, po = 42.4 kN/m2, pf = 326.5 kN/m2, vo = 46 cm3, and vf = 180 cm3. Assuming Poisson’s ratio (µs) to be 0.5 and using Figure 3.31, calculate the pressuremeter modulus (Ep).

I have extensive seven years of tutoring experience in a variety of Civil Engineering courses. I have worked with the Civil Engineering Department at Assiut University, Egypt as a teaching assistant from February 2012 to June 2016. Throughout my time in the Civil Engineering Department, I have taught several civil engineering subjects including soil mechanics, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, and surveying. Also, I was responsible for conducting labs in the area of soil mechanics, structural mechanics, and hydraulics.
As of Fall 2019, I joined the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences at the University of Wollongong in Dubai as an instructor[full-time position]. My role with the UOWD involved the following:
- Provide daily instruction to undergraduate students in the classroom and in individual conferences as needed.
- Conducting labs in the area of soil mechanics, structural mechanics, geo-technics, hydraulics, and surveying.
- Helping undergraduate students with their final projects and writing their theses.
