High Resolution Pressuremeters and Geotechnical Engineering The Measurement of Small Things

This book on in situ soil testing devices focuses on pressuremeters with internal transducers that allow measurement of strength, stiffness and in-situ reference stress. It outlines principles, basic technology, and good practice, with case studies, and some comparison with other devices and tests.

About the author

John Hughes is an academic and engineer. He developed the Cambridge Self Boring Pressuremeter and a number of key solutions for interpreting their data.
Robert Whittle is co-owner of Cambridge Insitu Ltd, who manufacture and develop John's pressuremeters. He has written extensively on their use and interpretation.
