ABSTRACT
Vo is normally limited to about 300 cm3 for probes used in AX and BX holes. The initial volume of these probes is on the order of 535 cm3. This means that (V
1135 cm3. These values may vary according to the design of the pressuremeter. The reservoir capacity in the control unit should be of the order of 1135 cm3. In case the
reservoir capacity is limited and PI is not reached within its limit, the test, has to be stopped at that level. In such a case, the limit value, PI' has to be extrapolated.
