UN APERCU DE L'UTILISATION DU T-BAR MINIATURE EN CENTRIFUGEUSE AN OVERVIEW OF THE CENTRIFUGE T-BAR

The T-bar penetrometer is an alternative "full flow" penetrometer which, unlike the cone penetrometer, allows for a direct measurement of the undrained shear strength in soft material. The paper presents theoretical principals along with some ex- amples of application in centrifuge and recent evolutions.
