Application of pressuremeter test to estimating intensity parameters in geological exploration for Sutong Bridge

The use method of pressure meter test and some special measures for in-situ pressuremeter test for exploration of a bridge which is affected by tide, are described in detail. The principles and treatment methods for intensity parameter. Indexes in the pressure-meter tests are also analyzed; and these methods and principles have been applied to treat intensity parameter indexes of the Sutong Bridge so as to offer design intensity parameters for the bridge design. The results will be for reference of similar projects.
