Abstract

Horizontal stresses in Chicago glacial clays were measured in situ with a self-boring pressuremeter (SBPM). The lightly overconsolidated, saturated clays contained gravel-sized particles throughout the deposit requiring the use of jetting to insert the SBPM. Values of K_o from the SBPM results were computed using pore pressure data from pneumatic piezometers. The effects of jetting, the presence of gravel, and stress history, on the observed response are discussed. -from Authors
