Applicable for : oft clay, fine to medium and. The preuremeter i a cylindrical device deigned to apply a uniform radial preure to the ide of a borehole in which it i placed. There are two different baic type: The Menard preuremeter which i lowered into a preformed borehole The Self-boring preuremeter which form it own borehole and thu caue much le diturbance to the oil prior to teting THE PRESSUREMETER TEST In both cae, the preuremeter tet involve the application of known tree to the oil and the meaurement of the reulting oil deformation. The ide of the borehole are loaded by preuriing a fluid contained within a flexible rubber membrane. THE PRESSUREMETER TEST (MPT) The device conit of three part (top, cell and bottom) a hown below: The expanion of the cavity i determined either by meauring the volume of fluid needed to preurie the membrane and/or by meauring the movement of the oil at the cavity wall uing lvdt (diplacement tranducer). Generally, preuremeter are deigned for maximum inflation preure in the range 2.5-10MPa in oil and 10-20 MPa in very tiff oil and weak rock. E and K 0 can be determined. Bowle, 1997 5

FIELD VANE TEST The vane hear tet may be ued during the drilling operation to determine the in-itu undrained hear trength (c u ) of clay oil, particularly oft clay. The vane hear apparatu conit of four blade on the end of a rod. The height, H of the vane i twice the diameter, D. The dimenion of vane are; D=38.1mm, H=76.2mm, 1.6mm thick blade and 12.7mm diameter of rod. Thi tet i performed every 0.75 to 1 m of depth. FIELD VANE TEST The vane of the apparatu are puhed into the oil at the bottom of a borehole without diturbing the oil appreciably. Torque i applied at the top of the rod to rotate the vane at a tandard rate of 0.1º/ec. Thi rotation will induce failure in a oil of cylindrical hape urrounding the vane. The maximum torque, T applied to caue failure i meaured. 6

A loading plate i circular or quare in hape and i manufactured from machined teel plate with a min. thickne of 25mm. The diamater of circular plate range from 150-760mm. The load i either of gravity type applied through a platform or reaction type applied by a hydraulic jack. The plate loading tet procedure may be found in ASTM D-1194, ASTM D-1195 and ASTM D-1196. 7
PLATE LOAD TEST Mot reliable way to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity at a ite i to perform a load tet. PLATE LOAD TEST Procedure 1) Pile hould be driven firt, to avoid exce vibration & looening of oil in excavation area. 2) Excavate a hole a certain depth that the tet i to be performed. Tet hole depth > 4B 3) A load i placed on the plate (uually teel) and ettlement are recorded from a gauge. Load increment 1/5 bearing capacity of oil or 1/10 etimated failure load. Time of loading 1 hr & hould be ame duration for all increment. Bowle, 1997 4) Tet hould continue until ettlement = 25 mm or, until capacity of teting apparatu i reached.

Coring of Rock When a rock layer i encountered during a drilling operation, rock coring may be neceary. For coring of rock, a core barrel i attached to a drilling rod. A coring bit i attached to the bottom of the core barrel. The coring i advanced by rotary drilling. Water i circulated through the drilling rod during coring and the cutting i wahed out. To evaluate the rock quality encountered, Rock Quality Deignation (RQD) i ued. RQD= ΣLength of recovered piece equal to or larger tha n 101.6mm Theoretica l length of rock cored 0-0.25 very poor and 0.9-1 i excellent rock quality. Geophyical Teting Advantage relatively cheap compared to borehole and in-itu teting option non-detructive (no hole/excavation are required) Diadvantage reult are often inconcluive or unreliable not yet fully accepted by the indutry. GEOPHYSICAL METHODS Ueful in ground invetigation in reconnaiance tage Supplementary method (not uitable for all oil) Capable of etimating depth to bedrock etimating depth to water table filling in detail between borehole GEOPHYSICAL METHODS 1) Seimic Refraction Method: Seimic wave have different velocitie in different type of oil. Two type of tre wave: P Wave : plane wave 200 m/ in and to 2500 m/ in clay S Wave : hear wave Le cot than other in-itu tet Definitive interpretation of the reult i difficult, o hould be ued for preliminary work 9
GEOPHYSICAL METHODS Seimic refraction urvey are ueful in obtaining preliminary information about the thickne of the layering of variou oil and the depth to rock or hard oil at a ite. They are conducted by impacting the urface at a point and oberving the firt arrival of the diturbance (tre wave) at other point. The impact can be created by a hammer blow or by a mall exploive charge. The firt arrival of diturbance wave at variou point can be recorded by geophone.
