Description

Pressure cells, are used to measure total pressure in soils, rock and at the interface between soil and natural or concrete abutment structures, as well as on foundation contacts. The knowledge of total pressure, in addition to pore pressure and deformations, is an essential component for the complete understanding of ground behaviour as well as the calibration of numerical models.
