This paper examines the influence of the cutting shoe size of a pressuremeter apparatus in the light of soil behaviour after some unloading and loading. An oversized cutting shoe creates a gap between the borehole and the pressuremeter probe, causing a stress release with a probable consequence of overestimating the shear strength of the soil. An undersized cutting shoe imposes a certain load to the surrounding soil prior to the pressuremeter test, thus introducing errors in measuring the stress-strain relationship of the soil. To gain a quantitative idea of such an influence, Cambridge self-boring pressuremeter tests were carried out on Leda clay at two sites in the Ottawa region. It was found that in the case of an oversized cutting shoe,...
