Abstract
The limit pressure that evaluated from pressuremeter tests has been shown to represent a key constitutive relationship for bearing capacity and shallow foundation design. The theoretical and the conventional limits pressure have been evaluated from different methods of interpretation using different theories. This paper provides a new method for interpretation the conventional limit pressure, the new method showed very good agreements with other methods used for evaluating the conventional limit pressure. The new method named as conventional limit pressure. The results of Menard pressuremeter conducted in Abu-Dhabi site been analyzed in five methods of interpretation for conventional and theoretical limit pressure. The deduced results from different methods showed some discrepancies for the same tests. The tested soil can be described as poorly graded sand with silt.
