Factors affecting the interpretation and analysis of full-displacement pressuremeter tests in sandsHowie, John Alan January 1991 (has links)
The Full-Displacement Pressuremeter (FDPM) Test is one in which a pressuremeter is installed in the soil by pushing it behind a conical tip. Earlier work had indicated that the unload-reload modulus measured with the FDPM was very similar to that obtained from self-boring pressuremeter (SBPM) testing. It had also been suggested that if the pressuremeter was capable of sufficient expansion, the interpreted soil properties would be those of the soil beyond the zone of disturbance. This study examined the factors affecting the measurement, analysis and interpretation of soil properties from FDPM pressure-expansion curves in sands with emphasis on the unload-reload modulus.
The effects of equipment design and dimensions, installation method and of test procedure on the analysis and interpretation of lateral stress, shear strength and stiffness were studied during laboratory and field evaluation of two prototype FDPMs. The overwhelming importance of instrument dimensions and tolerances on the test results was clearly shown. Movements of a fraction of a millimetre can have a large effect on the measured lateral stress and stiffness. Test procedures were also shown to have a large effect on the data obtained. It was demonstrated that rate effects became important in pressuremeter tests involving expansion to large strains and a stress-strain strain rate concept was proposed to aid in the understanding of these effects.
Theories developed for the interpretation of shear strength of sands from SBPM tests were shown to be inapplicable to the interpretation of FDPM test results. The unload-reload modulus was shown to be an indicator of soil stiffness but the effects of stress level and degree of unloading have to be considered when attempting to derive a stiffness for design. A rational approach to the interpretation of modulus was presented and it was shown that unload-reload moduli from both SBPM and FDPM could be interpreted using the same approach. The need for standardising the equipment design, testing procedures and methods of analysis and interpretation was shown. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Civil Engineering, Department of / Graduate

A novel cuffless technique for non-invasive blood pressure measurement under post-exercise conditions. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2008 (has links)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death. It is also one of the major factors resulting sudden deaths in exercises. Blood pressure (BP) is one of the vital diagnostic parameters to reflect the functionality of cardiovascular system and evaluate the conditions of CVD. However, current BP measuring devices usually require the occlusion of cuff that causes inconvenience to users during measurement. They are neither suitable nor practical for long-term monitoring. Pulse transit time (PTT), the duration for a pressure pulse wave to travel from one arterial site to another, has been proposed as a potential parameter for cuffless BP measurement in recent decades. Because of its cuffless and non-invasive measuring features, the aim of the present study is to develop a novel PTT-based BP estimation for cuffless and non-invasive monitoring of BP under resting and exercise conditions. / The accuracy of proposed method for continuous BP monitoring has been evaluated on seventeen subjects during cycling. Brachial BP was measured by FinapresRTM (Fin. BP) and a trained nurse (Nur. BP). In approximate 22000 beats, the differences between predictions and Fin. BP were 1.3+/-13.0 mmHg for SBP and -1.5+/-6.1 mmHg for DBP respectively. The intermittent BP measurements using the proposed method were compared to the readings from FinapresRTM and nurse separately. The differences between proposed method and Nur. BP were 0.9+/-9.9 mmHg for SBP and -1.2+/-5.2 mmHg for DBP respectively. The differences between proposed method and Fin. BP were -0.1+/-12.6 mmHg for SBP and -1.4+/-5.9 mmHg for DBP respectively. The predictions using the proposed method were more consistent with the nurse readings. Furthermore, thorax impedance signal was proposed for cuffless BP estimation and it was examined on twenty-two subjects. The results illustrated that proposed parameters, measured from Q wave of electrocardiogram to the peaks of thorax impedance signal and its derivative, were highly correlated with BP. They were potential parameters to provide non-invasive and cuffless BP estimation. / To conclude, the accuracy of proposed method was comparable to the cuff-based approaches under resting and exercise conditions. This work is potential to solve the problems due to prevalence of CVD and rising aging population. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / Wong, Yee Man. / Adviser: Y. T.
