Abstract
Laboratory experiments, such as cyclic triaxial tests, are generally conducted to evaluate the dynamic behavior of soil for earthquake-proof design. The disturbance and stress release of soil specimens caused by sampling considerably affect the testing results. To avoid sampling disturbance effect, the authors attempted to measure the dynamic soil properties under cyclic loading by directly implementing an in situ pressuremeter test in the borehole. In the feasibility test on loose sand, it was confirmed that cyclic loading was achieved in situ successfully. Besides, in the tests on medium dense sand, hardening behaviors of surrounding soil were observed.
