Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

Committee CEN/TC 341, Geotechnical investigation and testing, in collaboration with ISO Technical
Committee ISO/TC 182, Geotechnics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22476-8:2018(E)
Geotechnical investigation and testing — Field testing —
Part 8:
Full displacement pressuremeter test
1 Scope
This document specifies the equipment requirements, execution of and reporting on full displacement
pressuremeter (FDP) tests.
NOTE This document fulfils the requirements for full displacement pressurementer test as part of the
geotechnical investigation services according to EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
Tests with the full displacement pressuremeter cover the measurement in situ of the deformation of
soils and weak rocks by the expansion/contraction of a cylindrical flexible membrane under pressure.

full displacement pressuremeter
FDP
assembly containing a pressuremeter module (3.1.2) and a cone module (3.1.3)
Note 1 to entry: The FDP is jacked or driven directly into undisturbed ground with an integral cone at its lower
end thereby creating its own test hole. No preparation of the cavity is permitted either by pre-boring, pre-
pushing or any other means.

Note 2 to entry: The applied pressure and associated expansion of the probe are measured and recorded so as to
obtain the stress-displacement relationship for the soil as tested (see Figure 1).
