What do you think about the values of pressuremeters for piles foundation? Are very overestimated in deep clays, concretely in marls in comparation with laboratory tests? I have any problems with the values when I apply these in the COAM formulation and the pressuremeters formulation.
Could anybody help me with a real case in construction or any article where I see the contrast?

Thank you very much
