Traditionally, design and analysis parameters for stiff clays are               selected more on the basis of educated guesswork and past experience            than from direct test results.  This is particularly true for values of         modulus and coefficients of lateral earth pressure.  In an attempt to           reduce the subjectivity in the parameter definition process, there is a         growing trend to use one or other forms of pressuremeter in                     characterizing stiff clays.  This research is a multi-phased effort             involving field, laboratory, and analytical approaches designed to              provide insight into pressuremeter testing of stiff clays.  A near              ideal stiff clay medium has been located in Richmond, VA, for testing,          and preliminary laboratory work has been performed.  The results of the         research should enhance the understanding of stiff clay response to             pressuremeter loading and help define the proper techniques for                 pressuremeter testing in stiff clays.
