Notes:
Conclusions 1. The use of heavy slurries makes it possible to substantially increase the depth of pressure meter investigations and to perform them in soils with hard inclusions. 2. When the HCIES method is used for extracting monlithic specimens, it is not necessary to drill special geotechnical holes. The field and laboratory investigations are carried out for the same soils, and since it is no longer necessary to perform several laborconsuming operations, the labor productivity increases by a factor of 1.5–2. 3. After completing the test, the working liquid from the water supply main and the probe is expelled by the heavy slurry; it is no longer necessary to use special devices for removing the water, and the probe shells are protected.
