> <Vibrating Wire Pressure Cells measure total stresses in soils and is a combination of effective stress and pore-water pressures. They are normally used to validate design assumptions and to give adequate warning of soil pressures in excess of those designed to be exerted by a structure.
The Vibrating Wire Pressure Cell is used to measure total pressure, particularly in earth or rockfill structures.
The cells are normally used to validate design assumptions and to give adequate warning of soil pressures in excess of those which a structure is designed to withstand.
