Pressuremeter has been developed considerably since its first introduction by Menard in 1955 to measure tensile strength of rocks (Silva et al., 2016) [38]. Since then, several different types of pressuremeters have been developed such as preboring pressuremeter (pBPTM), the seltboring pressuremeter...
