Soil survey
This is from a series of soil surveys carried out for a power plant construction site.
Les caractéristiques mécaniques mesurées au moyen d'essais au pressiomètre (Norme NF P 94-110) s'avèrent:
- Extrêmement hétérogènes dans les remblais avec un module pressiométrique (Em) compris entre 2,4 et 100 MPa, et une pression limite effective (PI*) comprise entre 0,19 et 6,0 MPa.
Googling suggests that it might be some sort of Young's modulus but is there a specific term for this in English?
Many thanks

pressuremeter modulus
The standard refers to the Ménard pressuremeter test. The Ménard pressuremeter is indeed used largely - but not exclusively - in France. It seems to be more popular in the US than in the UK.
You'll find "pressuremeter modulus" on the Web in association with Ménard.

pressiometric method
This article suggest that it uses a flexible pipe as a pressiometric probe.

Other googles suggest that it is called the pressiometric method and used almost exclusively in France (according to one article I couldn't access).
