50 Conclusions for MPM Ménard pressuremeter tests can be performed in all soils and soft rocks It provides for a deformation as well as for a failure parameters These parameters, used with simple rules, charts or softwares (for t-z or p-y approaches) can solve most of the current problems of shallow and deep foundations This vision is fully compatible with Eurocode 7... The rest is a matter of engineering judgement! R Frank, Design of foundations in France with the use MPM tests, RSSMGFE Seminar, Moscow, 15 April
