ln this article, LNEC's experience related to the characterization of the deformability of rock masses is presented, special emphasis is made to the in situ characterization techniques usually used. The Japanese experience with plate loading tests is also reported. An analysis is made on deformability tests carried out for the foundation of a rockfill dam, Japan.
