LIGHT WEIGHT DEFLECTOMETER
- Fast and cost-saving: maximum of 2 minutes per measuring point
- No vehicle required
- Immediate on-site evaluation of test results
- It can be easily operated and carried by one person only
- Testing can be achieved in difficult to reach locations
The dynamic plate load test performed with the Lightweight deflectometer is used to determine the soil bearing capacity and compaction quality of soils and non-cohesive subbases, as well as for soil improvement applications.
Built-in soil layers can easily be tested without load abutment, facilitating quick assessments of test lots even under limited space conditions.
The test method is suited to coarse-grain and mixed grain soils with a maximum grain size of 63mm and can be used to determine the dynamic modulus of deformation of soil in the range Evd = 15 to 70 MN/m².
Applications
– Road and railway construction, earthmoving
– Quality assurance in canal construction
– Compaction monitoring in pipe trenches and cable ducts
– Testing of pavement bedding
– Testing of foundation backfill
– Quality inspection in boreholes
– Testing of modulus of deformation in line with soil exploration
