  • Page 27: Dynamic Plate Load Test

    4.3 Dynamic Plate Load Test The dynamic plate load test with the Light Weight Deflectometer is a test method during which the ground is subjected to an impact load. This impact load is caused by a weight dropping onto a load plate with a diameter of 30 cm (radius r = 15 cm), which generates a maximum force (F max ) of 7.070 kN.

  • Page 28: Calibration

    4.5 Calibration Before delivery ‘TERRATEST 4000 STREAM’ and ‘TERRATEST 6000 BLE’ are in standard calibrated accor- ding to German ‘Technical Test Code for Soil and Rock Mechanics in Road Constructions TP BF-StB Part B 8.4’. Calibration acc. to Austrian Test Specification RVS 08.03.04 is also available as an option. During calibration all components of the device, such as the load plate with integrated sensor, the loading device and the electronic testing computer, are attuned specifically to one another.

    German Federal Road Research Institute (Bundesanstalt für Straßenbau). Send the device back to TERRATEST GmbH for calibration at least once a year, otherwise test results may be imprecise. Test results of a device that has not been calibrated, or of a device with an expired calibration date, must not be used for evaluating the bearing capacity of soil and rock.
  • Page 30 For every static plate load test at least three dynamic tests must be performed. TERRATEST GmbH shall not be liable for any damage, consequential damage, or even financial loss that occurs as a result of improper use of the device and / or lack of professional knowledge when evaluating the test data.

  • Page 31: Determining The Residual Compaction

    4.9 Determining the Residual Compaction If three individual curves are shown on the protocol printout (see Figure 1) and if the Smax value of the individual settlements decreases significantly, re-compaction has occurred caused by the test; further compaction work is usually necessary. In this case we recommend improving the compaction at the same place by performing 15 more impact drops with the Light Weight Deflectometer.
