This operating manual defines qualified personnel as someone who passed a specific training, possesses knowledge and experience and who is also familiar with the relevant regulations that enables the person ...
  • Page 7: Proper Use

    Proper Use The Light Weight Deflectometer LWD WEBERconnect was developed in accordince to the German test regulation TP BF-StB Part B 8.3 as well as the American standard ASTM E2835-11, to test the soil bearing capacity and the achieved degree of soil compaction in the area of soil construction, traffic route engineering or railway construction by means of a dynamic plate pressure test.
  • Page 8: Warnings

    Warnings In this manual, all warnings are particularly highlighted compared to the remaining text. The warnings are marked in colours and introduced by a signal word that indicates the degree of danger. An icon specifies the kind of danger. All warnings have to be followed strictly to carry out an accident-free work and to avoid injuries and damages.

The handheld can be connected with any ground sensor / load plate of a LWD WEBERconnect device.
  • Page 19: Function

    Function When carrying out a dynamic load plate test with the Light Weight Deflectometer LWD WEBERconnect the load plate will be charged impulsively with a light falling weight by using a defined force. The acceleration, deflection (s) and speed (v) of the load plate depends on the ground that has to be tested.

    Execution of test Prerequisite:  The test zone has to carry the entire load plate  Weather related loose material on the test zone has to be removed  Cavities in the test zone have to be filled with fine-grained sand Execution 1.
  • Page 29 CAUTION Danger of injury The falling weight can cause injuries or damages on the measurement equipment. The handle always must be used to catch the weight. Do not reach into the equip- ment at any time when the weight is falling down. All preload and measurement impulses will be applied as described above.
  • Page 30: Evaluation By Handheld

    6 Evaluation by Handheld Interpretation of resuluts After completing a test the result is displayed below the upper table including correspond- ing test impulses. The Ev value in MN/m² informs about the load bearing capacity and the compaction of the tested ground. At the same time the ratio s/v (deflection/speed) is dis- played without unit.
  • Page 31: Data Transfer To Pc-Software

    7 Data transfer to PC-Software For storage and documentation the data records of the different tests can be transferred into the PC software. The data records are stored on the SD card and can be transmitted to the computer. The data records from the internal memory of the handheld have to be copied to the SD card first (refer to “Settings Measurement”).
  • Page 32: Transport

    8 Transport General Information CAUTION Danger of Injuries The falling weight can move uncontrolled without transport lock.
