Dynamic plate load test

Light weight deflectometer plate is used to control the soil compaction. The test involves dynamic loading of the plate. Appropriate subsoil deformation measurements are carried out after three load tests. Sufficient compaction of the tested subsoil can be determined immediately after the measurement.

The subsurface layers of the subsoil to a thickness of about 0,5 m can be examined by this type of dynamic plate. Deeper layers are controlled by placing plate in trial pits. The equipment is very useful when compaction of embedded layers of soil (under floors, foundations, motorways and expressways) is needed to be determined.
