Function
The load plate is placed on the prepared area to be tested and the loading
mechanism is positioned on the load plate. Thereafter the connection is made
to the settlement measuring instrument. When the drop-weight is released and
drops freely onto the resilient element, the loading mechanism generates a
defined impulsive load. Thereby the total settlement of the soil under the load
plate is measured.
After the measuring routine is started (after the precompaction) three
measuring impacts are to be performed. After each impact, the measuring
instrument displays the settlement in millimetres and the settlement curve.
Upon completion of a series of measurement the individual settlement
amplitudes, the average settlement s
m
, the path-speed-ratio s/v and the
calculated deformation modulus E
vd
are displayed on the screen.
Results may be printed via a thermal printer or a printer at the PC, if required
(only instruments with thermal printer or PC-software).
