Light Weight Deflectometer
Measuring Dynamic Modulus and CBR on-site Immediately
Robin Power
The Light Weight Deflectometer can be used for measuring the bearing capacity (deflection) and insitu CBR of subgrade/subsoils and unbound granular base layers, granular layers and backfilling materials. Robin’s talk will cover the following topics;
- What is the Light Weight Deflectometer
- What does it do?
- Where did the Light Weight Deflectometer come from?
- What does it simulate?
- What results do you get? Explanation of results graphs. Range limitations.
- How is it part of an integrated compaction control system
- Relationship with other devices
- What is the CBR Extension?
- What is the relationship between the Dynamic Modulus and CBR?
- What results do you get? Explanation of results graphs. Range limitations.
- What are the influences on the results?
- How do you calibrate the equipment?
- Technical standards
- How is the device used?
- Advantages and limitations
