ECM-LDD 100

LIGHT DYNAMIC PLATE LDD 100, which is known also as Light falling weight deflectometer, is designed for a fast immediate checking of the dynamic parameters of compacted soil construction layers using so called Dynamic Plate Load Bearing Test. By this test, the 10 kg rammer is dropped from a height cca 1m on the bearing plate, which causes deflection of the under-laying soil material. This deflection is measured to provide the dynamic bearing power of the checked-up foundation (dynamic modulus of elasticity). Significant speeding up of field tests, saving of time and costs, wide range of application from small intro villain earthworks to road, air-field, industry and dam constructions.
