Static plate load test by using the HMP PDG

The Static Plate Load Test applies in earthworks and foundation engineering as well as road construction in order to determine load settlement lines and by this to evaluate the deformability and the load capacity of the soil. The static plate load test is indicated in DIN 18 134 and according to ASTM 1194,1195,1196, BS 1377. The modulus of deformation Ev is determined from the load settlement line of the first load (Ev1) and the second load (Ev2). Through the first loading a certain remaining deformation always obtains and therefore the proportion of the accordingly higher Ev2 value to the Ev1 value provides an indication to the attained compaction. Simply choose the device equipment, which applies best to you -- from manual up to comfortable automatic evaluation with graphic display, database function and printer. Because of the modular technique - the HMP PDG can be upgraded and modified fast and cost-saving.
