Now that light weight deflectometers are being increasingly used in the construction industry; manufacturers are looking for bigger and better ways to incorporate new technology in its use. Light...

For highways, pavements, and compacted soil to perform as they should in the long term, its surface, soil, and aggregate layers must provide a stable foundation. Prior inspections should be conducted...

A light weight deflectometer is a testing and measuring device specifically designed to determine the soil bearing capacity, and compaction quality of ground materials. They can be pavement surfaces...

Different types of methods and equipment are used to test soil, and experts have varying opinions on which one is more reliable and more accurate in producing results. Standard testing methods still...

Falling weight deflectometers are traditional devices used to test and evaluate the physical attributes and properties of pavements and ground surfaces. The data that these types of devices generate...

The light falling weight deflectometer (otherwise referred to as dynamic plate load tester or light drop weight tester) is a portable device originally developed in Germany, used to measure soil...

Light weight and falling weight deflectometers are closely related devices in that light weight deflectometers use the same principles as falling weight devices to evaluate the physical properties and...

Light falling weight deflectometers are required to follow international regulations and mandatory standards for measuring deflections and evaluating soil compaction quality of different types of...

A light weight deflectometer is a specialized device that is used for measuring the degree of compaction, the bearing capacity (deflection), and the in-situ and lab dynamic CBR of different pavement...

An FWD or falling weight deflectometer is a highly useful type of testing device that helps civil engineers evaluate the physical properties of ground surfaces or pavements. The data that this device...

Bluetooth technology has made it easier to transfer data wirelessly from one device to another. German manufacturers of light weight deflectometers realized this advantage and incorporated the...

The use of light weight deflectometers for construction design and quality control, material investigation, and evaluation of earthworks, road construction, and similar types of projects is...

Light weight deflectometer devices make it easier to determine the compaction quality and soil bearing capacity of ground materials, pavements, and non-cohesive subbases. They allow for uncomplicated...

Light weight deflectometers are gaining more widespread acceptance as a soil compaction testing device for various types of earthworks, engineering, design, and construction projects. Designed for...

The standard test method for measuring deflections using a light weight deflectometer or LWD determines surface deflection as a result of impulse load application. This is quantified by assessing the...
