Types of Flat Dilatometers
Standard flat dilatometer: This is the most commonly used type, featuring a thin, flat blade that is pressed into the soil.
Electrical flat dilatometer: This version uses electronic sensors to provide enhanced accuracy and quick data recording.
Robust flat dilatometer: Designed for use in soft and weak soils, it features a reinforced structure to withstand high deformation.
Portable flat dilatometer: This lightweight version allows for field testing in remote locations, ensuring flexibility in data acquisition.
Benefits of The Dilatometer Test
• Accurately measures the constrained deformation modulus of soil
• Accurately predicts settlement
• Knifes into the soil causing much less volumetric and shear strain to the soil than conical probes such as CPT or SPT
• Correlates well with the soil stress history
• Marchetti (1980) and Lutenegger (2006) undrained shear strength predictions of cohesive soil compare quite favorably with other measurements worldwide
• Schmertmann’s elastic half-space theoretic calculation using the thrust measurement accurately predicts the drained plane strain angle of internal friction for cohesionless soil
• Before and after measurements show how well ground improvement methods work
• True-interval seismic tests accurately and repeatedly measure the compression above water table and shear wave velocities
• Pore pressure dissipation tests in cohesive soil below water table measure time rate of consolidation
