• DMT - Dilatometer Test (Field Test)

    The DilatoMetric Test (DMT) is performed by using a dilatometric, which operates on the principle of verification of values by using the displacements of the inductive sensors (with a sensitivity of up to 0.001 mm). The advantage of these tests is a more accurate description of the displacement and deformation of foundation soil.


    The results of the dilatometric test (DMT) are imported into the program by inserting the file in format UNI (*.uni). It is a standardized and universal format for import of the measured data obtained from dilatometric tests, which is used in the world.

     

    The name of the test and the depth of the first point of the DMT is entered in the "New field test" dialog window. In the "Stratigraphy" program, the input of coordinations xyz is required.

    The constrained soil modulus MDMT is entered in the table.
