Modelling_of_Dynamic_Load_Plate_Test_with_ZFG_2000.pdf
Mechanical modelling of the dynamic load plate test with the Light Falling Weight Device (LFWD) is presented. The LFWD is employed on construction sites to verify the compaction degree of soil layers and to evaluate their bearing capacity. The mechanical models...
