Dynatest Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) Model 3031 is a portable dynamic plate loading device
designed for compaction quality assurance (QA) and determination of the modulus of unbound or
partially bound material including thin asphalt layers, unbound granular aggregate base, partially
stabilized base layers, subgrade soil and etc. The LWD is suitable for testing in difficult to access
areas, e.g. trenches, narrow channels, etc.
Dynatest LWD is designed to determine the surface modulus (often termed stiffness)a response
of the underlying structure, in terms of a transient deflection, to the dynamic stress applied through a
circular bearing plate. Dynatest LWD is also capable of determination of the layer modulus using the
Dual Plate System (DPS) and additional geophones.
Dual plate system (DPS) for quick and easy switching between the
11.8 in (300 mm) and 5.9 in (150 mm) loading plate diameter
Italy: UNI11531-1
Dust and splash proof (IP56) electronics for safe outdoor use
Lightweight with total basic configuration weight of 48.5 lb (22 kg)
Optional items:
Two external geophones
Transportation trolley for easy hauling of the LWD along the test site
Real time GPS
SOFTWARE FEATURES
The Dynatest software package LWDmod offers advanced
features for data organization, analysis and reporting:
Imports data into a project database, allowing
organization of multiple files into one database
Graphical features to view test results, and to eliminate
selected drops or points from the file
Editing features for imported data (preserves original
raw data)
Automated selection of drops to be used in the
analysis and back-calculation
Back-calculation of layer moduli for multi-layer
systems, using the results of multiple tests with
dual plate system (DPS) and data from additional
geophones
Calculation of subgrade non-linearity
Calculation of needed overlay thickness, based on
design surface moduli
Analysis of load/deflection time histories
Graphical presentation of all analysis results
Capability to export result tables and graphics for
reporting
Output in Highways England LWD format
