I.lntcnded purpose

The dynamic plate load test with the help of the ZFG 3000 light drop weight tester is a rapidmethod of determining the dynamic deflection modulus E~j [[MNIm9. This allowsconclusions to be made about the load-bearing capacity and compaction of soils.In accordance with German regulations TP BF-Stb Part 88.3, the procedure can be used onmixed-grained and course-grained soils up to a grain size of maximum 63 mm, loose basecourses, backfill material and for soil improvement. It is used in earth works and roadconstruction, and is well suited for in-house self-control and accurately documenting resultsand preparing reports.

The light drop weight tester can alternatively be used as a static plate load device inaccordance with DIN 18 134, and has the following benefits:- no necessity for a loaded truck as a required counterbalance in the static plate bearing test or

the tripod required for settlement measurement- testing facilities in restricted space, for example during rail track construction, trench

backtilling, for general backfill, in boreholes or other locations with difficult access- low space requirements and low test equipment weight- low time requirements for testing - around 3 minutes for each measuring point

2. PreparatiOn for measurement

To carry out a measurement, place the loading plate firmly and horizontally on the preparedtest area by pushing down and turning. If unevenness is present, compensate for this using drymedium-grain sand which, however, may only fill up any voids under the loading plate. Thesettlement gauge and the loading plate are each fitted with a socket, into which the measuringcable is plugged to connect the devices. Now place the loading device on the loading plateRemove the transport safety device from the drop weight.

it is imperative that the transport safefr device is correcdy engaged to prevent damage

The test area must be pre-loaded with 3 drops. To do this, raise the drop weight and engagethe release mechanism. Once you have aligned the guide rod vertically the drop weight shouldbe released, then raised again using the catch handle after the rebound, and engaged in therelease mechanism once again.

• arryin2 out a measurement.

3.1 Switching the device on

Once pre-loading has been carried out, the settlement gauge should be switched on using the<On/Off> switch. To prevent unintentional switching on of the device, the On/0ff’ buttonmust be pressed for at least two seconds when switching on.

The current date/time and battery status are displayed. If all data is to be saved to the SD card,please insert the SD card now.

3.2 GPS receiver function*

GPS = Global Position System; used for position-fixingThe OPS module installed as standard receives satellite signals in the open air. Reception is

only available to a limited extent under coverings and in enclosed rooms. The satellite si ‘nalare received by the GPS module to fix the current position. Depending on the satellite si ii.i Istrength, the device requires between 30 and 120 seconds to display the location coordinal’on its display. The location coordinates are now displayed in place of the name ZornInstruments.If no satellite signals can be received (e.g. due to enclosed rooms) measurement and sa iii

can also be carried out without position-fixing.

3.3 Starting measurement:

To start the measurement, press the <OK> button and the following image appears on thedisplay:

Measure 300mrnf 10kgExecute 1st pulse

—1 —

A single acoustic beep acknowledges start of measurement.The test mode currently set is now displayed (e.g. loading plate size and mass of fall weight).It may be necessary to switch this over to the required test mode (see also 4.4 Settings).The second line displays a prompt to carry out the first pulse.Once the first pulse has taken place, the settlement value s is displayed.

Measure: 300mnVl 0kgExecute 2nd pulse

S~: 0.286 mm

The beep which follows prompts you to carry out the second pulse.This procedure is repeated up to the 3rd pulse

Measure: 300mnVl 0kgPress <OK>

s~: 0.285 mm52: 0.303 mm53: 0.312 mm

After this, all three settlement values are displayed and this is confirmed with a double beep.The following information is displayed if the GPS signal is missing: <waiting for GPS>All available data is saved after 10 seconds at the latest even if no GPS signal is available. Inthis case, the location coordinates will not be saved to the SD card. The “Press <OK “ promptis displayed in the second line and this then initiates calculation of the results.

3.4 Evaluating and printing the results

The following results are displayed:

52°35.14’ 11 °52.66No: 33 11.03.09 13:22Sm: 0.266 mmsI’s: 2.414E~: 84.59 MN!m2

• geographical coordinates• consecutive number (only if SD card is inserted), date and time• 5m = mean settlement in mm• s/v degree of compactibility, which gives information about whether (he existing

soil can be compacted further or not (in generalS s/v 3 5 soil compactable further; s/v> 3,5 soil NOT compactable more).

• ~ dynamic deflection modulus in MN m2 (MPa).

You must press the Mode button to see the location coordinates, settlement curves andindividual settlement values

4.8 Firmware update

Firmware can only be updated on the mmiii It rei~s suggestion.

5. Printer

The printer integrated in the device is a thermal printer. This only requires thennal paper forprinting.To change the thermal paper roll, open the printer compartment by pulling the accessdepression upwards.Take the empty thermal paper roll out and replace it with a full one. When replacing thethermal paper roll, please ensure that the lull thermal paper roll is inserted with the side to beunwound facing to the left and downwards! (Figure 5.1). When inserting, place the start ofthe roll top left above the printer tear-oil edge.

After this, close the printer compartment by pressing it down.

If the thermal printer does not print after the thermal paper roll hasbeen replaced, this has either been inserted incorrectly or it is not athermal paper roll.

6. Care and maintenance

6.1 Care of mechanical loading deviceThe mechanical loading device must be cleaned of any dirt adhering after use using a drycloth. The chrome-plated guide rod must not be greased. Heavy soiling must be removedusing spirit or kerosene. The drop weight tester must be carefully stored during transport, andthe fill height must be checked at regular intervals. The correct fall height is stated on thecalibration report and on the calibration nameplate on the fall weight.

6.2 BatteryCareful care of the battery ensures permanent readiness for use of the drop weight tester. TheNiMFI battery fitted should only be recharged from time to time using the power supplyprovided. The charging status can be seen on the charging bar in the display. The chargingprocess is normally complete after around four hours depending on the battery state. If thebattery has not been used for a long time it is important that it is recharged, so thatmeasurements on site do not need to be discontinued due to an empty battery.

6.3 Protection against total dischargeThe measuring device is fitted with total discharge protection for the battery. The battery isswitched off shortly before total discharge. After this, the settlement gauge can no longer beswitched on. If the battery charger is connected the battery will be charged and the device canbe used after around for hours.

7.7 Statistical evaluation

All the test results are displayed colleciively and are subject to a statistical evaluation in thestatistics view. Depending on the minimum quanule entered (Fig. 7.5), the arithmetical meanvalues of the random sample, Ihe standaid deviation, the variation coefficient and the qualitynumber are calculated. The test result is only produced after this.

• As a basic principle, all individual measurements are taken over into a project(statistics).We therefore recommend that you select the required individual measurements beforereading the data from the SD card (see Chapter 7.5). Select the required individualmeasurements (Fig. 7.8).

• Once individual measurements have been selected (see Chapter 7.4), the necessarydata must be incorporated. The test reports resulting are numbered and can be calledup using the data record marker (see Chapter 7.6). If additional/not all test reportsneed to be incorporated into the statistical evaluation, individual reports can be addedor deleted in advance. To do this, click the Edit button and then Add Datasets/DeleteDataset (Fig. 7.16).

• You can open the Options dialog window using the View button in Options. Youshould enter the required minimum quantile in the entry window under General(Fig. 7.5).

• To start acceptance of individual settlements in the statistics, click the Statistical viei~activated / deactivated button (top left) (Fig. 7.9).

• The test result is determined after this and is displayed in the lower section.• The statistics can be saved and printed out (see Chapter 7.6).

9. Instructions for engapin2 fall weight

When engaging the fall weight in the re euse mechanism, please use both thumbs as showii inthe sketch.

The fall weight is lifted up as far as possible with both hands until shortly underneath the limitstop so that it can be pressed into the stop using both thumbs as shown in the sketch. Use yourthumbs to lift the fall weight up slowly until it engages in the release mechanism.This avoids engaging the weight too harshly, which can lead to faulty measurements.

3.4.7.2 Requirements for deflection modulus

The information provided below is based on the 10% minimum quantile.When constructing roads of Construction Classes SV and Ito IV on frost-protected substrate or substructure, thefollowing deflection modulus of at least

E~ 120 MN/rn2 or alternatively E~d 65 MN mand for Construction Classes V and VI a deflection modulus of at least

E, 100 MN/rn2 or alternatively E~a 50 MN m2Ev2 = 100 MN/rn2 or alternatively Evd = 50 MN/m2is necessaryThe deflection modulus E~2 is to be verified in accordance with a static plate load test in accordancewith DIN 18134 and the deflection module E~d with a dynamic plate load test in accordance with TPBFPart B8.3.Once these requirements have been able to be fulfilled by compaction of the layers to be constructedabove the formation, it is sufficient to achieve a deflection modulus of at least

£ 2 100 MN m’ or alternatively E~ 50 MN m2andfor Constmction Classes V and Via deflection modzdus ofat least

£ 80 MN m2 or alternatively £ 40 MN m2in the case of Construction Classes SV and Ito IV through the use of separate verificationIn the case of frost-sensitive substrate or substructure, a deflection modulus of at least

E 45 MN m2 or alternatively E~d— 25 MN/rn2Ev2 = 100 MN/m2 or alternatively Evd 50 MN/n?is necessaryis required on the formation If the specifications do not speci~’ whether the static or dynamicdeflection modulus must be verified for cases stated in this section, verification should &ways takeplace using the static deflection modulusAs an altemafive, calibration of the dynamic deflection modulus on the static deflection modulus inaccordance vAth TPBF Part E4 can take place, and then the dynamic deflection modulus can be usedas a requirement.if the required deflection modulus cannot be achieved on the formation through compaction either(1) the substrate or substructure must be improved or consolidated or(2) the thickness of the loose base courses must be increasedThese measures must be stated in the specifications
