Static Analysis of Gelatin-like Simulation Mass as a Subsoil in Scale Physical Modeling by Veronika Valašková, Jozef Vlček

“…A plate load test with a circular plate is a non-destructive method for determining the static bearing capacities of soils and aggregates, which are usually expressed by the deformation modulus <i>E_def,2</i> (MPa) and the static modulus of elasticity <i>E</i> (MPa). A lightweight deflectometer test was used to characterize the impact modulus of deformation <i>E_vd</i> (MPa), which is determined based on the pressure under the load plate due to the impact load. …”
