This includes sands, silts and clays where the grains are small compared to the membrane diameter (60 mm). It is not suitable for gravels. However, the blade is robust enough to cross gravel layers of about 0.5 m thickness.<\/p><p>The dilatometer blade may be advanced into the ground by pushing with a cone penetrometer or with a drill rig. The DMT can also be driven, e.g. using the SPT hammer or sliding hammer, but statical push is the preferred method. Pushing the blade with a 20 ton penetrometer truck is the most effective method and yields the highest productivity (up to 80 m of soundings per day). Very light drill rigs, due to limited pushing capacity circa 2 tons, may be restricted to use in very soft soils or to very short depths. However, they are sometimes necessary in soils containing occasional boulders of hard layers, in order to drill past these obstacles. When DMT soundings are carried out after pre-boring, the initial test results obtained in the zone of disturbance at hole bottom (3-5 borehole diameters) must be treated with caution.<\/p><p>Methods of inserting the DMT blade are shown in the diagram below:-<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalgeotech.co.uk\/editorimages\/images\/DMT%20insertion%20methods.jpg\" alt=\"DMT insertion methods\" \/><br \/>While in principle, many kinds of rod can be used to push or drive the DMT blade, most commonly CPT rods or rotary drill rods are used. The rods must be hollow to allow the electrical-pneumatic cable to pass through the middle. An adaptor is needed to the blade at the lower end, and a special slotted adaptor at the top end to allow the cable to exit the drill string.<\/p><p>Further information on the DMT can be downloaded by clicking on the link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgeotech.co.uk\/editorimages\/files\/tc16_dmt2001-1.pdf\">The Flat Dilatometer Test in Soil Investigations<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flat Dilatometer Test (DMT) DMT determines in a quick, precise, simple and economical way various important parameters used in geotechnical design.
