The dynamic load plate test with the Light Falling Weight Device (LFWD) is an innovative field test to determine the dynamic deformation modulus of soils and fill materials in earth works and ground engineering. It is suitable to test compaction and to evaluate the bearing capacity of unbound fill materials in earth works.
The paper presents theoretical and practical research results regarding the Light Falling Weight Device as well as its practical application.
