It is hard to imagine road construction sites in Germany without the use of Light Weight Deflectometers. Every
day thousands of civil engineering companies count on the advantages of this handy and precise “Do It Yourself
Compaction Test“. Within two minutes you can determine the quality of compaction, even in areas that are dif-
ficult to access, like utility trenches and backfills. Thus, the site manager can take quick decisions, in order to
conduct compaction work cost-effectively and profitably, while ensuring top construction quality.
Quotation from ASTM E2835-11:
“Deflections may be either correlated directly to pavement performance or used to determine in-situ material
characteristics of the pavement foundation layers. Some uses of the data include quality control and quality assu-
rance of compacted layers, and for structural
evaluation of load carrying capacity.“
Provide evidence of compact-
ion quickly and efficently.
Count on the cost-effective
testing method with the
Light Weight Deflectometer
TERRATEST 3000 GPS. Correct handling
of TERRATEST 3000 GPS is easy to learn!

TERRATEST 3000 GPS is produced in highly
modern CNC-based production centers –
in Germany, of course. Its material and the
high-quality manufacture make the device
largely resistant against environmental
impact on the construction site.
Made in Germany
As an expert for Light Weight Deflectometers TERRATEST develops and designs innovative soil testing devices
based on the needs of our customers – such as capacity, efficiency and suitablity for construction sites. TERRA-
TEST offers a complete and extensive product range for compaction tests with the Light Weight Deflectometer.
The Light Weight Deflectometer TERRATEST 3000 GPS has proved its worth worldwide more than 1000 times over
many years. It is currently in use on all continents of the earth. Thanks to the high quality standards of our
devices, their extensive equipment and excellent manufacture, we enjoy
a high level of recognition among our customers. If with the German
Army in Afghanistan, during urban construction in Berlin or while buil-
ding the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway – wherever earth-
works, road construction or civil engineering are at stake, the great
qual i ty of the sturdy and precise test ing instruments f rom
TERRATEST is highly appreciated.
Made in GermanyHigh-quality manufacture – In-house development
TERRATEST calibrates Light Weight Deflectometers with the calibration
system “CS 01“, developed and constructed by TERRATEST and accredited
by the German Federal Road Research Institute (BASt). That means short
reaction times between production, calibration, service and dispatch.
“For more than 15 years I have been working with
Light Weight Deflectometers. All my know-how
manifests itself in TERRATEST 3000 GPS,
a sophisticated concept suitable for daily use
on construction sites“, Frank G. Schulz,
general manager of TERRATEST GmbH, Berlin.

The operation of TERRATEST 3000 GPS is intuitive and extremely user-friendly. During development and con-
struction we paid attention to faulty measurements and made them practically impossible through an internal
plausibilty check. This ensures that one can perform precise tests and easily operate the device in a professional
manner. The well-arranged control panel of the electronic system makes testing on construction sites with TER-
RATEST 3000 GPS effective, quick und inexpensive.
Intuitive Menu Guidancefor quick, uncomplicated compaction tests

When switching on the device,
TERRATEST 3000 GPS automati-
cally checks the sensor con-
nection, battery charge as well
as proper functioning of GPS
and chip card and shows their
status on the display.
By pressing the start button
again, one is automatically
directed to the measuring menu
and will be asked to start with a
first pre-load.
After each measurement, the
display shows the settlement in
mm as well as the correspon-
ding settlement curve.
After the third measurement
Evd-value (dynamic deflection
module) as well as s/v value
(relation between settlement
and settlement speed) will be
displayed.
The sequence of the measuring process below shows the user-
friendly execution of the test, which can be printed
immediately on the construction site, thanks to the integrated
mini-printer. At the same time the measured data is saved on a
chip card for later management on your PC. Like that, you can trans-
fer all data to your PC in no time and start the evaluation
process.
All tests are saved automatically on a chip card, simply
insert the card and the data can be transferred to the PC
immediately. And so that the card doesn’t get lost on the
construction site, we have willfully chosen a chip card in the
size of a credit card.
12
To be able to document testing results directly at the construction site, the integrated mini-printer allows you to
print the measured data immediately and on the spot. Additionally to the Evd-value, the three settlement curves,
the maximum settlements with the settlement speed as well as the GPS coordinates will be shown. Later, every
test can be printed as an A4-sized record from your PC.
For saving important additional information regarding
the construction site, like altitude or type of soil, the
device is also equipped with a text input function.
Thanks to this text input function, handwritten notes
and sketches belong to the past.

Well-arranged front plate, intuitive
menu guidance:
it is impossible to make the operation
of the Light Weight Deflectometer
easier.
The protocol print-out shows GPS
coordinates, end result, settlement
curves as well as the three individual
settlements.
While testing, the TERRATEST-GPS-System determines and saves the coordinates of the particular testing
point (when GPS is turned on). At the touch of a button the measurement can later be shown on your PC in a
Google® Earth satellite picture with the measured value, date and time. The GPS coordinates will automatically
be converted in Gauss-Krüger coordinates, so that measurements can also be directly uploaded to CAD-plans.
Thus, individual tests can be accurately allocated to particular locations.
The analysis of the testing results can easily be performed with the TERRATEST software. You can create indi-
vidual data records as well as a statistical analysis of the entire testing area as specified in ASTM E2835-11.
In this way all, testing results are analyzed
and archived automatically and necessary self-
monitoring is achieved.
Any commercial use of Google® Earth involves
costs. However, since our software is already
linked to Google® Earth, there is no need to in-
stall Google® Earth on your PC. TERRATEST
has concluded a contract of use with Google®,
therefore you don’t need to pay the fees for
commercial use of Google® Earth.

“.... 4.5.2 Requirements for deflection modulusThe requirements provided below are based on the 10% minimum quantile. When constructingroads cor responding to Construction Classes SV or I to IV on frost-free subsoil or substructure, itis necessary to obtain a deflection modulus of at least Ev2 = 120 MN/m2 or alternatively Evd = 65 MN/m2
for Construction Classes V and VI a deflection modulus of at least Ev2 = 100 MN/m2 or Evd = 50 MN/m2. Thedeflection modulus Ev2 is to be verified through the static plate load test as defined in DIN 18134and the deflection modulus Evd through the dynamic plate load test as defined in TP BF-StB Part B 8.3.“

Static and dynamic plate load tests differ from
each other especially in the load speed and the
pressure exerted on the ground. Therefore,
there is no constant correlation between the
parameters obtained through the static test and
the Evd-value. In order to obtain a relatively
precise correlation, we suggest to perform a
specific correlation test for each site.
To determine correlation values for the required
backfill material, we advise you to follow
the procedure below:
After the first phase of compaction work has
been completed, perform a static plate load
test. Make sure that the loading vehicle leaves
the area very carefully to avoid any ground
disturbances. Afterwards, determine the water
content of the backfill materials.
Then, in a circle around this first testing point, carry out eight dynamic plate load tests, four 30cm and four 60cm
away from the first testing point, each with a 45 degree distance to the next.
The entire procedure must be repeated at other points of the test area. The number of required test
sequences, to be performed in succession along the compaction line, depends on the size of the
construction site. However, you must perform at least three test sequences at a distance of 20 meters from
each other. If the water content at the different test points does not vary widely, compare the mean values of the
measured Evd values with the mean values of the parameters obtained through the static test. Ignore the
highest and lowest test results for the calculation of the mean Evd value. Consider only the four
results which show parameters close to each other.
After having determined the correlation values in this way, you can perform all other tests with the Light Weight
Deflectometer, as long as the foundation soil remains the same. The correlation procedure should be performed
by contractor and client, so that they can collectively agree on using the Light Weight Deflectometer as their
standard test method.

During the entire testing procedure,the electronics remain connetedand attached to CARRELLO.
“CARRELLO“ was designed for comfortable testing on the construction site. An
application has been filed to register its design as an EU Community design.
The apparatus enables easy handling of your TERRATEST 3000 GPS without
having to carry it across the construction site. To do so, the complete
mechanism is hooked up under the angled handles of the load plate
and hauled across the construction site. The guide rod of the loading device is
locked and fixed.
The measurement electronics remain connected to
the load plate during the entire testing process and
can be operated conveniently at waist level. Like
that, your TERRATEST 3000 GPS remains constantly
ready to use. For testing, the load plate will simply
be placed on the ground without having to lift, carry
and rewire the device for each test. After testing,
the mechanism is hooked up under the angled
handles of the load plate again and hauled comfortably
to the next testing point. In this way, the Light
Weight Deflectometer becomes a real light Weight
Deflectometer. Its handling will be easy and
comfortable, even across long distances.
