Resumen

Este artículo describe el equipo de ensayo del dilatómetro plano DMT e importantes aplicaciones en Ingeniería Geotécnica. El ensayo DMT es cada vez más usado alrededor del mundo debido a que el equipo y método de ensayo son confiables, adaptables y robustos. Comparado con ensayos convencionales, el DMT ha probado ser de más bajo costo, menor tiempo de ejecución y mejor repetibilidad. El SDMT es un DMT con sensores sísmicos incorporados para medir la velocidad de ondas de corte Vs. Tanto el DMT como el SDMT pueden resultar particularmente útiles en proyectos donde la rigidez del suelo y las predicciones de asentamientos resultan críticas para un diseño adecuado. Además se discuten aplicaciones para detectar superficies de deslizamientos en taludes de arcilla, determinar curvas P-y de pilotes cargados lateralmente, controlar el mejoramiento de suelos y compactación, evaluar el potencial de licuación y determinar el módulo de Young secante para modelaciones numéricas.
