- Abstract:
- The seismic dilatometer (SDMT) is the combination of the standard flat dilatometer (DMT) with a seismic module for measuring the shear wave velocity VS, a basic input parameter for site seismic response analyses. This paper presents an overview of the SDMT equipment, test procedure and interpretation, as well as examples of SDMT results and related comments.
