Flat dilatometer (DMT). Applications and recent developments

Silvano Marchetti, Diego Marchetti, Paola Monaco

Abstract

Since the original basic paper on the flat dilatometer (Marchetti 1980) a large number of papers, including manuals and standards, have been published. Aims of this paper are: (a) to briefly describe this in situ test; (b) to summarize the essential related content available in the literature; (c) to give an overview of its main applications; (d) to give information on the most recent developments, thereby permitting the unfamiliar reader to gain in a short time a basic knowledge of the DMT.
