  1. A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO SOIL EXTENSOMETER Soil testing equipment is used to measure tangential deformation or any kind of bend in the soil as well as rocks. Soil extensometer is particularly referred to find out the embankment dams and mining excavations. A streamline consecutive displacement and anchor beams are used to provide a permanent profile of movement. The equipment used to measure any kind of deformation in rocks or soil is known as Extensometer. This device is used to measure movements of soil and rock along a single axis. Thus, in short, we can say that you can use extensometer for measuring any kind of soil compression, density, or bend at any place. Thus, you must have seen the settlement of soil or rock in tunnels, ray beam foundations, and at ground movement inside the boreholes. Thus, we can say this is considered as vibrating equipment which is used by the engineers or professionals who work in construction companies or by the researchers. Applications of soil extensometer: No doubt there are numerous benefits of soil extensometer. Thus, this latest technique is used to control the certain issues which take place due to deformation of soil. Therefore, if you want to attain proper knowledge about the equipment or want to use it personally then can easily contact to PCTE. We provide you with the information related to working as well as its operation. Thus, if you want to know the soil quality in the construction area or want to collect a soil sample, they can make use of this soil extensometer. •It is used in case of soil excavations, groundwork, and embankments. •Construction companies use these kinds of instruments to find out the subsidence while digging or above mine as well as tunnels. •It is used by the Geotechnical researchers. Through this, they evaluate the movement of walls, rock slides and abutments. •Used to find out if there is any kind of compression or abutment of soil in all around the areas of wall and surcharges •Used to control if there is any kind of solidity of piles or if there is any soil under piles •Measuring if there is the huge rate of embankment spread or not •The soil extensometer is also used to evaluate or monitor the fact of convergence. This can take place in underground areas of openings, for example, tunnels. https://www.pcte.com.au/ PCTE | VIC,3042,Australia |(03) 9938 3830| r.barnes@pcte.com.au
