FAQs of DETERMINATION OF MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION (K-VALUE) OF SOILS IN FIELD:

Q: How is the modulus of subgrade reaction (K-Value) determined using this field equipment?

A: The equipment uses the plate load method, where a 300 mm diameter mild steel plate is loaded on the soil, and the resulting deflection is measured with a high-resolution dial gauge. The ratio of applied pressure (recorded manually) to plate settlement provides the K-value, essential for evaluating soil bearing capacity.

Q: What accessories are included with the K-value soil testing equipment?

A: The system comes equipped with a hydraulic jack, calibrated pressure and dial gauges, a mild steel loading plate, ball and socket arrangements, extension rods, and a calibration certificate. Each accessory is designed to support accurate on-site testing as per IS: 9214 standards.

Q: When and where is this equipment ideally used?

A: It is best suited for geotechnical fieldwork during soil investigation phases of construction projects. Engineered for outdoor use in moderate climates (0C to 50C), it can be transported to and operated efficiently at any project site, even remote locations.

Q: What is the process for conducting a K-value test in the field?

A: Install the 300 mm loading plate on the prepared soil surface, connect the hydraulic jack and dial gauge, and apply a controlled load using manual or optional motorized operation at the prescribed speed. Record deflections and corresponding pressures to calculate the modulus of subgrade reaction.

Q: How does the equipment benefit soil testing professionals?

A: With its sturdy construction, reliable accuracy (1% of reading), and portable design, the kit simplifies the assessment of subgrade support values. This ensures that engineers receive actionable data for structural design, contributing to safer and more economical foundations.

Q: Can the equipment be transported and operated without electric power?

A: Yes, the entire system is field-portable, fits into a vehicle boot, and functions fully with manual operation. It also offers optional 230 V AC operation for enhanced convenience, making it ideal for field conditions where power may not be readily available.

Q: What service and compliance assurances are provided?

A: Each unit comes with a calibration certificate, and service support is available upon request. The system fully complies with IS: 9214 standard, ensuring that test results meet national regulatory requirements for soil investigation and infrastructure development.
