FIELD: civil engineering. SUBSTANCE: dynamic densimeter has a conical end piece, weight, anvil, guide and handle, the handle is made as a die, whose diameter exceeds the diameter of the conical end piece at least by five times. EFFECT: considerably simplified equipment for estimation of the degree of contraction of clay soils, since there is no necessity of special compacting for preparation of standard soil samples in the field conditions, it is also not necessary to determine the moisture content of dusty-clay soils and carry out labour-consuming graduation tests. 1 dwg
