Vibrating Wire Shear Displacement Meter (Interface Displacement Meter)

Overview

The Enviko SK-SDM vibrating wire shear displacement meter, also called an interface displacement meter, measures boundary displacement of fill or structures, such as slip along the interface between soil and bedrock, soil and concrete, or soil and other media. It is suited to measuring shear offset and relative settlement between embankments, core walls, slope protection or fill and their foundation surfaces. A built-in temperature sensor records the temperature at the installation point, and a smart ID chip can be fitted on request.

Key Features

• Measures slip and relative settlement at material interfaces
• Five ranges from 25 to 200 mm
• 0.025% FS resolution, ±0.1% FS accuracy
• Waterproof to 0.5 MPa (up to 3 MPa on custom versions)
• Built-in temperature sensor; optional smart ID chip

Applications

• Interfaces between soil and bedrock
• Interfaces between soil and concrete, such as core walls and cut-off walls
• Embankments and slope protection on their foundations
• Earth-rock dams
