Settling plate A settling plate is a device used to measure and control settlement, usually made of a 300 300 5mm steel plate, which is used to be embedded in the roadbed. During the construction of the subgrade, the settlement plate should be constructed together with the subgrade, and the settlement plate should be installed before laying the subgrade earthwork. The installation position of the settling plate should be determined according to the design requirements, usually at the edge or center of the roadbed.
After the installation of the settling plate is completed, it needs to be preloaded. The purpose of preloading is to eliminate the elastic deformation and plastic deformation of the subgrade earthwork, so as to ensure the stability of the subgrade and the accuracy of the settlement. During the preloading process, the settling plate can be used to monitor the settlement of the earthwork, and adjust the preload weight and time in time according to the monitoring results.
In the process of road construction, the role of the settlement plate is very important. Through the monitoring data of the settlement plate, the problems in the construction of the roadbed can be found in time and the corresponding measures can be taken to solve them. At the same time, the monitoring data of the settlement plate can also be used as an important basis for the acceptance of road engineering.
In short, the settlement plate is an indispensable equipment in road engineering, and its role involves various links such as road construction, monitoring and acceptance. In the process of road construction, attention should be paid to the installation and monitoring of the settlement plate to ensure the stability and safety of the roadbed. At the same time, the maintenance and maintenance of the settling plate is also very important, and it should be checked and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation and use effect.
