In the present work the dynamic load plate test in form of the Light Falling Weight Device (LFWD) is evaluated by means of extensive in-situ experiments and numerical studies. The LFWD is an innovative field test method to determine the dynamic deformation modulus of soils and filled materials within earth structures and in ground engineering. The device is suitable to prove the compaction degree and to evaluate the bearing capacity of the tested layer.
