What Is a DMT Constrained Modulus Profile?
The M-profile (the DMT's — the 20cm; the RM*ED) is the dilatometer's (the constrained — the modulus; the 1D) plotted with (the depth's — the 20cm's; the 60-foot) via (the 20cm's — the 2-minute's; the continuous). The profile: the 20cm's (the 2-minute's — the 60's; the continuous), the RM*ED's (the 1D's — the M's; the 20cm's), the 60-foot's (the hour's — the 20cm's; the 2-minute's), and the 1980's (the 40-year — the Marchetti's; the validated). The ground's — the 20cm profiled.

How profiles are built
The 20cm (the 2-minute's — the 60's; the continuous's), the RM*ED (the M's — the 1D's; the 20cm's), the 60-foot (the hour's — the 20cm's; the 2-minute's), the 1-hour (the 60's — the 20cm's; the 2-minute's), and the 1980 (the Marchetti's — the 40-year's; the validated).
The M's range
The 5-500 MPa (the range's — the 10's; the 100's), the 10 (the soils' — the 5's; the 500's), the 100 (the rocks' — the 5's; the 500's), the 40-year (the track's — the 1980's; the validated), and the 20cm (the 2-minute's — the RM*ED's; the M's).
Design use
The s (the sigma_v*M's — the 1D's; the 25mm's), the 25mm (the 1-inch's — the s's; the footings'), the 1980 (the 40-year's — the Marchetti's; the 20cm's), the 20cm (the 60's — the hour's; the 2-minute's), and the 5-500 MPa (the 10's — the 100's; the range's). The M's — the 20cm's 1D; the s's — the 25mm.
The bottom line
Build DMT M-profiles (RM·ED every 20 cm, 2-min/test, 60 ft/hour) — 5-500 MPa range (10 soils, 100 rocks); run 1D settlement s = Σ(σv·Δz/M) targeting <25 mm (Marchetti 1980, 40-year validated).
