1. INTRODUCTION
The Geokon Model 4415 3D Mechanical Crackmeters is designed to measure movement across
joints such as the construction joints in buildings, bridges, pipelines, dams, etc.; tension cracks in
soils and joints in rock and concrete.
The 3D Mechanical Crackmeter is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Model 4415 3D Mechanical Crackmeter
It consists of a horizontal square bar that is anchored on one side of the crack and a three-sided
box, in which the end of the square bar nests, anchored on the other side of the crack.
The anchors are made from two lengths of #4 rebar, 4 inches long, grouted into boreholes drilled
on either side of the crack. The crackmeter will measure any widening of the crack and the extent
of any shearing movements in two directions. The measurements are made using a dial indicator.
When the crackmeter is shipped it is shipped with its two parts bolted together by two cap
screws. In addition, there are two, half inch thick, black, Delrin spacer blocks held in place to
keep the two parts of the crack meter at the correct distance apart ready for installation.
2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Position the crackmeter so that it spans across the crack, using the rebar lengths mark the
position of holes that need to be drilled.
2) Drill two, 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch boreholes, to the depth necessary to leave the crack meter at
the desire height above the surface.
3) Fill both holes with quick-setting grout and push the rebars into the grout-filled holes.
4) Wait for the grout to set up.
5) Unscrew the two cap screws and using a screwdriver push out the two black Delrin spacer
blocks. The crack meter is now ready to use.

3. TAKING READINGS
Readings are made by means of a dial indicator – the metric model is Model 1400-2-2 and the
English model is Model 1400-1-2.
1) Push the spring-loaded tip of the dial indicator through one of the three holes in the crack
meter. Push the tip in all the way until the collar of the dial gage rests firmly against the steel
surface of either the square bar or the three-sided box. [The hole in the square bar measures
vertical shear; one of the two holes in the three-sided box measures horizontal shear; and the
other hole, crack widening].
2) Record the reading of the dial indicator. This will be the initial reading against which all
subsequent readings will be compared so verify that the reading is correct.
3) Record the temperature – it could have an effect on the readings.
