An apparatus and method are provided for the in-situ measurement of the stiffness of a surface (12, 206.) The apparatus includes a platform (200, 220, 230, 250, 300), which is movable relative to the surface. A stiffness measurement device (23, 202) is supported by the platform (200, 220, 230, 250, 300) in a stationary position relative to the surface (12, 206) for a measurement period during movement of the platform (200, 220, 230, 250, 300) along the surface (12, 206). |
