NovoCPT v4 for PC Windows

Description

• Data Processing: Imports CPT data files, typically collected every 20 to 30 mm, and performs engineering analyses to process the large datasets.
• Soil Parameter Estimation: Correlates CPT data to more than 35 soil parameters, including:
  • Friction angle, relative density, and unit weight
  • Fines content, shear wave velocity, and Gmax
  • Clay sensitivity, overconsolidation ratio (OCR), and undrained shear strength
  • N60 (equivalent SPT blow counts), soil behavior type (SBT), and at-rest earth pressure coefficient (Ko)
• Soil Behavior Type (SBT) Classification: Determines SBT using several established methods, including Robertson (1986, 1990) and Jefferies and Been (2006).
• Engineering Analyses:
  • Liquefaction Analysis: Assesses soil liquefaction potential, including post-liquefaction lateral spreading and settlement based on methods such as Zhang and Robertson (2004).
  • Bearing Capacity Analysis: Calculates the bearing capacity of pad/strip footings using five different methods.
  • Settlement Analysis: Estimates both elastic settlement (Schmertmann method) and one-dimensional consolidation settlement (Terzaghi method).
  • Pile Bearing Capacity: Analyzes pile bearing capacity based on methods like the LCPC method.
• Reporting and Export: Generates professional reports which can be customized by selecting specific charts and then printed or exported to formats like Microsoft Excel or image files.
• User Interface: Features a user-friendly and intuitive interface with a complete help file and user’s manual accessible from within the program to assist users.
