Editor's review
This is a software tool that interprets soil testing data, particularly the Cone Penetration Test data.
NovoCPT is meant for interpretation of Cone Penetration Test data. This tool helps import CPT data files into the program. It then can carry out engineering analysis that leads to estimate of more than 35 soil parameters. Loading CPTu data files involve the loading of the ConeTec files (.cor), Gregg Drilling files (.cor), Hogentogler Analog files (.cpd) and Van der berg Gorilla files (*.gru). Calculating soil parameters such as friction angle, relative density, unit weight, fines content, shear wave velocity, Gmax, N60, clay sensitivity, OCR, undrained shear strength, soil behavior type (SBT), Ic, at-rest earth pressure coefficient Ko , etc. can be carried out with this analysis tool. Soil behavior data like Robertson 1990, Robertson 1986 and Jefferies & Been 2006 are possible.
The program is capable of carrying out engineering analysis like liquefaction analysis, shallow footing bearing/settlement analysis and pile bearing capacity analysis (LCPC), etc. In the liquefaction analysis you will be able to get a full report. The shallow bearing analysis capability gives you consolidation and elastic analysis based on Terzaghi and Schmertmann methods. LCPC analysis gives a detailed report. In all three cases you are able to export the data into Excel and image formats. The printed form of the reports can be customized easily. The interface is easy for the people who understand what the soil analysis is all about. This is a very good product. If you are looking for a similar solution, this is a good candidate for a trial in your exact set up.
