To sum up, lots of smart capabilities are implemented including automatic layering, data entry validation, compatibility check, etc. leading to maximum accuracy outputs.
Features
General features
-Reverse geocoding.
-User is informed about the common ranges regarding input parameters.
-Data compatibility and accuracy is constantly checked and a list of errors is presented.
-9 landscape and portrait templates are available for enhanced presentation of geotechnical laboratory and field tests results.
-Log depth per page may be individually altered regarding landscape and portrait formats.
-Exporting boring logs to XPS and PDF formats.
-Saving files with a minimal size.
Penetration tests
-SPT (Standard Penetration Test) and DP (Dynamic Probing) tests can be defined in boreholes and test pits, respectively.
-DP tests are convertible to SPT using a custom energy coefficient.
-By user's will, test results could be limited to 50 and 30 (or 32 depending on the project settings) in coarse-grained and fine-grained soils, respectively.
-Determination of relative density in coarse-grained and consistency in fine-grained soils.
Smart layering
-Automatic layering considering the following criteria:
*Soil Classification according to USCS
*Organic fines
*Cobbles and boulders
*Percentage of different particles (gravel, sand and fines)
-For each depth range, if the mentioned layering criteria are not violated, best choices for filling the "USCS" and "Description" columns are recommended by the software.
