Like it or not, the SPT test is the go-to test for most geotechnical engineering projects. Once you collect the SPT data in the field, you need to make your energy and depth corrections, and apply any number of correlations to estimate soil properties and compare with laboratory values. In my experience, this is done by a series of spreadsheets, or even something you create from scratch for every project. Enter NovoSPT software by GeoPrac sponsor NovoTech. It allows you to conveniently analyze your SPT data, applying any of the 300 correlations built into the program, and compare the variation with depth on your project site.
