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.

Geoengineer.org has launched a new GeoSoftware directory, sure to be the go-to resource for our industry. The complete revamp of their previous directory will allow software vendors to provide news and video related to their […]
Becker Penetration Test (BPT) is a field test used for estimation of relative density of coarse-grained material containing cobbles and boulders. NovoBPT is designed for correcting raw BPT blow counts (Nb) and correlating them to […]
RockWare has released an update to their popular geological and geotechnical software package, RockWorks 16. It’s pretty clear these folks are not sitting back on their heels but continuing to develop and push out new […]
