What is NovoCPT?

NovoCPT

NovoCPT is a handy tool that construction engineers often use to get the scoop on soil properties. So, what exactly are cone penetration tests (or CPTs)? Well, they help us figure out how the soil is layered and what it's made of. This info is super important when it comes to understanding how much weight the ground can hold, especially in areas like landfills.

Understanding Soil Properties

With NovoCPT, you can make those necessary calculations a lot quicker and easier. You just upload your CPT files from other software, and bam! You can start calculating all sorts of soil parameters like friction angle, relative density, unit weight, fines content, and even shear wave velocity!

Calculate Over 35 Soil Parameters

The awesome part? The program helps you calculate more than 35 different soil parameters. These include important metrics like shear strength (Su), sand internal friction angle (Phi), clay correlation factor (Rd), over-consolidation ratio (OCR), shear wave velocity (VS), and clay sensitivity. All these measurements are key for deciding how to stabilize the ground before breaking ground on any construction project.

Why It Matters for Construction Projects

This kind of info is critical, especially when working on reclaimed land. Engineers can determine if they should keep going with a construction project by looking at factors like soil liquefaction or pile bearing capacity. Basically, NovoCPT helps make sure everything's safe before any big building starts!
