CLiq

CLiq is a Cone Penetration Test based soil liquefaction software, a procedure applied in construction, determining the soil's capability of withstanding the pressure of vertical or lateral structures.

CLiq appears to be a combination between CPeT-IT and LiqIT, but more inclined to offering advanced test data for cone penetration tests while also addressing advanced issues regarding cyclic softening in clay-like soils and thin layer/layer transition zone detection.

The user can take advantage of a 2D feature that generates contour maps of LPI ( liquefaction potential index) and the behavior of vertical structures affected by earthquakes.

A 3D graph can present the user with a parametric analysis of earthquake magnitude in relation to surface acceleration in order to assess the potential of overall LPI and post-earthquake settlements.

Besides the already mentioned features, the application should also be able to import raw CPTU data from any ASCII files, support both the metric and imperial unit systems, provide thin layer corrections, parametric analysis tools, SPT, Vs, and DMT complimentary analysis modules, etc.

To sum things up, CLiq as well as other software from this family are tools developed to help geologists, architects, and constructors in their field of work.
