New in NovoSPT (SPT Correlation Program) 1.8.0.33 (Nov 9, 2009)

  • A new correlation of SPT blow counts to friction angle based on Duncan 2004 is added to NovoSPT.
  • Import from GAEA's Winlog is added to our products (click here for more information)
  • Import from Microsoft Excel files is added to NovoSPT. Data unit system conversion is also included.
  • A new correlation added for Gmax based on Randolph, 1981
  • Import from Microsoft Excel files is added to NovoSPT. Data unit system conversion is also included.
  • A full documentation has been prepared for "gINT Import Tool" and Help file is attached to latest version of NovoSPT. Please read the online documentation here.

New in NovoSPT (SPT Correlation Program) 1.8.0.4 (Sep 28, 2009)

  • A new method of correlation between Vs and N1(60) from Anbazhagan & Sitharam added to NovoSPT.
  • NovoSPT now supports both Imperial and Metric units systems
  • A new tools added to NovoSPT : Wildcat Dynamic Penetrometer Analysis (the equipment from Triggs Technologies, US)
  • 3 new correlation to Dr (Cubrinovski & Ishihara) added to NovoSPT.
  • Two new correlations with Gmax added to NovoSPT.
  • A new feature added to NovoSPT to enable the user for selecting among correlation methods for each parameter. Therefore, scattered plot of the correlated value is now based on user's selection. For example this feature helps you activating correlations which are applicable to a specific type of soil.
  • Fixed a bug when importing SPT data from gINT database with free format. Also for each correlation in the result tables, reference book/paper and N60/N1(60) is specified.
  • 21 new correlation for shear wave velocity from 16 geo-scientists is added to NovoSPT.

New in NovoSPT (SPT Correlation Program) 1.7.0.34375 (Aug 20, 2009)

  • Save and Load features are added to NovoSPT. Now you can save your calculations into *.spt files and reload them later when you need them. Also the following methods are added to correlations : Wolff 1989 and Kulhawy and Mayne 1990 for friction angle, AND Hara et al. 1974 for undrained shear strength of clays.
  • A preferences feature is added to NovoSPT. The main reason of this page is to set the valid range of correlated geotechnical parameters, since based on some formulae the resulted values are sometimes out of meaningful range (such as F>45ยบ).
  • Cross Correlation is now available in NovoSPT. Using this feature you can plot and compare different methods of correlation for a soil parameter in depth of test hole. Please see the screenshot for illustration.
  • Two more correlations of SPT to pile baring capacity added to NovoSPT. Current users are highly recommended to download new version.
  • Correlation of SPT with Wildcat dynamic penetrometer cone resistance (qd) and correlation with pile end bearing (Reese and O'Neill method) are added to NovoSPT.
  • New feature added to NovoSPT for importing from gINT files compliant with AGS format as well as FREE FORMAT (user can choose mapping tables and fields from database).
