Minor improvements in user interface.

Version 1.9 just released with Bearing Capacity Analysis tool.

The following features are added (both can be found under File menu):

    - Save As ...

    - OPen Recent Files

calculation of rod length correction Cr is now done automatically.

NovoSPT help file updated; please download here.

4 more correlations for Su, Es and G0 added

5 new correlations of SPT to Gmax and pile bearing capacity added to NovoSPT. 

Import from Rockware's LogPlot is added to our products (click here for more information)

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.

Import from gINT feature is enhanced. Automatic soil layers import and unit system conversion is included.

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 (Upgrade to v 1.8)

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 G_max 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.

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>45º).

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.

Two more correlations of SPT to pile baring capacity added to NovoSPT. 

Correlation of SPT with Wildcat dynamic penetrometer cone resistance (q_d) 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).

Import from gINT database files is now available. You may load your existing gINT projects from NovoSPT and select the borehole from auto-populated list to import its SPT/DCPT data for further correlation.

NovoSPT reports are now more descriptive; Correlated values for each parameter are plotted in a graph and inserted below corresponding table in the report. See a sample report here.

Correlation of SPT with approximate unit weights for Sands and Clays added to the software.

Pressuremeter modulus (EPMT) correlation with SPT blow counts added to the software. Also five new correlations for soil friction angle (including Pech, Hanson and Thornburn) are added.

Becker Hammer correlations with SPT blow counts added to the software. For more information click here.

User manual (Help) is prepared for the program. Download help file here or see online documentation here.

First official release.
