Borehole Log Visualization Bearing Capacity Software

Software VisLog Peysanj

VisLog is a creative computer program for Peysanj is a series of geotechnical

3-dimensional modeling of the boreholes
and in-situ test results.
Drawing soil profiles by just drag & drop of
the boreholes! Several different features for
soil group definition and their shading styles
are provided in VisLog.
•Providing 3D view of the site
•Easy zoom, rotate and pan
•Each layer of data supports transparency
•Importing gINT files
•Export to image, DXF and video formats
•Automatic generation of soil profiles
•Plotting field test results beside boreholes
•Rendering contour maps for each

NovoCPT
NovoSPT is the ONLY geotechnical Analysis of soil liquefaction during
software containing more than 265 formulas NovoCPT is a very intuitive CPT earthquake has always been challenging. By
for correlation of soil properties based on interpenetration software tool that imports using NovoLiq, user is able to assess the
SPT blow counts. Each correlation is valid for CPT files and performs interpretations and liquefaction potential and estimate the
certain soil type(s) and has the full reference correlations to soil parameters including but post-liquefaction lateral displacement and
information. NovoSPT correlates the not limited to: settlements, based on different methods.
