GeoMil Software for Cone Penetration Testing

bar CPTest© - Acquisition Software

CPTest CPTest© is the Windows based acquisition software for GeoMil Equipment's GME 500™ data acquisition systems, both, for the 19" industrial built-in as well as for the portable IP65 version.
As the successor to CPT7, CPTest© offers the user greater flexibility and user friendliness. It provides a versatile and easy to use acquisition software for mechanical as well as electrical Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) and Piezocone Tests (CPTU).

You can select desired graphics, adjust scales and zoom in - even while performing a sounding at the same time. You can simply compare results by opening a previous sounding next to the current sounding.

The advanced and flexible features of CPTest© allow for professional and efficient test performance. Individual monitoring demands are taken into account by flexible viewing options the user can select.

All data are presented in real-time in both graphical and numerical format. At any time the vertical and horizontal scaling can be adjusted.

Moreover, all channels can be switched on or off individually. In playback mode, multiple tests can be opened and charts with all measured data are available in a 10 mm interval.

In addition to the classical GeoMil data format all tests can be exported as standard Geotechnical Exchange Format (GEF), allowing an easy exchange of CPT data. Moreover, the GEF format is fully compatible with a range of programs used for foundation designs and stability calculations.

(For more information on the GEF file format, please refer to GEF CPT - a standard format for CPT's or search The Geonet for "GEF" and related publications.)

Thus the recorded data can easily be processed further, e.g. to interpret the results for soil classification, with interpretation and presentation applications like CPTask©.

CPTest© records all primary measuring parameters detected by the cone sensors. Furthermore derived parameters like the friction ratio are calculated and displayed. Obviously, CPTest© also records pore pressure dissipation tests (PPD) by logging the pore pressure and cone resistance versus time. Field plots of the original measuring values, both CPT and PPD, often demanded as on-site quality control, can be printed on site.

bar CPTask© - Presentation and Interpretation Software
CPTask     CPTask     CPTask CPTask© forms the newly designed and Microsoft Windows based CPT data processing, soil classification and plotting software for all your CPT related office tasks.

The user friendly program structure is project oriented and provides, among other features, the possibility to edit project data and variables such as ground level, coordinates and water table in one simple step.

Several individual CPT files or complete project files can be opened and processed simultaneously. All windows can be arranged according to the user's preferences.

Data can be viewed as tables and graphic plots and all CPT data can be edited freely while the raw data files remain untouched.

The user can switch between various languages (e.g. English, Dutch, German and more to follow), both for the program readings and for the plot versions.

The data import format can either be of the classic GME or the standardised GEF format. The processed data can be exported directly to Microsoft Excel or as ASCII, PDF and JPEG format.

The manual input of CPT data allows also for a comfortable file generation of visually recorded mechanical CPT results.

Besides the measured parameters the user can select geotechnical relevant derived parameters to be plotted. Among others the equivalent SPT N60 values, relative density, internal friction angle and un-drained shear strength are calculated and presented in a professional lay-out.

Various filter and correction functions allow for individual data treatment and graphical presentation. The user can define whether the recorded penetration depth should be corrected for the measured inclination.

A soil classification based on both, friction ratio and pore pressure ratio is presented as coloured soil bars.

All functions and applied calculation formulas are well documented in an on-line help file.

All settings as for the scaling, header information as well for the print options can be modified individually or applied for all opened CPT files or projects.

The clients company logo can easily be integrated as bitmap file.
