About Datgel CPT Tool

The Datgel CPT Tool gINT Add-In is designed to streamline the processing and interpretation of Cone Penetration Test and Dissipation Test data. It is purchased and licensed separately from the host gINT software, and is supported by Datgel.

Key features of the Add-In include:

Designed for flexibility and user configuration
Allows ASCII data files in numerous standard and propriety formats to be imported
Ability to filter out rod changes
Automatic calculation of derived parameters
More than 100 preconfigured published correlations are calculated, written to the database and ready for presentation on fence, graph and log reports
The Add-In allows the soil type and consistency/density to be interpreted based on user-defined parameters, and then a summary can be transferred to the soil description and consistency/density table
User-definable correlation formulas
Determination of pile axial capacity and shallow foundation settlement
Liquefaction related correlations
Dissipation test analysis
More than 600 preconfigured customisable log, graph and fence reports
User definable line colours, types and scales

About this Guide

This document is intended for use by both new users of Datgel CPT Tool, and users who are ready to explore some of its more advanced features. It is assumed you are a geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist with an understanding of soil mechanics, CPT field operation procedures and user level skills with MS windows and gINT.

The Datgel CPT Tool is supplied with three database options – DGD SI metric with long table (e.g. CPT_POINT_PARAMETERS) and field names, DGD EN same names as DGD SI but with English/Imperial units, and AGS RTA with short AGS RTA-compliant names (e.g. GEOL) for non CPT tables.

Both DGD SI and AGS-RTA names are usually given, although only one is relevant to any given site. Screen images are not duplicated and usually show only the DGD SI version.
