Overview

The test and interpreted data tables are stored in the project database. 

A number of constants and assumptions are required in derivations. Many may be set as follows:

• At a project level on Project_Parameters and Project_Correlation_Parameters
• For each PointID on Point_Parameters and Point_Correlation_Parameters
• By depth for a PointID on Point_Material_Properties
• Some may be set for each push (on CPT_Data – Upper).

This provided you with full control over which level in the hierarchy to use.

Main Group

POINT

When an Elevation is changed the Tool will calculate. The PointID and HoleDepth fields must be defined.

CPT

CPT Data – Upper (CPT_GENERAL)

This table defines each CPT stroke within a PointID, since under some circumstances multiple CPT strokes take place in the same hole. Each stroke has a unique Test Number.

CPT Data – Lower (CPT_DATA)

This table stores the actual raw depth related data for each push and derived results related to each reading.

CPT Correlation - (CPT_DATA_CORRELATION)

One-to-one child of CPT_DATA which stores the derived results related to each reading.

Cone Information - Upper (CPT_CONE_INFORMATION)

The cone and equipment constants are stored on this table. For example, two important constants are the Cone_Area_Ratio and Cone_Sleeve_Offset.

Cone Information - Lower (CPT_CONE_CALIBRATION)

This table can be used to record the calibration dates for each cone.

Lower best Upper Correlations (CPT_DATA_LOWER_BEST_UPPER)

This table is a one-to-one child of CPT_DATA, and stores a selection of correlations with results for Lower Bound, Best Estimate and Upper Bound.

Dissipation Test (CPT_DISSIPATION_TEST_GENERAL and CPT_DISSIPATION_TEST_READINGS)

These tables store the Dissipation Test raw and derived data.

CPT-Liquefaction

Liquefaction Data (CPT_LIQUEFACTION_DATA)

One-to-one child of CPT_DATA which stores liquefaction related correlation results.

Foundation Point Parameters – Lower (CPT_FOUNDATION_POINT_PARAMETERS_PROFILE)

Depth profile of material type used by pile capacity calculation.

Foundation Project Parameters (CPT_FOUNDATION_PROJECT_PARAMETERS)

Project level parameters used by foundation calculations.

CPT-Configuration

Point Parameters (CPT_POINT_PARAMETERS)

This table stores the Point level constants and assumption values related to derived parameters and soil behaviour type calculations. Hence if you wish to set the groundwater depth for all strokes for a PointID then that value should be entered into the Groundwater_Depth field on the CPT_POINT_PARAMETERS Table.

Point Correlation Parameters - Upper (CPT_POINT_CORRELATION_PARAMETERS)

Point level constants for correlations are stored in this table.

Point Correlation Parameters - Lower (CPT_POINT_MATERIAL_PROPERTIES)

A bulk unit weight, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}u_o\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}e\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}N_k\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}N_{kt}\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}S_u \text{ } LB\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}S_u \text{ } BE\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}S_u \text{ } UB\end{array} //]]>$, $//<![CDATA[ \begin{array}{l}FC\end{array} //]]>$ depth profile may be defined for each PointID on the CPT_POINT_MATERIAL_PROPERTIES table. The depth ranges for a particular PointID must not overlap in any way. You will not be able to save the table if overlapping depth ranges are entered.

Project Parameters (CPT_PROJECT_PARAMETERS)

Project level constants and parameters related to derived parameter and soil behaviour type calculations are stored on this table.

Project Correlation Parameters (CPT_PROJECT_CORRELATION_PARAMETERS)
