Liquefaction Analysis Program (NovoLiq)

NovoLiq is designed as a very flexible and comprehensive soil liquefaction analysis software which can compare more than 10 different methods. NovoLiq covers the following field tests:

-Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

-Becker Penetration Test (BPT)

-Shear Wave Velocity (Vs)

Soil resistance (CRR) is calculated based on:

-Japanese Bridge Code

-Chinese Code

-Seed et al. (1983)

-Tokimatsu-Yoshimi (1983)

-Shibata (1981)

-Kokusho et al. (1983)

-Vancouver Task Force (2007)

-NCEER Workshop (1996)

-University of California at Davis (2004)

-Cetin & Seed (2004)

Some other features:

-Unlimited soil layers

-Import from gINT, Winlog and Excel files

-Metric & Imperial units

-Lateral displacement and vertical settlements during liquefaction (6 methods)

-Effect of ground improvement on liquefaction

-Cyclic Resistance Ratio (10 methods)

-Probability of liquefaction (Youd and Noble / Cetin et al)

-Depth (overburden) correction factor (9 options)

-All other SPT/BPT/Vs corrections (>6 options)

-Direct conversion of Becker Density Test to SPT (2 methods, including friction effect)

-Magnitude Scaling Factor (8 options)

-Fines content correction (2 options)

-Depth Reduction Factor Rd (3 options)

-Relative Density (5 options)

-Very powerful report builder

-Export output tabular data as Microsoft Excel and graphic formats such as BMP, JPG, etc.

-Post-liquefaction lateral displacement and settlement based on different methods
