SoilVision Laboratory Tests

• Shear strength
• Shrinkage
• Borehole data
• Environmental data
• Diffusion

Diffusion

Contaminant transport models are critical to your environmental project. The results of your calculations are dependent on the validity of soil properties. Let SoilVision provide you with sound theoretical estimations of diffusion as a function of soil suction.

Features:

• Management of diffusion data
• Comprehensive querying capabilities
• Two theoretical estimations to provide you adsorption or diffusion curves

Application:

• Contaminant transport modeling

Environmental Data

SoilVision provides data management for your environmental data. Whether its detailed information regarding the mineralogy of your soil or the description of detailed pore-water chemistry, SoilVision handles your management and presentation of data with ease.

New Features:

• Management of soil mineralogy
• Management of soil pore-water geochemistry
• Plotting of pore-water chemistry, Piper plots, Schoeller plots, etc.
• Management of subcontracting environmental information

Borehole Data

Management of borehole and piezometer data is one of the significant new features in SoilVision version 2.0. User-friendly forms allow for the easy entering of borehole data. Standardized reporting makes the presentation of borehole data simple and professional. Piezometer installation information and water levels may also be recorded and plotted.

Shrinkage

Representation of the shrinkage characteristics of your soil is critical for the calculation of volume-change calculations in unsaturated soils. SoilVision allows mathematical representation of your shrinkage data with curve-fitting. Pedo-transfer functions also allow estimation of the shrinkage curve where experimental data is limited.

New Features:

• Hyperbolic mathematical non-linear curve-fitting of shrinkage data
• Database of experimentally measured shrinkage curves
• Two pedo-transfer functions allow estimation of shrinkage curve
• Professional report generation
• Comprehensive plotting capabilities

Application:

• Unsaturated volume change modeling

Shear Strength

The shear strength properties of a soil are critical for calculations involving foundations and earth embankments. SoilVision version 2.0 provides newly enhanced, ASTM-compliant methods of representing the shear strength of your soil. SoilVision is designed specifically for managing your unsaturated-saturated shear box or triaxial data.

New Features:

• Management of ASTM shear box data for saturated or unsaturated soils
• Management of ASTM triaxial data for saturated or unsaturated soils
• Enhanced plotting including 3D plotting of the Mohr-Coulomb strength envelope
• Linear regression for the calculation of the Mohr-Coulomb strength envelope based on either shear box or triaxial tests
• Output of the Mohr-Coulomb strength envelope in equation form
• Professional laboratory report generation
• Support for English and Metric units

Applications:

• Saturated or unsaturated stress/volume change and slope stability modeling
