NovoCPT - Cone Penetration Test (CPTu) Processing Software
NovoCPT is a powerful, user-friendly geotechnical software for processing and interpretation of cone penetration test data. In this test, data is typically collected at every 20 to 30 mm depth interval, and therefore, the results of CPT test is a large digital dataset. Processing this data requires a computer program.
Using NovoCPT you can accomplish the following main tasks:
- Correlation of CPT data to Over 35 Soil Parameters
- Soil Behaviour Types (3 methods)
- Soil Liquefaction Analysis
- Pad/Strip Footing Bearing Capacity Analysis (5 methods)
- Pad/Strip Footing Settlement Analysis (elastic & consolidation)
- Pile Bearing Capacity Analysis (LCPC)
NovoCPT comes with a complete help file (accessible from inside the program), and user’s manual in PDF and eBook formats to allow you getting up-to-speed in a very short time.

NovoCPT carries out soil liquefaction triggering analysis based on CPT data, using the following methods:
- Robertson 2012
- Idriss & Boulanger 2008
In addition to the triggering analysis, post-liquefaction lateral spread and re-consolidation settlement of the liquefied layers will be estimated based on the following methods:
- Zhang, Robertson and Brachman, 2004
- Ishihara and Yoshimine, 1992
The details of soil liquefaction analysis is presented in a tabular format, for each depth. This data can be exported to Microsoft Excel format for further review / analysis.
NovoCPT estimates the elastic settlement (Schmertmann method) and one-dimensional consolidation settlement (Terzaghi method) of pad and strip footings based on CPT data. You can use the program’s correlation functions to estimate Cc and void ratio (e) and choose the representative values for your model. The modulus of elasticity used for estimation of elastic settlement is directly estimated from CPT data.
The details of settlement analysis is presented in a tabular format, for each depth. This data can be exported to Microsoft Excel format for further review / analysis.
Using NovoCPT you can estimate bearing capacity of pad / strip footings directly from CPT data, based on the following methods:
- Robertson 1996
- Meyerhof 1956
- Tand et. al 1995
- Schmertmann 1978
- Owkati 1978
- CFEM 2006

Use NovoCPT to estimate the bearing capacity of piles directly based on CPT data, based on LCPC method. Various pile types are covered under the LCPC method and the program automatically carried out all complicated calculations to estimate the pile bearing capacity.
Different Factors of Safety (or Resistance Factors) may be applied to end bearing and skin friction capacities. Both skin friction and end bearing capacities are plotted versus depth of the borehole.
The details of pile capacity analysis is presented in a tabular format, for each depth. This data can be exported to Microsoft Excel format for further review / analysis.
NovoCPT assists you to define subsurface soil layers based on CPT data collected during the test. You can view various CPT parameters and adjust the depth of each layer.
