Geotec 8.11.5
Geotec has been updated with several improvements, modifications and fixes including the following. See the release history.
- Laboratory tests
- Limits entry form: Modification of the Swedish cone test to allow to enter up to 4 penetration values, and addition of an initial reading to be subtracted from values, if applicable.
- Modification of field type from 7.3 to 11.3 for masses in Grain Size and Proctor (mould) to allow masses greater than 10,000 grams
- Hydrometer entry form: Added times of 30 seconds and 1 minute
- Hydrometer entry form: Addition of F correction factor for density
- Grain Size entry form: Better management when changing sieving method
- Proctor entry form: Can indicate a passing % at a certain diameter if the grain size test was not done
- Rock mechanics:
- Modification of the Joints and Runs entry forms and addition of calculations
- Modification of the Point Load entry form and addition of calculations
- Addition of UCT entry form (uniaxial compression test) and of calculations
- Addition of Rock entry form (ROCK table) for default parameters in rock mechanics
- Addition of ROCK_SET table to define default joint sets
- New predefined curve for table ROCK_JOINT to display the number of joint or the average joint spacing per meter or per fraction of meter based on data entered
- Google Maps
- Improvements when adding axes and limits interactively with the mouse
- Addition of axis creating without prior query
- When creating an axis, conversion from longitude/latitude to geodesic coordinates based on coordinate systems of the selected site
- Optimized display of the map and geotechnical entities based on coordinate systems
- Soil matrix: Added “saturated” checkbox for moisture
- Piezometers
- Support of Leveloggers including calculations and graphic representation
- Addition of barometric correction via the BAROMETER table for vibrating chord piezometers and Leveloggers
- Piezocone tests: Addition of CONDUCTIVITY field and calculation between electrical conductivity (mS/m) and resistivity (ohm-m) based on resistivity = 1000 / conductivity
- Entry forms: General
- New buttons to toggle between Tabs, Datasheet and Columnar formats
- New general calculation window opened by calculation functions
- Calculations without the need to display data graphically (piezocone, grain size analysis, etc.)
- Support of % for queries on dates in SQL Server and Oracle (ex: 2022-04%)
- New batch calculation of sensitivity Su / Sur in Swedish Cone and Vane entry forms
- Saving sample depths and lengths with 4 decimals instead of 3 to avoid rounding inaccuracies following feet – meter conversions
- Graphic outputs: Corrected use of top depth in Log
- Import External Data: Ability to edit the values in the Import Data window before inserting them in the database, and to resave the .csv file if desired
- DBM
- Addition of default records when creating and updating databases (sieving methods, hydrometer calibrations and grain size specifications)
- Addition of warning messages in the update and transfer tasks
- Correction in transfer loops when tables are unchecked
- Modification of the default N4_VERTICAL view to show only N1, N2, N3, N4 and the remark one below the other
- SKM
- Correction to the uses available with the admin password (Geotab tab)
- More explicit information on the licence or maintenance expiration of Geotec network licences
Geotab 8.11.5
The Geotab application on Android was updated with the following improvements. See the release history.
- Mandatory selection of licence deactivation date
- Correction to the automatic creation of layers: reset the list of debris
- Correction to the automatic numbering of samples if the prefix has 1 character only
- New parameter to set moisture before density / consistency in the descriptions
- New Table format to view the entry forms (option “View as table”)
- Automatic update of databases:
- Modification of field R1 for READING in PIEZOMETRIC_LEVEL
- Correction of field DATE_INSTALLATION for INSTALLATION_DATE in PIEZOMETER
