SoilVision Laboratory Tests

Permeability

Compatibility with ASTM testing methods make SoilVision the ultimate environment for the management of your permeability data. Let one of our eight methods estimate a saturated hydraulic conductivity for you to reduce the cost of your experimental program. Then let one of our five pedo-transfer functions estimate your permeability as a function of soil suction. Take the guesswork out of how much will move how fast through your soil.

New Features:

  • Eight methods for estimating saturated hydraulic conductivity include methods from Hazen, Kozeny-Carman, Kruger, Zamarin, Terzaghi, Slichter, the USBR, and two methods from Rawls & Brakensiek
  • Five pedo-transfer functions for estimating permeability as a function of soil suction including methods from van Genuchten, Fredlund & Xing, Kunze (KCAL), Brooks & Corey, and Campbell
  • Separate management of field and laboratory data
  • Calculation of air permeability by the Brooks & Corey method for your vapor extraction needs
  • Enhanced plotting
  • Professional report generation
  • Support for English and Metric units

Features:

  • Experimental database of hundreds of permeability curves and over 2500 experimentally measured saturated hydraulic conductivities
  • Detailed graphing capabilities
  • Comprehensive querying capabilities
  • ASTM standard database capabilities for your laboratory data

Application:

  • Seepage and contaminant transport modeling

Compression

Compression (consolidation) curves form the basis for your volume-change and consolidation calculations. The value of your data will be lost without a state-of-the-art database system. Complete laboratory reporting methods compatible with ASTM testing standards and mathematical representation of experimental data form the basis for powerful data management. Whether its oedometer or isotropic triaxial laboratory data, SoilVision will manage your data with ease.

New Features:

  • New two-slope continuous, smooth mathematical equation from Fredlund & Fredlund allows representation of laboratory data
  • Professional report generation
  • Management of isotropic triaxial laboratory data
  • Enhanced plotting
  • Calculation of continuous slope functions for the coefficient of volume change, mv, coefficient of compressibility, av, and compression index, Cc, equations as a function of net normal stress
  • Calculation of Youngs modulus as a function of net normal stress
  • Correlation database allows estimation of compressive properties of the soil

Features:

  • Three-parameter fit of compression data as originally presented by Fredlund allows representation of laboratory data
  • Query groups of soils with similar compression curves
  • Dataset of oedometer compression data

Applications:

  • Saturated or unsaturated soil volume change modeling

Compaction

SoilVision is the only database capable of mathematically modeling your collection of compaction curves. Soil compaction properties are necessary for the construction of roads, embankments, earth dams, and other engineering structures. Proper representation of the compaction properties of your soil is critical to the success of your project. SoilVision provides professional data management for your company in three ways. Firstly, complete data management, reporting, and plotting capabilities are provided to get the most from your laboratory data. Secondly, two methods of mathematically representing the compression properties of your soil are provided. Lastly, an industry-standard method of estimating compaction curves provides cost-savings for your company.

New Features:

  • Database management of ASTM standard and modified Proctor laboratory data
  • Non-linear regression functions capable of fitting two equations to experimental data (quadratic equation and Li equation)
  • Woods pedo-transfer function to estimate compaction curves from limited data based on one or two points on the compaction curve
  • Ability to select groups of similar compaction curves from the database
  • An estimation method allows a compaction curve to be generated for most soils with only one laboratory test
  • Output of mathematical equations describing compaction curve for modeling purposes
  • Professional report generation
  • Advanced plotting capabilities
  • Support for English and Metric units

Applications:

  • The construction of roads, embankments, earth dams, and other engineering structures
