NovoLiq enables liquefaction assessment through Standard Penetration Test, Becker Density Test, and Shear Wave Velocity field tests, and also facilitates the calculation of post-liquefaction lateral displacement and settlements, as well as residual strength (Sr).
One of the standout features of NovoLiq is that it can calculate soil resistance based on a variety of methods, including the 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) and Cetin & Seed. With NovoLiq, you have the flexibility to choose the method that suits your specific requirements.
Aside from the above features, NovoLiq also offers other functionalities such as unlimited soil layers, import from gINT, Winlog and Excel files, metric and imperial units, lateral displacement and vertical settlements during liquefaction (6 methods), effect of ground improvement on liquefaction, cyclic resistance ratio (10 methods) and probability of liquefaction (Youd and Noble / Cetin et al).
NovoLiq also includes features like 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) and a very powerful report builder. If you need to export output tabular data as Microsoft Excel and graphic formats such as BMP, JPG, etc., NovoLiq has that capability too.
Finally, among its functionalities, NovoLiq also includes post-liquefaction lateral displacement and settlement based on different methods, which makes it a very comprehensive soil liquefaction software that suits different types of users.
