GeoSuite is a comprehensive Windows based computer program particularly designed for Geotechnical Engineers. It covers most of the topics involved in the preparation of geotechnical investigation reports, such as Liquefaction Potential, Seismic Settlement, Lateral Spreading, Compression Deformation, Bearing Capacity, Subgrade Reaction Modulus, and Static and Seismic Earth Pressures.
Download DocumentationGeoSuite© is a comprehensive geotechnical software package designed for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers and engineering geologists who need to evaluate earthquake hazard or provide various geotechnical parameters or information for structural design. All calculations are performed in an easy and understandable format and based on field geotechnical investigation data, obtained through Standard Penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT) or shear wave velocity (Vs) measurements. GeoSuite© is a very useful tool for reviewer of geotechnical reports with a need to check the accuracy of results and calculations presented to them for review. It further allows engineers to run hypotheticals that will aid in increasing the overall understanding of the geotechnical environment.
GeoSuite© has been in constant development since its inception in 2002 and consists of four modules:
By using GeoSuite© you may evaluate: liquefaction potential, seismic settlement, liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, compression/consolidation deformation, expansion deformation, bearing pressures and subgrade reaction moduli considering multi-layered soil profiles. The user can also calculate static and seismic earth pressures for arbitrary surface configurations including level, ascending and/or descending sloped or stepped surfaces. The latest functions added in the program include the calculation of Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI) and Liquefaction Severity Number (LSN).
All of the above features make GeoSuite© the premier geotechnical engineering tool on the market, also recognized by State and local Government agencies across the U.S.A.
GeoLogs© is a software specially designed and developed for Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologist to plot soil boring logs using a user-friendly interface. Based on United Soil Classification System (USCS), detailed soil descriptions will be automatically added by selecting USCS symbols of the soil type. It allows users to include field and laboratory test data.
GeoLogs© is specially designed for being included in the Geotechnical Engineering Report or Geology Hazard Report. Deep boring can be seamlessly plotted into multiple pages by user specified depth per page. A summary of USCS page and a General Notes page are automatically generated and added at the end of boring log output. In a single project file, users can generate as many as number of borings.
GeoLogs© has a powerful function to create cross-sections, that is required for the project reviewed by CGS in California, by selecting inputted boring logs. By importing the output from GeoSuite, GeoLogs© can easily to create cross-section with mixed soil bring and CPT sounding data as well as to add strata to the cross-section.
GeoPile© is a software specially designed and developed for Geotechnical Engineers to calculate vertical pile capacities in accordance with AASHTO LRFD design methods. Currently it calculates vertical resistance of Drilled Shaft in accordance with AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications – 8th Edition and California Amendments to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications – 8th Edition. Driven pile and micro pile will be added.
GeoPile© is specially designed for being included in the Geotechnical Engineering Report with its neat output. It uses the soil profile created in GeoSuite©. It will calculate shaft length of single and group pile length of various diameters for Strength Limit and Extreme Limit conditions. Group reduction factor is automatically considered based on group pile layout. GeoPile© has following functions:
