Geotechnical Investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018): version 9.0.6 and 9.0.7 - General adaptions

With the release of the object type versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7, major and minor adjustments were made to the object type 'Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018)' [ENISO002] and the associated geotechnical data types. Amongst other things, the changes include adaptations to the current standards DIN 18196 (2023) and DIN 4023 (2023) as well as structural changes to the geotechnical data types.

Below you will find more detailed information on the general changes to the object type.

Information on the structural changes to the geotechnical data types (please be sure to read this before updating) can be found in this Help Center article.

Corrections

Adjustment of the output for system variables

The output of the system variables $TRPLUS (+/and) and $TRMINUS (-/to) does not include inverted commas.

Discontinuities

It is possible to enter several keys in the field 'Roughness' (TF_RAUIG).

The default value for the 'Type of structure' (TYP_TF) input field has been removed to allow the deletion of an existing layer.

Adaptation to DIN 18196 (2023)

Soil groups

Three new soil groups according to DIN 18169 (2023) have been added to the dictionary '(E2) Soil group' [E2BOHGR]:

• Large boulders (BG)
• Boulders (BL)
• Cobbles (BS)

Adaptation to DIN 4023 (2023)

Adaptation of the dictionaries for major and secondary components

'(E2) Major components' [E2PSTYPE]:

• Addition of the entries 'coarse silt' and 'large boulder'
• Change of the standard text for 'organic soil [EN ISO]' from 'OR' to 'O' (only for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)')
• Adaptation of the English translation for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)' (formerly capitalised):

'(E2) Secondary components' [E2SSTYPE]:

• Addition of the entry 'coarse silty'
• Change of the standard text for:
  • 'organic [DIN]' from 'h' to 'o' (only for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)')
  • 'organic [EN ISO]' from 'h' to 'o' (only for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)')

Adaptation of the fill patterns to the colour values of DIN 4023

Adaptation of the fill patterns for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)' according to the colour values of DIN 4023 for:

• Major components (dictionary '(E2) Major components' [E2PSTYPE])
• Secondary components (dictionary '(E2) Secondary components' [E2SSTYPE])
• Genesis (dictionary '(E2) Genesis' [E2GENESE])
• Well design backfill (dictionary '(E2) Well design - back fill' [E2ASBVER])
• Well design casing (dictionary '(E2) Well design - casing' [E2ROHEL])

Adaptation of the display for WRT cutting conditions

New visualisation for 'highly jointed' / 'very highly jointed' (graphic type: 46) and 'liquid' (graphic type: 45) by adapting the dictionary '(E2) Condition WRT cuttings' [E2BOHGUT]:

Adaptation of the display for weathering grade

New visualisation of the weathering stage 'residual soil' (graphic type: 43) for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (German)' by adapting the dictionary '(E2) Weathering grades' [E2VERWIT]. The graphic element 'Special symbol' with the special symbol type 'Weathering grade' can be used for visualisation:

Adaptation of sample visualisation

Samples of category A-E are uniformly displayed in full colour (exception: water sample) for the standards 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)' and 'INT (english)':

Further general adaptations

New fields / parameters

Layer data [E2LAYER]:

• Ground unit (GROUNDUNIT)

Well design data - casing [E2WDCAS]

• Diameter nominal (ELDNWIDE)

Adjustment of field lengths

The field lengths have been adjusted for the following data fields:

General data [E2GENER]:

• Reference (AKTENZ) increased from 20 to 40 characters
• Borehole number / shortname (SHORTNAME) increased from 15 to 25 characters
• Functional supervision (SUPVIS) increased from 50 to 100 characters
• Name of borehole (LONGNAME) increased from 40 to 50 characters

Layer data [E2LAYER]:

• Additional comments / Layer comments (NOTELAYER) increased from 100 to 254 characters

Adjustment of output formats

Well design data [E2WDCAS, E2WDHOLE, E2WDSPCL, E2WDGEN, E2WDBCKF]:

• Adjustment of the display format from 0 to 2 decimal places for all diameters, slit widths, slit lengths and wall thicknesses in the data management method

Adjustment of long texts

Layer data [E2LAYER]:

• Long text for field 'GROUP' renamed from 'group' to 'soil group'

Adjustment of dictionaries

'(E2) Organic components' [E2ORGMAT]:

• Gradation added for key 'humous' (2 - slightly, 4 - very):

• Translation for 'slightly' ($TRCODE2B) and 'very' ($TRCODE4B) added

'(E2) Sample type' [E2PROBAR]:

• Code 'wlf' for 'thermal conductivity test' added

Adaptation of data input masks

General

• Parameter descriptions added

Layer data [E2LAYER]

• Ground unit (GROUNDUNIT) added to the 'Layer data' and 'Rock description' tabs

Adaptation of the standard text in layouts (object type variables)

In the graphic element 'Well design', the borehole diameter (BLWIDE) and the internal diameter of the casing (ELWIDEI) are now displayed without decimal places by default for the standard 'DIN EN ISO (deutsch)', while the hole diameter / slit width (ELPERWID) for casings is now displayed with two decimal places:
