Versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7 - General Adaptations

General Adaptations - Versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7

With the release of object type versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7, both major and minor adjustments were made to the object type Geotechnical Investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018) [ENISO002] and its associated geotechnical data types.

These changes include:

• Adaptations to DIN 18196 (2023)
• Adaptations to DIN 4023 (2023)
• Improvements to dictionaries, layouts, visualization, data input, and output formats

This page describes the general adaptations to the object type. Structural changes to geotechnical data types are documented separately and should be reviewed before updating.

Reference: Corrections

Adjustment of the Output for System Variables

The output of the system variables:

• $TRPLUS (+ / and)
• $TRMINUS (− / to)

is now displayed without inverted commas.

Discontinuities

• Multiple keys can now be entered in the field Roughness (TF_RAUIG)

Screenshot placeholder: E2_discontinuities_roughness.png

• The default value for the input field Type of structure (TYP_TF) has been removed This enables the deletion of an existing layer.

The Discontinuities input form, with multiple keys (e,r) entered in the Roughness field - the resulting "planar, rough" description appears in the layer summary bar.

Adaptation to DIN 18196 (2023)

Soil Groups

Three new soil groups according to DIN 18169 (2023) have been added to the dictionary:

Dictionary: (E2) Soil group [E2BOHGR]

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

Adaptation to DIN 4023 (2023)

Adaptation of Dictionaries for Major and Secondary Components

Major Components

Dictionary: (E2) Major components [E2PSTYPE]

The following changes were implemented:

• Added entries:

  • coarse silt
  • large boulder
• Standard text for organic soil [EN ISO] changed from OR to O (only for the standard DIN EN ISO (deutsch))
• English translation for DIN EN ISO (deutsch) adapted (previously displayed in capital letters)

Secondary Components

Dictionary: (E2) Secondary components [E2SSTYPE]

The following changes were implemented:

• Added entry:

  • coarse silty
• Standard text changes (only for DIN EN ISO (deutsch)):

  • organic [DIN]: h -> o
  • organic [EN ISO]: h -> o

Adaptation of Fill Patterns

Fill patterns have been adapted to match the colour values defined in DIN 4023.

For the standard DIN EN ISO (deutsch), fill patterns were updated for the following dictionaries:

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

Old (left) versus new (right) fill patterns for Silt, Limestone, Sandstone, Granite, Monzonite, Rhyolite, Amphibolite, Greenschist, and Hornfels - recoloured to the DIN 4023 colour values.

Reference: Visualisation adaptations

Adaptation of the Display for WRT Cutting Conditions

New visualisations were introduced for the following conditions:

• Highly jointed / Very highly jointed (graphic type 46)
• Liquid (graphic type 45)

This was achieved by adapting the dictionary:

Dictionary: (E2) Condition WRT cuttings [E2BOHGUT]

Borehole-log visualisation of the new cutting conditions - "Limestone, highly jointed" (left) and "Topsoil, liquid" (right).

Adaptation of the Display for Weathering Grade

A new visualisation was introduced for the weathering stage Residual soil (graphic type 43) for the standard DIN EN ISO (German).

Dictionary: (E2) Weathering grades [E2VERWIT]

For visualisation, the graphic element Special symbol with the special symbol type Weathering grade can be used.

Borehole-log visualisation of the residual-soil weathering grade using the Special symbol graphic element - "fine Sand, silty, residual soil".

Adaptation of Sample Visualisation

Samples of category A-E are now displayed uniformly in full colour for the standards:

• DIN EN ISO (deutsch)
• INT (english)

Exception: Water samples

Screenshot placeholder: E2_samples_categoy_A-E.png

Sample-type legend - categories A-E shown uniformly in full colour, with the water sample as the open-triangle exception.

New Fields / Parameters

Layer Data [E2LAYER]

• Ground unit (GROUNDUNIT)

Well Design Data - Casing [E2WDCAS]

• Diameter nominal (ELDNWIDE)

Adjustment of Field Lengths

General Data [E2GENER]

• Reference (AKTENZ): 20 -> 40 characters
• Borehole number / short name (SHORTNAME): 15 -> 25 characters
• Functional supervision (SUPVIS): 50 -> 100 characters
• Name of borehole (LONGNAME): 40 -> 50 characters

Layer Data [E2LAYER]

• Additional comments / layer comments (NOTELAYER): 100 -> 254 characters

Adjustment of Output Formats

Well Design Data

Data types: E2WDCAS, E2WDHOLE, E2WDSPCL, E2WDGEN, E2WDBCKF

The display format in the data management method has been adjusted from 0 to 2 decimal places for all of the following parameters:

• Diameters
• Slit widths
• Slit lengths
• Wall thicknesses

Adjustment of Long Texts

Layer Data

Data type: E2LAYER

• The long text for the field GROUP has been renamed from "group" to "soil group"

Adjustment of Dictionaries

Organic Components

Dictionary: (E2) Organic components [E2ORGMAT]

• A gradation has been added for the key humous:

  • 2 - slightly
  • 4 - very
• Translations have been added for:

  • slightly ($TRCODE2B)
  • very ($TRCODE4B)

Layer data input form - the Organic components field with key hum2 entered, producing "slightly humous" in the layer description.

Sample Type

Dictionary: (E2) Sample type [E2PROBAR]

• Code wlf has been added for thermal conductivity test

Adaptation of Data Input Masks

General

Adaptation of the Standard Text in Layouts

(Object Type Variables)

In the graphic element Well design, the default display has been adjusted for the standard DIN EN ISO (deutsch):

• Borehole diameter (BLWIDE) is displayed without decimal places
• Internal casing diameter (ELWIDEI) is displayed without decimal places
• Hole diameter / slit width for casings (ELPERWID) is displayed with two decimal places

New text macro:
