Create a D-Foundations soil profile using GEOLIB+

GEOLIB+ contains functionality that lets the user create a D-Foundations profile using inputs from GEOLIB+. To do that the user needs to read and interpretate a cpt using the GEOLIB+ module.

# import relevant packages
from pathlib import Path
from geolib_plus.gef_cpt import GefCpt
from geolib_plus.robertson_cpt_interpretation import RobertsonCptInterpretation

cpt_file_gef = Path("cpt", "gef", "test_cpt.gef")
# initialize model
cpt_gef = GefCpt()
cpt_gef.read(cpt_file_gef)
cpt_gef.pre_process_data()
# interpret data
interpreter = RobertsonCptInterpretation()
cpt_gef.interpret_cpt(interpreter)

Simply by using the function create_profile_for_d_foundations() , the user can produce the profile and soils, inputs that are required for setting up a DFoundations GEOLIB model. Note that:

  1. The layers produced by the create_profile_for_d_foundations() function have their depths taken from the cpt.depth_merged variable.

  2. The soils procuded have names which are taken from the cpt.lkithology_merged value.

  3. Function create_profile_for_d_foundations() does not fill out soil parameters automatically.

from geolib_plus.geolib_connections import DFoundationsConnector
# run test
profile, soils = DFoundationsConnector.create_profile_for_d_foundations(cpt_gef)

After generating the profile, soils from the cpt the user can parse them in a GEOLIB model. This can be demostrated in the following example. Note that in the following code block the DFoundations model is not created from scratch but parsed from an arleady existing file. The new file can be later serialized.

import geolib

# initialize geolib model
test_dfoundations = Path("geolib_example.foi")
assert test_dfoundations.is_file()
dfoundations_model = geolib.models.DFoundationsModel()
# parse
dfoundations_model.parse(test_dfoundations)
# add soils from cpt
for soil in soils:
    dfoundations_model.add_soil(soil)
# add profile to the dfoundations model
profile_name = dfoundations_model.add_profile(profile)
# save updated file
dfoundations_model.serialize(
    Path(
        "added_cpt_model.foi",
    )
)

By opening the created DFoundations file the inputted profile and soils can be inspected.
