What it helps you prepare

  • Add and manage multiple boreholes in one drawing.
  • Create geological sections between boreholes.
  • Show strata, groundwater and geological hatch patterns.
  • Calculate pile bearing capacity and prepare a reinforcement drawing and schedule.
  • Use JABEDIT to change a generated object's data and redraw it in place.

Typical inputs

  • Borehole elevation, layer depths and groundwater levels.
  • Borehole spacing and layer correspondence.
  • Soil properties, pile geometry and load.

Typical outputs

  • Borehole logs and geological sections.
  • Pile drawings, a calculation table and reinforcement schedule.
  • Data stored in the drawing for later editing.

Start in AutoCAD

Start with JAB. JABSEC opens the sections page directly and JABPILE opens the pile page. JABUI changes the dialog-label mode.
