DEV-663: Particle size distribution – Display of all deviations in main PSD-dialogue
The visibility of deviations within the PSD-dialogue has been improved. In case of deviations within the de-tailed dialogue for “Soil properties”, a red flag will appear on the according button. The field for highlighting the deviations from the grading itself now includes also these soil properties values. So, every deviation with-in the PSD-dialogue will now highlight in this field. When clicking on “Deviations”, all these non-conformities will be listed.
DEV-795: New “Remarks”-field for several test dialogues
A new field for “Remarks” has been implemented for following tests:
• Impact Value/ Los Angeles/ Micro-Deval for untreated material
• Impact Value/ Los Angeles/ Micro-Deval after boiling
• Impact Value/ Los Angeles/ Micro-Deval after freezing and thawing
• Impact Value/ Los Angeles/ Micro-Deval after heat treatment

DEV-755: Lightweight Contaminators – New row for AASHTO T113
When selecting the standard “AASHTO T113” for the “Lightweight Contaminators” test, a new row will appear to display the “cumulative / final content of lightweight contaminators”. Cell type has been added to table “Ag-gregate declaration (# 16B8)”.
DEV-941: Particle size distribution – New sieving / riffling type
The old sieving type “Splitting acc. to AASHTO T27/T30” has been renamed to “Splitting acc. to AASHTO T27/T30 – P4/R4”
A new sieving type “Splitting acc. to AASHTO T27/T30 – Default” has been implemented which works equal to the method within the Asphalt FPC module.
Reporting
DEV-862: Aggregate declaration (#16B8) – New cell type for reporting sieve name or sieve size
There is a new cell type in the “Aggregate declaration (#16B8)” for reporting either the sieve name or the sieve size, depending on which option has been selected for the sieve set of the according sample. (“Column: Sieve name or sieve size [mm]”)
DEV-666: Aggregate declaration (#16B8) – New Column types for max load on sieve
New column types for reporting the max. load per sieve have been implemented into table “Aggregate decla-ration (#16B8)”. They can be found under following path: Grading/Column types for retained and passing par-ticles
• Column: Max load on sieve (200 mm diameter – acc. to 933-1) [g]
• Column: Max load on sieve (300 mm diameter – acc. to 933-1) [g]

DEV-807: Aggregate statistics (#36B8) – New cell type for percentage of non-conforming samples
Table “Aggregate statistics (#36B8)” contains three new cell types for evaluating samples according to the parameters (column types) which have been chosen within that table:
• [80] Percentage of samples with deviations according to the requirements chosen within this table
• [81] Number of samples with deviations according to the requirements chosen within this table
• [82] In more than 10% of the samples, non-conforming deviations from target values have been detected, ac-cording to the requirements chosen within this table (x, if yes)
DEV-966: Aggregate receiving inspection – statistics (#25228) – New option for “Number of decimal places”
Table #25228 has a new option for formatting the grading values. Two settings are now available: “Default” (works as before) and “Decimal places acc. to EN 933-1” (reports to the whole number except for the smallest sieve).
ASPHALT
Master Data

The archive functionality has been added to the new “Reclaimed asphalt selection”-dialogue to be able to ar-chive several datasets at once.
DEV-811: Asphalt Declaration – Decimal places for binder content acc. to declaration
If the Design method “SuperPave” and Differing rules “Indiana” has been selected, the decimal places of the “resulting binder content” (on “Asphalt binder and mixture” page) will be set to two.
In addition, the “Filler/binder ratio” in the Asphalt FPC and Mix Design will be set to two decimal places.
Mix Design
DEV-633: Mix Design and FPC – New test “I-FIT”
A new US-test has been implemented for the Asphalt Mix Design (“Trial Mixes” page) as well as for the As-phalt FPC (“Mixture” page): “I-FIT (Fracture Energy)”. For this purpose, also two separate bulk density determi-nations have been added to these dialogues (“I-FIT: Bulk density – Stage 1” & “I-FIT: Bulk density – Stage 2”).
The new dialogue for I-FIT (Fracture Energy) provides also a document management to store test-related in-formation. Data entry looks like this:
Cell types have been implemented into following tables/paths:
“Asphalt QC: Binder and Mixture Data (#B128)”:
• Mixture Data / Single Values for the Mixture Data / Row
• Mixture Data / I-FIT– Single values /…
“Asphalt Declaration (#4148)“:
• Test results of test type and Min/Max-values according to regulation / individual values I-FIT /…
DEV-1024: Reporting – Performance Space diagrams (PSD)
Two new diagrams for I-FIT (#7C8) and IDEAL-CT (#8C8) have been implemented into the preset examples for Asphalt Mix Design and Production QC. These diagrams are used for determining compliance of a single trial blend with its trial point. This diagram is also used for optimizing a mix design by comparing multiple trial blends.
Diagram (#7C8) – I-FIT Fracture Energy
The Y-axis represents the values of “Wheel tracking: RD Rut depth [mm]” from the asphalt specification. The horizontal dashed line represents the max value: “Wheel tracking: RD Rut depth [mm]” from the asphalt speci-fication. The X-axis represents the values for I-FIT Fracture Energy. The horizontal dashed line represents the minimum “I-FIT Fracture Energy” from the asphalt specification. The diagram can be found under “Docu-ment/Template Toolbox/Asphalt/Mix Design”: Page 19 (first diagram) & under “Document/Template Toolbox/Asphalt/Production QC: Statistics”: Page 5 (first diagram).
Diagram (#8C8) – IDEAL-CT
The Y-axis represents the values of “Wheel tracking: RD Rut depth [mm]” from the asphalt specification. The horizontal dashed line represents the max value: “Wheel tracking: RD Rut depth [mm]” from the asphalt speci-fication. The X-axis represents the values for “IDEAL-CT (Cracking Tolerance Index)”. The horizontal dashed line represents the minimum “IDEAL-CT (Cracking Tolerance Index)” from the asphalt specification. The dia-gram can be found under “Document/Template Toolbox/Asphalt/Mix Design”: Page 19 (second diagram) & under Document “Document/Template Toolbox/Asphalt/Production QC: Statistics”: Page 5 (second diagram).
Quality Control
DEV-816: Aggregate page – Implementation of Flakiness test
The “Flakiness” test has been added to the Asphalt Quality Control module on the “Aggregate data” page for direct data entry as well as for using the detailed test dialogue. Cell types were already available in table #B128 because of the joint use with the Asphalt FPC module.
FPC
DEV-795: New Remark field for Impact Value, Los Angeles, Micro-Deval and Crushing test
A new Remark field for the following aggregate tests has been implemented: Impact Test, Crushing Test (ACV), Los Angeles Test (LA), and Micro-Deval Coefficient (MDE).
The corresponding cell types have been implemented into “Asphalt QC: Binder and mixture data (#B128)” table under the path "Aggregate".
DEV-92: Swelling – New standard “DIN EN 1744-4”
A new test standard „DIN EN 1744-4“ has been implemented into the Asphalt Quality Control (“Mixture data” page) as well as into the Asphalt FPC (“Mixture” page) for test “Water Susceptibility (Swelling) and Stability”. Now, three standards can be chosen from the dropdown: "EN 12697-34", "EN 1744-4" and "EN 1996, part 9 + 11". For the determination of the bulk density, the water density is now assumed and displayed as follows:
• For “EN 1996” with 1 (as before)
• For “EN 1744-4” with 0,997 (new)
• For “EN 12697” according to the formula 1,00025205 + (((7,59 * Water temperature) - (5,32 * Water temperature ²))) / 1000000 (new)
Info: If EN 12697 is selected, the water temperature must be entered, because it is part of the calculation for-mula.
Cell types are already available in table "Asphalt QC: Binder and mixture data (# B128)" under the path "Mix-ture/ Swelling and loss in stability".
DEV-752: Bulk density acc. to EN 12697-6 by dimensions – One additional decimal place
The data entry for measurements of Length/Width/Height has been extended by one decimal place, acc. to EN 12697-6. If “mm” has been selected, these data can be registered with one decimal place. If “cm” has been selected, two decimal places are now possible.
In addition, cell types have been adjusted accordingly in following tables:
“Asphalt QC: Binder and mixture data (#B128)”:
• Core properties/Bulk density – Single values
o [3862] Test date
o [3863] Tested by
• Mixture/Wheel tracking – Bulk density – Single values (Sample 1-4)
o [3860] Test date
o [3861] Tested by
„Asphalt Declaration (#4148)“:
• Type testing results and min/max values acc. to specification/Bulk density – Single values
o [5240] Test date
o [5241] Tested by
o [5242] Absorption [%]
o Specimen 1-4: Bulk specific density [%]
o Specimen 1-4: Bulk specific density (corrected) [%]
o Specimen 1-4: Absorption [%]
• Type testing results and min/max values acc. to specification/Wheel tracking – Bulk density – Single values
o [5255] Test date
o [5256] Tested by
The according paths now contain a cell type for “Voids [%]” and “Voids content [%] (1 decimal place)”. All further voids-related values will be reported according to the declaration’s settings.
DEV-921: Wheel tracking – Transfer of test results in FPC and Mix Design main dialogue for AASHTO T324-17
If standard “AASHTO T324-17” has been selected for the Wheel tracking test, following (mean) values will be transferred into the main dialogue (FPC and Mix Design):
• Wheel tracking: RD Rut depth [mm]
• Wheel tracking: Number of passes at max. impression [passes]
• Wheel tracking: SIP Stripping inflection point [passes]
DEV-989: Air voids – Acceptance of “0” as a valid result
If the calculated result for air voids were “0”, it would not be accepted as such and left empty. This has now been changed. A result of “0” will be accepted as a valid result and will therefore be displayed and reported.
KPI
DEV-876: New column for target binder content in “Product view binder”
A new column has been added to the Asphalt-KPI dialogue to show the target binder content for the accord-ing products. Here, the value of the last registered sample will be displayed. This column only appears, if the filter “Product view binder” has been selected.
Reporting
DEV-725: Print grading (#5128) – Diagram in example template for Asphalt FPC
The diagram “Print grading (#5128)” is now available on page 3 of the example template for Asphalt FPC.
DEV-1035: Asphalt, WeeklyOCLTable (#A148) – Cell types for reporting the test frequency group
The table for reporting the weekly OCL does now contain cell types for the test frequency group and its de-tails.
DEV-693: Asphalt, ConfVerTab (#9148) – New column type “Sampling location”
A new column type has been implemented into table "Asphalt, ConfVerTab (# 9148)" to report the “Sampling location” of the according sample.
DEV-803: Changes within decimal places + new cell types in table #B128 and #4148
Table #B128:
• Precision from 4 decimal places to 3 or from 1 decimal place to 0:
o [1478] Density of test liquid [g/cm³]
o [1479] Density of test liquid [kg/cm³]
o [3268] Density of test liquid (calculated) [g/cm³]
Table #4148:
• “Type testing results and min/max values acc. to specification / Maximum density of mixture – Immersion Weighing”:
o [4805] Test date
o [4806] Tested by
• Change of existing cell types under “Type testing results and min/max values acc. to specification / Mixture Max Density”
o [3005] Specimen 1: Mass of pycnometer + test liquid [g]
o [3006] Specimen 2: Mass of pycnometer + test liquid [g]
DEV-970: Mixture statistics (#5228) – New Column Type for “Delivery Ticket”
New column type for “Column: Delivery ticket” in table “Mixture statistics (#5228)” has been implemented.
DEV-702: Asphalt Product List (#8418) – New column type “Additional asphalt description”
The table for reporting the “Asphalt Product List (#8418)” has a new column type for the “Additional asphalt description (Declaration)” from the “Asphalt Product Declaration” dialogue.
DEV-1133: Asphalt QC: Binder and mixture data (#B128) – New cell type “Binder content: Non-standard deviation (>= 0,01)”
Table “Asphalt QC: Binder and mixture data (#B128)” has a new cell type for reporting the deviations of the binder content from a deviation greater than 0,01 (“Binder content: Non-standard deviation (>= 0,01)”).
The existing column type for evaluating the non-standard deviation of the binder content only reports a value greater than 0,05. Therefore, this existing column type has been renamed to indicate what it actually does: “Column: Non-standard deviation (binder content deviation >= 0,05)”.
CONCRETE
FPC
DEV-810: Summary of Production Data and Test Results – New columns for fresh concrete data
The production data overview now offers more columns for the fresh concrete data: “Sampling time”, “Con-struction element” and “Sampling location”.
Testing Register
DEV-820: Unit model for Concrete Testing Register
The Testing Register 1 has been extended to support several units at once. The columns will display the avail-able units and a tooltip on the according field/value will show the unit for which the sample has been regis-tered.
Reporting
DEV-738: Reporting from Site Quality Control – Reporting sequence of specimens adjusted
When activating the checkbox “Merge into one report” for printing test reports, the specimens will be sorted by sampling date first and then by sampling time.
DEV-915: Concrete – Journal (#6317) – New mode for combining concrete data within rows
A new mode has been implemented into the table “Concrete – Journal (#6317)” for reporting from the Site Quality Control module. With this mode, the reporting mechanism for rows can be defined to report concise data for the concrete product, including concretings and sample data. For this, option “3 – Output of con-cretes consecutively in a joint document” has to be selected when reporting and the used table needs to have the new “Mode 02: Concrete products (with concise concreting and sample data).
DEV-1145: The calculations and representations of values (GUI + document output) are now generally based on the UCM (units’ model)
The calculations and representations of values (GUI + document output) are now generally based on the UCM (units’ model)
The default SI model was defined in such a way that the previous behavior is mapped as far as possible, in particular the precision of the individual types of values.
However, there are exceptions where the previous program behavior differs from the current one. These are improvements or the elimination of previous misconduct (which was only visible in rare cases).
An example. instead, the previous storage of the Strength [N/mm²] result value is not rounded and the use of this value in subsequent evaluations (e.g., averaging for the Concrete - Journal).
However, the averaging must generally be based on the individual values rounded according to the standard.
The UCM model defines the precision for each type of value, and the values are rounded accordingly before they are saved and used.
- CS: 1 decimal place (Standard)
- FS: as before (according to the standard: 1 decimal place)
- TSS: 2 decimal places (according to the standard would be: on 0.05)
- MoE: The rounding to full 10 (standard)
Interfaces
DEV-926: Implementation of import functionality for concrete recipes
The dialogue “Mass Data Operations for Concrete Mix Designs” now offers a new “Excel-Import” button for one-time import of old concrete recipe data. This is only available, if an according license is available.
