I have recently obtained a copy of the above for evaluation
purposes. While it is simple to input figures and the output is
reasonably easy to understand, how the program gets from input to
output is a mystery with no real indication given under the help
command.
I have only had two weeks to evaluate this program. A search on
the internet did not provide any useful information and there is
no time to purchase the ASTM code on RBCA, which may not help in
any case.
Can anyone help with the following:
Do many use this toolkit or RBCA criteria on a regular basis?
How applicable is this to UK practice?
Where on can I find information on the algorithms and formulae used in
calculating the results?
Why is lead not included in the list of contaminants in the toolkit (at
least it is not in the evaluation copy I have been sent)?
Is it possible to change the default values to reflect UK practice more
closely?
Is the manual you get when you buy the program just a reiteration of the
help command or is it useful?
I have until the 19 September to complete my evaluation of this product and
any help on the above would be most appreciated.
