Prof. James Kaklamanos of Merrimack College composed a geotechnical engineering software package within the statistical language and environment R.
The software package, aptly named geotech, has the capability to perform a range of geotechnical engineering computations, and is freely available for use in the geotechnical engineering field. An additional benefit of R is the wide availability of add-on user-contributed software codes, referred to as "packages," which perform calculations in specific areas of study. The geotech package is a compilation of functions for performing calculations and creating plots that commonly arise in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics, and is the first R package to provide broad coverage in this area.
The types of calculations that are currently included are:
Geotechnical engineering students, educators, researchers, and practitioners will find this package useful.
