Software for the Estimation of Shear Wave Velocity

The characteristics of the program ShearVave© are presented below.

The program is very easy to use, and will not expire (will work indefinitely -- except the demo version, of course).

It will work under all versions of Windows (but not DOS, UNIX, etc.).

Features of ShearVave©

It estimates the shear wave velocity of a soil using empirical equations. Both lab-based Hardin-Drnevich and field-based Ohto - Goto formulas are used.

See the main program window

Features:

  • Both field and lab based correlations used
  • All 15 Ohto - Goto formulas are included
  • Change any parameter and Enter/Click for immediate re-calculation,
  • Consistent SI unit system
  • Very easy to use,
  • References included,
  • Nicely formatted printer output.
