David Fischer

03/28/2025

SO-Shear by Soil Office Software Group simplifies complex shear force calculations for engineers, offering an intuitive interface and robust analytical tools.

'SO-Shear' is aimed at the evaluation of direct shear tests (laboratory and insitu). It has a user-friendly interface and lots of smart capabilities are implemented. Individual tabs are assigned for project information (including basic information, borings and samples) and tests. In addition to test data and corresponding calculations, software outputs are available in 12 formats.
Note that direct shear tests could randomly be generated based on user-defined criteria.
