Web Apps For Engineers is a collection of geotechnical engineering calculation tools which are developed for research dissemination and teaching. In this IAA-funded project, we collaborated with Professor Susan Gourvenec and researchers from the Intelligent & Resilient Ocean Engineering group to develop apps that allow users to engage directly with published methods and frameworks. These apps facilitate initial sizing calculations and enable users to explore how variations in design inputs (such as geotechnical properties and loads) affect design outputs (such as foundation or anchor geometry and resistance). Over three phases of work, we modernised and expanded Web Apps For Engineers. We updated the code framework to improve the reliability and robustness and added five new apps. We added server-side functionality to allow for user account creation and login, and to enable more complex calculations to be executed, including neural networks.
“Collaborating with the RSG has been enabling and a fantastic experience. The RSEs are professional, highly skilled, engaged, and friendly. They deliver the agreed-upon scope of work and offer valuable suggestions for improvements based on their extensive domain knowledge.”
