Elk is a free geotechnical platform for evaluating tests, modeling soils, and designing structures. It integrates all project steps with a unified data approach and extensible plugin system.

Top Recommended Alternative

  • Pros

    • Supports various in-situ and laboratory testing imports.
    • Offers flexible soil modeling from simple logs to 3D.
    • Facilitates design of diverse geotechnical infrastructure.
    • Features 3D earth map and depth viewer interaction.
    • Extensible with free and commercial plugins.

  • Cons

    • Plugin functionality may vary in complexity.
    • Requires specific plugins for detailed evaluation.
    • Geomechanical properties are plugin-dependent.

Developer’s Description

By Sharpergeo
Evaluate tests, model soils, design structures for your geotechnical projects.
Elk is a free geotechnical platform that can be extended with either free or/and commercial plugins.

evaluate tests, model soils, design structures.

A single solution for all the steps of a geotechnical project:One type of data, several representationsTest, soil model, infrastructure: easily view and interact with 3D earth map,depth viewer.

Testing- In-situ testing (pressuremeters, static or dynamicpenetrometers, drillings, logs),- Laboratory testing (triaxial, oedometer).Tests are imported, georeferenced in the platform andvisualized.Evaluation is carried out using specific plugins.

Soil modelsDepending on needs:- Simple lithological logs including average values withineach layer,- 2D geological cross-sections ,- More complex 3D models.Geomechanical properties are associated with thesemodels. Models are built eather from tests or fromscratch. Models are then being used to designinfrastructure.

Infrastructure - geotechnical aspects- Shallow foundations,- Deep foundations (piles, micro-piles),- Monopile foundations,- Roads, structures,- Retaining walls (anchored, slurry walls, ...)Plugins enable infrastructure design.
