Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers (MRCE) uses computers for engineering analysis, design, CAD drafting, data collection, and report presentation. Proprietary in-house programs have been developed for analysis of mat foundations, braced excavations, settlement, and wick drains. Commercial computer programs used for engineering analysis include:
- PLAXIS – finite element modeling for soil-structure interaction
- RISA-2D and RISA-3D – structural analysis and design
- PCACOL – analysis and design of reinforced concrete column sections
- IRRCOL – analysis and design of irregular shaped reinforced concrete column sections
- FLORIDA-PIER – finite element analysis of piers and shafts for vertical and lateral loads, and simulated dynamic analysis
- SAFE – finite element analysis of mats and slabs
- SHAKE – an equivalent-linear earthquake response analysis of layered sites
- MODFLOW 2D & 3D – two and three-dimensional groundwater modeling
- ArcViewGIS – Geographic Information System (GIS) for displaying digital maps and storing and analyzing data geographically
- SLOPE/W – finite element analysis of slope stability
- SEEP/W – two-dimensional groundwater and seepage analysis in profile, used with SIGMA/W for consolidation analysis.
- SIGMA/W – finite element stress-deformation analysis of soil masses and slopes
- TEMP/W – finite element analysis for ground freezing design
- SIGMAPLOT – advanced spreadsheet software for engineering graphics, data regression and curve fitting
- LPILE – finite difference analysis of laterally loaded piles
- GROUP – finite difference analysis of laterally loaded pile groups
- DYNAPILE – computes the dynamic stiffness of single piles or pile groups
- GRLWEAP & DRIVEN – analysis of driving stresses in piles
- ROCSCIENCE – 2D and 3D analysis and design programs for civil engineering
- STRESS – elastic analysis of surface loads on a semi-infinite mass
- PCA Mats – Analysis of mat foundations
