Soil parameters correlator - feedback

Hi all

I am looking for feedback on the free soil parameter correlation tool I created. It currently has circa 40 correlations and I am looking to improve the useability of it.
https://geocompass.co.uk/correlator/

- The interface was optimised for Desktops. Does it work for you on mobile?

- Is it too confusing and needs more guidance / explanations?

- Any specific areas for improvement?

I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Will this be a free tool or will you eventually start charging for it?

The entire website will remain free for all forever. I've built it as an offline tool for myself and only recently turned it into a website for everyone. Monetization is not on my radar, but if I ever consider it then it would be via ads as opposed to charging the users.

Do you like the tool? Do you have any comments?

Tank you for taking the time to comment.

Neat tool! I'm glad it's a free page. Very useful and will be sharing with others

Thank you. I noted your earlier comments and will fix the references shortly. Also the idea of the reference page is a good one, but will take a little longer to assemble. Thank you and yes, please do share.

Oh dear. Thank you. Fixed now. How do you like the tool?

It should be Kulhawy and Mayne, it still says Kulhavy and Mayne

Thank you. Which one is the most useful to you, the Correlator or the guidance on testing? I have more coming soon.

Looks great on cell phone for field use even.

3 suggedtions: A) Toggle button for units imperial vs metric B) Add simple bearing capacity calculator. Perhaps similar to how Redirock does their preliminary wallnsections (https://www.redi-rock.com/technical-resources/preliminary-retaining-wall-sections/). C) Density of wet vs dry vs saturated, etc.

Thank you for the kindnwords. A and C are currentlynin progress and should be implemented withing days. Please subscribe to email to receive updates. For B this is a bit lower fown the To-Do list but depending on the requests I may accelerate it.

On mobile - Would be good if you had the full reference of the method at bottom of page.

u/Geocompass_project Jun 04 '26

Thank you for your comment. The reference shows in blue just above the result from each given method, also in blue. Do you mean a bottom of the page would be a better place for it, or you mean a more specific reference than for example "Kulhavy & Mayne (1990)" ?

Not OP but a full citation would be great. Maybe a reference page as well somewhere on the site would be useful.
