GJMeijer/DRAM: v0.1.1

Roots can stabilise slopes against shallow landslides by mobilising their mechanical strength. This package contains the R code implementation of the Dundee Root Analytical Model (DRAM) for calculation of mechanical root reinforcement as function of direct shear displacements in soil (version 0.1.1). This model accounts for elasto-plastic root behaviour, three-dimensional root orientations, root failure through breakage or slippage, and a dynamically changing shear zone thickness.
