    Geographic Information System (GIS) Use in Geotechnical Engineering

    New search for: Player, R. S. V.

    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for organizing, analyzing, and presenting spatial data. GIS can be used by geotechnical engineers to aid preliminary assessment through final geotechnical design. This paper introduces GIS and applications of the technology. GIS tools can be used to integrate existing data with project specific data; identify potential geological hazards; plan and track field work; create maps and figures; and improve communication. These tools can help identify potential barriers to project completion early in the design process that may help to avoid later costly redesign. Actual projects utilizing geotechnical applications of GIS are presented to illustrate.
