GEOSITE: Geotechnical Site Investigation Methods. User's Guide (for Microcomputers)
The objective of GEOSITE is to provide guidance, from geotechnical engineering experts, for the selection of equipment and methods for a subsurface investigation at an individual exploration site for a dredging project. It is assumed that the number and locations of the exploration sites have previously been established and that there is a general knowledge of the types of sediments expected to be present at the site. The GEOSITE program recommends: (1) sediment sampling methods; (2) in-situ strength testing methods, considering all of the appropriate sampler/testing method combinations; (3) methods for accessing the sampling/testing depth; (4) suitable field work platforms; and (5) material identification tests. The reasoning for the recommendations is given in 'Discussion' texts. GEOSITE is primarily intended to be used by persons familiar with basic geotechnical site investigation and testing methods, such as a Corp of Engineers civil engineer or engineering geologist. GEOSITE may also be useful to dredging contractors, either for internal use or for use by a private geotechnical firm in their employ. Both the Windows and the MS-DOS versions are user friendly and support mouse input. Input is provided through a group of consultation screens, each containing a question with multiple-choice answers.
