Computerized automatic geotechnical mapping from a geoscientific data bank
Summary This report proposes a method for spatial analysis of geoscientific data. To accomplish this analysis, the vast resources of electronic data processing were put to use enabling the user to directly assess, manipulate and retrieve data to his specifications. The data originated from the Hamilton urban area in Ontario. From the conceptual point of view, the proposed geoscientific data handling method can be situated somewhere between the North American approach, which is not really concerned with statistical handling of data prior to mapping, and the European approach willing to venture into sophisticated interpolation methods. Needs identified by groups of users consulted suggested a new approach to geoscientific data banks: the retrieval of data by the user himself. The proposed new method of compiling geoscientific data banks from existing information represent an innovation. This method evolved from the many corrections and modifications that the Hamilton geoscientific data bank had to undergo in order to be usable for efficient data retrieval. By specifying the nature of the information to be compiled and the values to be retained as well as the method to follow in the trnasfer of data from soil reports to data sheets it is possible to prepare, at compilation, a data bank for efficient data handling and foreseen retrievals.
