Automatic geotechnical data management
Summary Different approaches have been utilized to give a geotechnical image of the “land”. It is the authors' belief that cartographical mapping might not be the best way to represent geotechnical characteristics of areas, therefore they have chosen numerical representation by means of a 64 K-bytes minicomputer. The input data are three-thousand borings carried out in the Venetia region (North-East Italy) of which the boring-log data and the mechanical characteristics of soils belong to the archive of the Institute of Marine Constructions and Geotechnique of the University of Padua. Such input stored in the mass memory of the computer are retrieved when necessary. The method consists in the choice of an “area” containing zones of which geotechnical information is needed. For this purpose these areas are defined on a videographic display by means of two geographical coordinates which are the central point of a rectangular space with constant side-ratio. The extension of the area is defined by a scale factor; at this point all the borings existing within the area are displayed as bright dots on the screen. When stratigraphical and geotechnical information is wanted the borings of interest must be selected by a graphic input. The procedure is interactive and even an unskilled operator may utilize the programmes.
