Geographic Information System, GIS, Geotechnical Database, Civil InfrastructureAbstract
Civil infrastructure as well as building foundation design depends primarily on the availability and accuracy of soil investigation data. The data from site and laboratory are vital for a safe and economical design for any kind of infrastructure or buildings. This paper describes the use of GIS in processing and presenting factual data of site investigation reports in formats that are meaningful to users especially geotechnical designer. The initial effort is carried out for Perak Tengah District in the State of Perak, Malaysia. In this study the site investigation reports are archived in an appropriate manner so it can be quickly retrieved by user at any time. In the second part, the data are stored in GIS system that can be processed and presented into maps describing some basic important data for designer at various depths. Thus, the data are available at any time and the systems will be a meaningful tool for geotechnical designers.Â
