Web-Based Tool to Advance Geotechnical Data Interchange and Reliability-Based Site Characterization

Web-Based Visualization A web-based platform has been implemented by the DOTD for several large highway and bridge design and construction projects. These larger projects focused on the ability to interactively visualize and interpret data from soil borings, CPTs, geophysical data, and conventional field survey data. This project will standardize this visualization process for all projects. GEC-5: This project will also demonstrate how geotechnical engineers and consultants can efficiently quantify the uncertainty of site conditions and develop soil design models based on statistical analysis of soil boring data. The uncertainty model can be interactively evaluated based on the methods presented in FHWA's Geotechnical Engineering Circular (GEC) No. 5 - Geotechnical Site Characterization. DIGGS: Additionally, the project will demonstrate how DIGGS can be implemented into the web-based platform for standardized geotechnical data exchange. The implementation of DIGGS to efficiently increase the quality of geotechnical data deliverables as a digital asset. Other benefits of implementing DIGGS in geotechnical data management, visualization, and geotechnical design process will also be researched.
