Abstract:Development of a comprehensive dynamic, geotechnical database is described. Computer software selected to program the client/server application in windows’ environment, components and structure of the geotechnical database, and primary factors considered in constructing the database are discussed. Oracle ®8i, PowerBuilder ®8, and Map Object ® software were used to construct the database, build graphical user interfaces (GUI), and embed roadway maps, respectively. Any number of users may use the database simultaneously. Twelve highway district offices and several central offices of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet are connected to the database. Data may be entered and retrieved dynamically in the client/server structure.
The main focus of the fourth of four, and current, study focused on soil and rock engineering data generated during geotechnical investigations and testing. Secondary components of the database include statistical analyzers and engineering applications for performing "online" analysis of data, developing correlations between different soil parameters, and performing engineering analysis and designs.
