Abstract:

In conducting geotechnical site investigations, large volumes of subsurface information and associated test data ; are generated. The current practice relies on paper-based filing systems that are often difficult and cumbersome ; to access by users. Misplaced files, deteriorated paper records, incomplete documentation, and a lack of ; awareness that certain data even exists have all contributed to inefficient or incomplete utilization of existing ; data. Furthermore, the pressures to expedite project delivery only heighten the need for more efficient data ; management practices and more productive field data collection methods. ; This research task has been a coordinated effort between the GeoResearch Group (GRG) and Geotechnical ; Services (GS), focusing on realizing internal operational efficiencies. Current practices in field data collection, ; laboratory testing, and boring log creation have been examined for potential improvements. This research task ; focused on three critical components of developing an effective data management system: (1) data modeling, ; (2) data collection, and (3) data exchange and dissemination.
