  • Abstract:
    Archive geotechnical reports in the department contain valuable information such as site maps, ; photographs, borehole data, laboratory and field test data, and design analyses. A proper use of the ; information may bring significant cost saving for future projects. Currently, thousands of archive ; geotechnical reports are stored in paper file boxes in the material division of the department. The current ; way of file storage makes it very difficult to search and distribute the geotechnical information. The ; objective of this study is to develop a prototype geotechnical report database to allow easy report ; archiving and accessing for the department. The research team investigated the practice and recent ; development of other state DOTs and assessed the efficiency of the current file storage in the material ; division. The prototype database developed currently allows all computers under ODOT network to ; search and view about one hundred geotechnical reports in pdf format. The database was developed ; using Microsoft Access. However, the information in the database can also be accessed from an ; equivalent KML file using Google Earth, Google Map, ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS explorer or other ; compatible programs. With the KML file, users can view all available reports on a map and access the ; PDF reports by clicking the hyperlink on the map.
