• 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.
