Abstract:

The knowledge of existing soil conditions prior to road and bridge construction can reduce construction cost, time, and headaches. The field data and laboratory results collected far in advance of project construction are often slow to reach the project designers because of the data’s volume, presentation, and storage methods. The current data storage method needed updating to allow for easy retrieval, also allowing for a more practical and accurate estimate of the site conditions. ; The project originated from the Geotechnical Design Section at the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) and their need to review historical geotechnical data prior to new design decisions. The database would also serve as a valuable reference resource, ultimately promoting a better road design.
