• Abstract:
  This research project expanded on the three previous LTRC geotechnical database efforts to improve and advance geotechnical data management within the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. This project facilitated the implementation of Bentley’s OpenGround Cloud (OpenGround). The project uploaded historical boring log images and digital gINT project files to OpenGround, totaling over 2,500 projects, to establish the database. Custom templates facilitate data entry into KeyLAB, speed boring log requests, and ease analysis and quick log (i.e., soil and CPT) creation. The project embodied proper data management and followed the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) Data Interchange for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (DIGGS) standards. The efforts of this research will help preserve geotechnical data as an asset, fostering ease of access and use both today and into the future.
