The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) continues to improve its geotechnical data management policies and expand its use of digital data for geotechnical design. New advanced data-rich techniques and methodologies have been developed for geotechnical site characterization, including those recommended by the Advanced Geotechnical Methods in Exploration (A-GaME) program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Specifically, this research focused on the development and implementation of a web-based platform to efficiently visualize and interpret geotechnical data and help facilitate project delivery. The web-based plat form can incorporate geotechnical data from DOTD's Open Ground dataset, gINT files from consultants, and/or Data Interchange for Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Specialists (DIGGS) data files for analysis based on the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Section 10 and FHWA Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 5 (GEC-5) updates.
This research will focus on innovative practices to improve geotechnical data management, highlighting the development and implementation of a web-bas
