摘要: |
Knowledge of surface and subsurface geology and geotechnical properties is fundamental to the planning and development of transportation systems. Through dynamic coupling of readily available real GIS coverage and subsurface borehole data stored in a relational database, we have created a spatially referenced digital catalog of borehole data for Providence, Rhode Island. The borehole database is populated with data derived from RI DOT geotechnical reports and supplemental data from the US Geological Survey ground-water site inventory system, and local storm-water and sewer projects. Most of these data were previously maintained in paper format, making historical or inter-project data comparisons virtually impossible. Unification of these data in a single relational database yields two primary benefits: (1) historical data are readily accessible for review and can therefore be easily incorporated into the planning stages of new projects; and (2) sophisticated analysis of the region becomes possible with access to data from multiple projects with both spatial and temporal coverage. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Rhode Island Dept. of Transportation, Providence.
