A Developing digital geotechnical maps using GIS Techniques (Review)

Abstract

The New software's that are used to collect and display data, analyze, process and produce maps, which is commonly used is the Geographic Information Systems program. It is a computer-based system that works to collect, maintain, store, analyses, output and distribute spatial data and information. These systems work to collect, enter, process, analyze, display and output spatial information. And descriptive, for specific goals, and helps in planning and decision-making with regard to agriculture, city planning, and housing expansion, in addition to reading the infrastructure of any city. This system enables us to enter geographical information (maps, aerial photographs, satellite visuals) and descriptive information (names, tables) and process it. (Correcting them from errors), storing them, retrieving them, inquiring about them, analyzing them spatially and statistically, and displaying them on a computer screen or on paper in the form of maps, reports, and graphs. This research aims to review previous studies according to which researchers produced different maps of all soil properties using geographic information systems and GPS systems. Investigators and construction workers work together to better understand the different soil layers and determine which layers of soil are most suitable for a structural foundation
