Abstract:
Geotechnical maps are widespread nowadays due to the existence of Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) and Global Position Systems
(GPS). These maps provide a powerful database and strong visual
presentation of data. The use of such maps will save effort, time, and provide
quick source of information for engineering projects, especially in civil
engineering field, such as construction of buildings, dams, roads, tunnels,
ground water, etc.. There are several types of geotechnical maps; however, the
map that is considered here is for allowable bearing capacity and proposed type
of foundation for the City of Nablus - Palestine. The importance of such a map
is the fast and simple access to the information regarding foundation,
allowable bearing capacity, problems due to site soil such as sliding,
potential swelling and shrinkage, and cavities. In addition, this map will help
in preliminary studies, feasibility studies, and land use policy.
