Application of information modeling technology in geotechnics

Abstract

Geotechnics is an essential component of construction and engineering that involves studying how rock and soil interact with structures. Borehole drilling and sample collections are traditional methods used to collect subsurface data, but they are time-consuming, expensive, and only cover a small area. Information modeling technology can address these challenges by building intricate digital models of subsurface conditions that are more accurately and effectively used to design and analyze structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams. This article discusses the main stages of creating an information model of a geotechnical object, including preparatory work, preliminary tests and work volume determination, field tests, and laboratory tests. The resulting digital engineering-geological model should include the geometric dimensions of the investigated soil mass and the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soils in the IFC data format.
