Information Systems in Construction

The paper presents the results of the development of complex technology of engineering-geological surveys, geotechnical investigations and design of foundations. It is shown that the currently existing information systems for data transmission and processing, information and measurement systems make it possible not only to control the process of soil testing and process the test data, but also to perform simultaneous calculations of the bases by the limit states. Modern methods of in-situ tests of soils, such as cone penetration test and dynamic penetration test, make it possible to obtain continuous information about the physical and mechanical properties of soils in depth within the study area. Using known or local correlation equations and the measured parameters of sounding, the characteristics of the soil are found and the calculation of the bases of buildings and structures are made directly under the field conditions. The proposed digital technology combines engineering-geological, geotechnical investigations and design of the foundations of structures in a single production process. The result is a reduction in the design time of buildings and structures due to the use of modern methods of in-situ testing of soils with automated process control and interpretation of test data and subsequent calculations of the bases of buildings by the limit states.
