Geotechnical Cartography, GIS, Foundations, Soil propertiesAbstract
Subsoil properties study is crucial in order to design foundations and to prevent structural pathologies. In this paper, 459 explorations of Badajoz subsoil were analyzed; they were carried out during two decades. A bank of data creation was described, as well as the elaboration of a set of maps. They constitute the Basic Geotechnical Map of Badajoz. In these maps, the most representative characteristics of each stratum are also collected from a building perspective. In the study eight representative stratums were found. The geotechnical cartography has been obtained graphically by isolines, indicating the position and thickness of the stratums mentioned above. The study could be of interest both to technicians competent in the field of building and urban planning.
