Abstract (EN)

This study presents a Geographical information System (GIS) application for evaluating geotechnical properties in Kahramanmaraş city, Turkey. Geotechnical investigations in the city were carried out both in situ and laboratory. 287 boreholes in the city were drilled in order to perform Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), and to define the physical properties of the soils obtained from these boreholes. In this study, maps for SPT-N, bearing capacity, liquefaction potential, Soil water table, and (Vs30) have been produced by using a GIS based computer software. Accordingly, it is expected that the complied GIS maps could be effectively used by researchers and engineers for further studies on the purpose of urban planning.
