Synopsis:

Over the past decade, the construction industry is creating more and more digital data such as AGS data format, etc.. To properly manage all of these data, some techniques have been used in computer programming to help our daily tasks to optimize ELS, piling design, geological reviews and many more. Combining all of this information into BIM we can create a fully digitized project to help all work stages from design to construction. This technical talk mainly discusses how to use those techniques in the automation of geotechnical design.
