TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R02-RW-2: Development of the Geoconstruction Information and Technology Selection Guidance System describes the development of a web-based information and guidance system, Geotechnical Solutions for Transportation Infrastructure, designed to access critical information on geoconstruction technologies.

The web-based tool is intended to provide the information necessary to determine the applicability of specific geoconstruction technologies to specific situations, and then guide the user to supporting information needed to apply the selected technologies. The tool includes a geoconstruction technology catalog and selection system, as well as sections on geotechnical design philosophy and a geotechnical glossary. You must register before being granted access to the site. To register, click on “Not Registered” link.

Geotechnical Solutions for Soil Improvement, Rapid Embankment Construction, and Stabilization of the Pavement Working Platform, produced under this same project, describes efforts toward mitigating obstacles that prevent widespread use of geoconstruction technologies.
