30 C h a p t e r 5 Introduction An interactive selection system was developed to aid the user in identifying potential geoconstruction technologies for a user-defined set of project conditions. The interactive selection system is a qualitative tool to assist the engineer in completing a project-specific quantitative analysis and comparison of potential technologies.

32 The research team, advisory board, and other stakeholders supported the development of a system that does not define the "best" or "most applicable" geotechnical technology or technologies for a particular set of input parameters, but rather provides a short list of potential technologies. Then the system leads the user to the catalog of technologies to provide the information for the user to complete a project-specific analysis.
