Abstract EN
The present paper submits a set geotechnical maps for the area of An-Najaf city, by using contour lines to represent the different geotechnical properties of the soil.
The present research work is very important step toward preparing a geotechnical database for this region, to complete the geotechnical database over all the country, (Iraq).
Using such a database is very important in geotechincal investigation, reconnaissance phase, of construction projects.
Within this phase of site investigation, numbers, depths and locations of the boreholes needed, will be determined.
A well known commercial software (SURFER 11), was used to produce the all the contour maps of geotechnical properties presented herein.
A forty nine (49) contour maps were produced to cover the variations, within the geotechnical properties of the soil, to produce realistic description to these soil properties.
Both Google maps and Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system (UTM) have been used in the contour maps for easy use.
