Description

Information technology continues to evolve and remains central to all aspects of geo-engineering.

Key issues are the effective use and re-use of data, particularly within Building Information Modelling (BIM) frameworks; the use of smart monitoring; artificial intelligence and data processing techniques.

All these contribute to improvements in design processes, greater construction efficiency and more cost-effective maintenance.

This book presents the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Information Technology in Geo-Engineering (ICITG 2014), held in Durham, United Kingdom, in July 2014.

Topics of the conference cover the full range of information technology applications in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering, as well as engineering geology.

The focus of the papers in this book is on geotechnical data, specifically dealing with issues related to data standards and data exchange.

The wider issues of managing data and data sharing through global web portals are also addressed. Also included are papers on artificial intelligence applications, and the use of expert (knowledge-based) systems, artificial neural networks and data mining techniques, particularly as applied to the identification of properties of geo-materials.

The use of web-based materials for education, data processing techniques, and the numerical modeling of tunnels, piles and anchors are also discussed.

This book will be of interest to the geo-engineering community and is the second in a series of proceedings designed to keep practitioners and researchers abreast of the developments in information technology which relate to their work.
