Abstract In this paper, assessing underground conditions and the engineering properties of the various strata of fourteen sites Baghdad are made. The sites are divided into two groups, one in Karkh and the other in Rusafa. Assessing the underground conditions can be occurred by drilling vertical holes called exploratory boring into the ground, obtaining soil (disturbed and undisturbed) samples, and testing these samples in a laboratory (civil engineering laboratory /University of Baghdad). From disturbed, the tests involved the grain size analysis and then classified the soil, Atterberg limit, chemical test (organic content, sulphate content, gypsum content and chloride content). From undisturbed samples, the test involved the consolidation test (from this test, the following parameters can be obtained: initial void ratio e o, compression index c c, swelling index c s, coefficient of consolidation c v, coefficient of volume change m v, maximum preconsolidation stress P c, Effective overburden pressure P o )and shear test (the following parameters can be obtained: undrained cohesion c u, angle of friction φ. In-situ testing was carried out by the standard penetration test in order to obtain the penetration resistance of the soil strata in a bore hole. Database for Baghdad soils is made using different GIS techniques connecting the spatial locations of those soils with their properties ( Atterberg Limits, Specific Gravity, Grain size Analysis, Shear Strength parameters, Consolidation parameters), Borehole log, Site profile using the attribute tables, hyperlinks, metadata and SQL (System Query Language), so GIS techniques give the facilities for adding, editing and analyzing the existing data as well as the any future data of Baghdad soils. Keywords:Properties, Baghdad, soil, GIS, attribute table, hyperlinks, metadata. قاعدة البيانات لتربة بغداد باستخدام نظم المعلومات الجغرافية عذراء هاشم محمد مدرس أسماء يونس يحيى مدرس بلقيس عبد الواحد احمد مدرس الخلاصة: في هذه المقالة تم دراسة وتقييم الخواص الهندسية لطبقات التربة الخاصة لاربعة عشر موقعا في بغداد. المواقع قسمت الى مجموعتين احداها في الكرخ والاخرى في الرصافة. هذا التقييم حدث بحفر حفر شاقولية تسمى بالحفر الاستكشافية في الارض ومنها تم الحصول على نماذج مخلخلة واخرى غير مخلخلة ومن ثم أجرينا فحص هذه النماذج مختبريا (في مختبر العاي د الى قسم الهندسة المدنية / جامعة بغداد). من فحص النماذج المخلخلة تم الحصول على تدرج الحبيبي للتربة حدود الاتربيرك الفحوص الكيمياوية ) محتوى المواد العضوية محتوى املاح الكبريتات محتوى الجبس ومحتوى الكلوريد) ومن فحص النماذج غير مخلخلة والتي يضم فحص الانضمام ) من هذا الفحص تم استخراج نسبة الفراغات الابتداي ية مو شر الانضغاط مو شر الانتفاخ معامل الانضمام معامل التغيرالحجمي اعلى اجهاد مسبق ضغط الثقل الفعال) وفحص القص (من هذا الفحص تم الحصول على التماسك الغير مبزول وزاوية الاحتكاك). في الموقع تم فحص الاختراق القياسي للحصول على مقاومة اختراق طبقات التربة في الحفرة. 1307

Introduction الكلمات الري يسية: الخواص بغداد تربة نظم المعلومات الجغرافية جدول الخاصية الارتباطات التشعبية وبيانات الميتا. Engineers classify earth materials into two broad categories: rock and soil. Although both materials play an important role in foundation engineering, most foundations are supported by soil. In addition, foundations on rock are often designed much more conservatively because of the rock s greater strength, whereas economics prevents overconservatism when building foundations on soil. Therefore, it is especially important for the foundation engineer to be familiar with soil mechanics. One of the fundamental differences between soil and most other engineering material is that it is a particulate material. This means that it is an assemblage of individual particles rather than being a continuum (a continuous solid mass). The engineering properties of soil, such as strength and compressibility, are dictated primarily by the arrangement of these particles and the interactions between them, rather than by their internal properties (Coduto, 2001). A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing spatial data. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps. These abilities distinguish GIS from other information systems and make it valuable to a wide range of public and private enterprises for explaining events, predicting outcomes, and planning strategies. GIS is considered to be one of the most important new technologies, with the potential to revolutionize many aspects of society through increased ability to make decisions and solve problems Soil Classification Systems Soil classification systems divide soils into groups and subgroups based on common engineering properties such as the grain-size distribution, liquid limit, and plastic limit. The two major classification systems presently in use are (1) the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) system and (2) the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) (Das, 2007). According to the Unified Soil Classification System, Soils are classified as follows (University of St. Thomas, 2009): Generally, soils consist of a mixture of different particle types, such as "sandy clay", or a "silty sand". Atterberg Limit When a clayey soil is mixed with an excessive amount of water, it may flow like a semi- liquid. If the soil is gradually dried, it will behave like a plastic, semisolid, solid material, depending on its 1308
3 Number 12 Volume 18 December 2012 Journal of Engineering moisture content. The moisture content, in percent, at which the soil changes from a liquid to a plastic state is defined as the liquid limit (LL). Similarly, the moisture content, in percent, at which the soil changes from a plastic to a semisolid state and from a semisolid to a solid state are defined as the plastic limit (PL) and the shrinkage limit (SL), respectively. These limits are referred to as Atterberg limits. The difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit of a soil is defined as the plasticity index (PI) (Das, 2007). PI= LL- PL Consolidation In the field, when the stress on a saturated clay layer is increased- for example, by the construction of a foundation- the pore water pressure in the clay will increase. Because the hydraulic conductivity of clays is very small, some times will be required for the excess pore water pressure to dissipate and the increase in stress to be transferred to the soil skeleton. From consolidation test, three parameters necessary for calculating settlement in the field can be determined. They are preconsolidation pressure ( P c ), compression index (C c ) and the swelling index (C s ) (Das, 2011) Classification of Foundation The term foundation is used to describe the structural elements that connect a structure to the ground. These elements are made of concrete, steel, wood, or perhaps other materials. Foundations will be divided into two board categories: shallow foundations and deep foundations, as shown in figure 1 (Coduto, 2001). Spread Shallow Shallow Mats Foundations Piles Mander el Driven Thin Figure 1 Classification of Foundations Effect of the Salts on The Soil Deep Anchors Drilled Pressure Injected Auger Footing Cast Piles Sabkha soil is a rich soil with salt deposited which result from evaporation of water; it is one of the many types of the collapsible soils and in turn is one of the many types of problematic soils. This soil totally has good engineering properties when dry, i.e, moderately bearing capacity with low settlement. But once is wetted it loses its entire structure (collapse) and undergoes very large instantaneous settlement (Abbas, 2012). Estimation of Settlements from Standard Penetration Test (Spt) Menzenbach, 1967 arrived at the conclusion of a relationship between the results of standard penetration tests to the deformation modulus of the soil. This relationship is shown in figure 2. This relationship is shown for different values of the effective overburden pressure Po at the level of test. The values of deformation modulus are then used to calculate the immediate settlement. The Poisson s ratio (m) should be taken as 0.15 for coarse- grained soils and 0.25 for fine- grained soils. Cassions The calculations of net immediate settlement l (elastic settlement) beneath the corner of a flexible 1309

Components Of A Geographic Information System A working Geographic Information System seamlessly integrates five key components: hardware, software, data,people, and methods. H A R D W A R E Hardware includes the computer on which a GIS operates, the monitor on which results are displayed, and a printer for making hard copies of the results. Today, GIS software runs on a wide range of hardware types, from centralized computer servers to desktops computers used in stand-alone or networked configurations. The data files used in GIS are relatively large, so the computer must have a fast processing speed and a large hard drive capable of saving many files. Because a GIS outputs visual results, a large, high-resolution monitor and a high-quality printer are recommended. S O F T W A R E GIS software provides the functions and tools needed to store, analyze, and display geographic information. Key software components include tools for the input and manipulation of geographic information, a database 1310
5 Number 12 Volume 18 December 2012 Journal of Engineering management system (DBMS), tools that support geographic query, analysis, and visualization, and a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy access to tools. The industry leader is ARC/INFO, produced by Environmental Systems Research, Inc. The same company produces a more accessible product, ArcView, that is similar to ARCINFO in many ways. D A T A Possibly the most important component of a GIS is the data. A GIS will integrate spatial data with other data resources and can even use a database management system, used by most organizations to organize and maintain their data, to manage spatial data. There are three ways to obtain the data to be used in a GIS. Geographic data and related tabular data can be collected in-house or produced by digitizing images from aerial photographs or published maps. Data can also be purchased from commercial data provider. Finally, data can be obtained from the federal government at no cost. P E O P L E GIS users range from technical specialists who design and maintain the system to those who use it to help them perform their everyday work. The basic techniques of GIS are simple enough to master that even students in elementary schools are learning to use GIS. Because the technology is used in so many ways, experienced GIS users have a tremendous advantage in today s job market (Chang, 2006)..How A GIS Works A GIS stores information about the world as a collection of thematic layers that can be linked together by geography. This simple but extremely powerful and versatile concept has proven invaluable for solving many real-world problems from modeling global atmospheric circulation, to predicting rural land use, and monitoring changes in rainforest ecosystems. GIS Tasks General purpose GIS s perform seven tasks. - Input of data - Map making - Manipulation of data - File management - Query and analysis - Visualization of results Input of Data Before geographic data can be used in a GIS, the data must be converted into a suitable digital format. The process of converting data from paper maps or aerial photographs into computer files is called digitizing. Modern GIS technology can automate this process fully for large projects using scanning technology; smaller jobs may require some manual digitizing which requires the use of a digitizing table Today many types of geographic data already exist in GIS-compatible formats. These data can be loaded directly into a GIS. Map Making Maps have a special place in GIS. The process of making maps with GIS is much more flexible than are traditional manual or automated cartography approaches. It begins with database creation. Existing paper maps can be digitized and computercompatible information can be translated into the GIS. The GIS-based cartographic database can be both continuous and scale free. Map products can then be created centered on any location, at any scale, and showing selected information symbolized effectively to highlight specific characteristics. The characteristics of atlases and map series can be encoded in computer programs and compared with the database at final production time. Digital products for use in other GIS s can also be derived by simply copying data from the database. In a large organization, topographic databases can be used as reference frameworks by other departments. Manipulation of Data It is likely that data types required for a particular GIS project will need to be transformed or manipulated in some way to make them compatible with your system. For example, geographic information is available at different scales (street centerline files might be available at a scale of 1:100,000; census boundaries at 1:50,000; and postal codes at 1:10,000). Before this information can be integrated, it must be transformed to the same scale. This could be a temporary transformation for display purposes or a permanent one required for analysis. GIS technology offers many tools for manipulating spatial data and for weeding out unnecessary data. 1311
6 Athraa Hashim Mohammed Asmaa Younus Yahya Balqees Abdulwahid Ahmed File Management For small GIS projects it may be sufficient to store geographic information as simple files. There comes a point, however, when data volumes become large and the number of data users becomes more than a few, that it is best to use a database management system (DBMS) to help store, organize, and manage data. A DBMS is nothing more than computer software for managing a database--an integrated collection of data. Query and Analysis Once you have a functioning GIS containing your geographic information, you can begin to ask simple questions such as - How far is it between two places? - How is this particular parcel of land being used? - What is the dominant soil type for oak forest? - Where are all the sites suitable for relocating an endangered species? - Where are all of the sites possessing certain characteristics? - If I build a new highway here, how will animals in the area be affected? GIS provides both simple point-and-click query capabilities and sophisticated analysis tools to provide timely information to managers and analysts alike. GIS technology really comes into its own when used to analyze geographic data to look for patterns and trends, and to undertake "what if" scenarios. Visualization For many types of geographic operations, the end result is best visualized as a map or graph. Maps are very efficient at storing and communicating geographic information. While cartographers have created maps for millennia, GIS provides new and exciting tools to extend the art and science of cartography. Map displays can be integrated with reports, threedimensional views, photographic images, and with multimedia ( Sutton, 2009). The Importance of Geographic Information Systems The ability of GIS to search databases and perform geographic queries has revolutionized many areas of science and business. It can be invaluable during a decision-making process. The information can be presented succinctly and clearly in the form of a map and accompanying report, allowing decision makers to focus on the real issues rather than trying to understand the data. Because GIS products can be produced quickly, multiple scenarios can be evaluated efficiently and effectively. For this reason, in today s world, the ability to use GIS is increasingly important (DeMers, 2005). Using GIS to Make the Database for Baghdad Soils To make the database for Baghdad soils, the latest aerial photo of the city of Baghdad is prepared and Georeferenced as shown in figure (3). The boreholes locations are divided into two groups, one in Karkh (Ameriah, Arabjbour,, Sa ediyah, Ghazaliyh, Mamoon, Bayaa, Kamalyah,Durarefinery and Mansour ) and the other in Rusafa (Wazeriya, Baladiat,, Sadr city, Aljaderiyah,, Zayuna). Presentation for the locations is made in the arcmap by making two layers for boreholes, one in Karkh side and the other in Rusafa side. Figure (4) shows the two layers as well as the layer of Baghdad aerial photo. Description of each site location is represented in GIS techniques by metadata which is the part of the system where the detailed description for the abstract, purpose, status of the data, time period for the data is relevant,.etc. the description of the site location can be seen in figures (5) and (6). Laboratory Test After drilling the vertical holes into the ground, the disturbed and undisturbed samples are obtained. From disturbed samples, the tests involved the grain size analysis and then classified the soil (according to BS 1377), Atterberg limit is performed according to (BS 1377:1975,Test 2(B)), chemical test (organic content (OR %), sulphate content (So 3 %), chloride content (CL%) (according to BS 1377) ((Head, 1980), gypsum content (according to the following equation (gypsum content = So 3 % 1312
7 Number 12 Volume 18 December 2012 Journal of Engineering 2.15) (Al-Mufty, 1997) and Total soluble salts content (T.S.S%) (Earth Manual,E8) (Earth Manual, 1974). From undisturbed samples, the test involved the consolidation test (from this test, the following parameters can be obtained: initial void ratio e o, compression index c c, swelling index c s, coefficient of consolidation c v, coefficient of volume change m v, maximum preconsolidation stress P c, Effective overburden pressure P o ) (according to BS 1377:1975) (Head, 1982) and shear test (the following parameters can be obtained: undrained cohesion c u, angle of friction φ (ASTM, D2166) (Head, 1982). For example, the soil properties of Al- Ghazaliyah (in Karkh group) are shown in tables (3), (4), (5) and (6). All the above is represented in the GIS technique as shown in figure (7), (8), and (9). These figures show the potentials and facilities that GIS produce to connect between the spatial location of the boreholes and their computations, analyses and results, so by clicking any point which represents the location of any borehole in any site of the fourteen test sites, all the information about Atterberg Limits, Specific Gravity, Grain size Analysis, Shear Strength parameters, Consolidation parameters, Borehole log, Site profile can be obtained by using the hyperlink technique. By analyzing the above parameters, the design parameters of Ghazaliyah site are concluded and these parameters can be presented in table (7) Managing the table above in the system in figure (10) which shows the attribute table containing the table information but in this case it is spatially connected. Another example in Rusafa group is Al-Baladiat site, the soil properties, borehole log, the site profile and the design parameters are represented by GIS in figures (11), (12), (13) and (14). By using the SQL (System Query Language), the sites those have bearing capacity less than 100 kpa are obtained in Karkh and Rusafa as shown in figures (15) and (16) NOTE: - The detailed applications of the research using the GIS are in the attendant CD. Uploading of the ARCGIS 9.3 or 10 is needed. - The information in CD must be placed in D partitions in the hard disk of the computer. Conclusion From the previous results, the parameters design for Baghdad soils in general can be shown as the following: Bearing capacity ( ) m equal to (90-110) kpa Compression Index = Swelling Index = Initial Void Ratio = Saturated Unit Weight = 20 kn/m 3 Submerged Unit Weight = 10 kn/m Undrained cohesion, c u = kpa Angle of friction = (28-30) degree Factor of safety for bearing capacity = 3 The above conclusions can be represented in GIS in figure 17 In Karkh, Ghazaliyh and Al- Sa ediyah have bearing of capacity less than 100 kpa In Rusafa, Al-Baladiat has bearing of capacity less than 100 kpa References Al-Mufty, A.A., Effect of Gypsum Dissolution on the Mechanical Behavior of Gypseous Soils Ph.D. Thesis, Civil Engineering Department, University of Baghdad, Abbas, H.
