The geotechnical information constructed in the National Geotechnical Information DB System has been extensively used in design, construction, underground safety management, and disaster assessment. However, it is necessary to refine the geotechnical information because it has nearly 300,000 established cases containing a lot of missing or incorrect information. This research proposes a method for automatic quality control of geotechnical information using a fully connected neural network. Significantly, the anomalies in geotechnical information were detected using a database combining the standard penetration test results and strata information of Seoul. Consequently, the misclassification rate for the verification data is confirmed as 5.4%. Overall, the studied algorithm is expected to detect outliers of geotechnical information effectively.

National Geotechnical Information Database Project based on GIS has begun as public works and continued until now, the whole of country has been target on since the 2003. Today, the 60,581 number of geotechnical data(counted by bering number) have been constructed as GIS-DB and they are being serviced at the National Geotechnical Information Integration Management System(NGIIMS)(http://www.geoinfo.or.kr). In this study, we considered operation status of NGIIMS, GIS-DB distribution of Geotechnical Information and utilization in order to investgate applicability of National Geotechnical Information Database. The results appeared that Geotechnical Information DB was along road-center, and in the case of complex, was only to some area. But after the 2007 when the law of computerization responsibility would be institutionalized, the more geotechnical data will be constructed and be able to use at a construction site.

In March 2007, Korea's Ministry of Construction & Transportation (MOCT) established "Guidelines on the Computerization and Use of Geotechnical Investigation Results," which took effect as official instructions. The 2007 Geotechnical Information DB Construction Project is underway as a model project for a stable geotechnical information distribution system based on the MOCT guidelines, accompanied by user education on the geotechnical data distribution system. This study introduces a geotechnical data entry system characterized by the standardization of the geotechnical investigation form, the standardization of metadata for creating the geotechnical data to be distributed, and the creation of borehole space data based on the world geodetic system according to the changes in the national coordinate system, to define a unified DB structure and the items for the geotechnical data entry system and to computerize the field geotechnical investigation results using the MOCT guidelines. In addition, the present operating status of the geotechnical data entry system and entry data processing statistics are introduced through an analysis of the model project, and the problems of the project are analyzed to suggest improvements. Education on, and the implementation of, the model project for the geotechnical data entry system, which was developed via the standardization of the geotechnical investigation results form and the metadata for institutions showed that most users can use the system easily. There were problems, however, including those related to the complexity of metadata creation, partial errors in moving to the borehole data window, partial recognition errors in the installation program for different computer operating systems, etc. Especially, the individual standard form usage and the specificity of the person who enters the geotechnical information for the Korea National Housing Corporation, among the institutions under MOCT, required partial improvement of the geotechnical data entry system. The problems surfaced from this study will be promptly addressed in the operation and management of the geotechnical data DB center in 2008.

A prototype computer program was developed which visualizes various kinds of geotechnical information using 3D object graphics techniques. The program integrates various kinds of geotechnical data such as surface geology map, boreholes data, geophysical data as well as man made subsurface structures. It also reads NGIS DXF map and generates digital elevation model from iso-elevation line layer of the DXF map. All the data are put into a 3D model as 3D objects. The created 3D model can be viewed and analysed in a interactive 3D way.

Recently, ground disasters such as road collapses and cavities have been frequently occurred in Seoul and downtown areas. As a result, studies on the integrated underground space map is underway as a government's solution. On the other hand, the geotechnical information underlying the integrated underground space map has been being built with more than 220 thousands borehole DB informations through the Integrated DB Center of National Geotechnical Information. To build a three-dimensional integrated underground space map based on the geotechnical information, the reliability of the geotechnical information should be verified by analyzing and evaluating the precision of the geotechnical information. Thereby, studies were conducted on the precision verification and evaluation of the constructed geotechnical information. Thereafter, it has been reviewed how to utilize geotechnical information in addition to analyzing the precision of the geotechnical information in order to visualize three dimensions in geotechnical information. As a further step to the practical DB application, a module is suggested in this study to improve the precision of geotechnical information for establishing reliable three dimensional integrated underground space maps based on the previous research results.

Geotechnical Information Database Project was began by Ministry of Construction Transport at the 1999, because many people need a sharing and reusing the geotechnical report in construction process. In the beginning, target was report of national highway construction. the whole of country has been target on since the 2005. Today, the 60,581 number of geotechnical data(counted by boring number) is maintained. In this study, Geotechnical Information Distribute System(GIDS) was developed, in order to improve practical use and to be connected to National Geographic Information Center(NGIC). and program to be applicable to construction was suggested. We expect that GIDS make a effect to improve geotechnical data application and to be use in all part of construction process.

The system which can manage and analyse the tunnel information in design and construction stage was developed through several years' research named ITIS(Intelligent Tunnel Information System). Now, the system is being modified and improved for the use of international tunnel construction information sharing. Some countries have their own management system for tunnel construction, and one of them, called DEST(Data Evaluation System for Tunneling), is adopted for the international cooperation for this research of development. The aimed system is operated under world wide web environment.

Railroad geotechnical information management system was developed by using Web GIS and DB in this study. The standardization of railroad geotechnical information is progressed by classifying three groups as like basic informations, vibration informations along railway lines and design drawings. The basic informations consisted of basic and dynamic properties of soils, geophysical exploration and seismic survey/exploration. And the specification for 'human exposure to whole-body vibration' was adopted to construct the vibration informations along railway lines. The informations as like drawings and photographs were saved by changing to graphic files in the standardization of design drawings. In the case of standardization of geographical information, the topographical maps(NGIS, 1:5000) were primarily used as digital maps. Another digital maps(KRRI, 1:5000) and their geographical DB based on NGI code system were added on this maps. The standardized informations were used to construct their database. And railroad information management system was developed using Entity-Relation(ER) model which had a good feasibility for expansion and transition to other system in designing stage of database. This system consisted of layer selection, search and analysis of geotechnical informations and Zeus DB was adopted for GIS operating and user interface. This system could be a good tool for saving, searching and analyzing the geotechnical and geophysical informations. These DB systems would offered the basic informations to plans, design and construction of railroad lines etc. in practical use.

Recently, the 3D image of the geotechnical information has been constructed along with the 3D integrated underground space mapping project. Prior to the visualization of the 3D image of the geotechnical information, it is necessary to analyze and verify the accuracy of the geotechnical information. Previous studies evaluated the precision of collected geotechnical information DB to validate the quality of the collected DB and later studies on the 3D precision were performed to provide the basic data for the 3D integrated underground space map. In this study, practical application methodologies are suggested based on the previous studies to improve the accuracy of the applied geotechnical information and further to improve the reliability of the constructed 3D integrated underground space map.
