Abstract: The reason for geotechnical site investigation is to prepare a model of the geotechnical frame of reference and interpolations during planning of a project. The model is then used to dissect the undertaking and to settle on venture choices. Geographic Information System (GIS) is extensively used in geotechnical engineering in many different ways. GIS can be utilized as a part of geotechnical site investigation to create a site portrait. In preliminary geotechnical site assessments, GIS can be used for information coordination, information perception and investigation, arranging and condensing site exercises and information introduction. GIS helps in incorporation of previous informational data with project specific information. The coordinated information can be used, to locate the points of data information, hence making the site description. GIS can likewise be utilized to make maps, graphs and figures for further reference to be utilized by project planner. This paper presents the investigation of geotechnical data using GIS. A relevant investigation of Bathinda District of Punjab (India) is discussed in this paper. In this investigation, geotechnical data is analyzed in GIS format. Various maps, graphs and figures are developed based on engineering properties of soil. The paper gives emphasis on different type of soil encountered during soil exploration. Statistical tables and ArcGIS zonation maps based on soil type are presented. Thus, this data is speedily available and can be suggestive and valuable for Engineers and Planners.
