Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Geotechnics is an essential component of construction and engineering that involves studying how rock and soil interact with structures. Borehole drilling and sample collections are traditional methods used to collect subsurface data, but they are time-consuming, expensive, and only cover a small area. Information modeling technology can address these challenges by building intricate digital models of subsurface conditions that are more accurately and effectively used to design and analyze structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams. This article discusses the main stages of creating an information model of a geotechnical object, including preparatory work, preliminary tests and work volume determination, field tests, and laboratory tests. The resulting digital engineering-geological model should include the geometric dimensions of the investigated soil mass and the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soils in the IFC data format.
