Abstract

This research represents part of the current attempts to employ remote sensing data in the scopes of the civil engineering and the geotechnical engineering applications. There is great need to know the kinds of soil and their geotechnical properties, to create recent maps which have the capability and high flexibility to deal with them in digitizing way. Therefore GIS techniques are employed in the soil of area of study .

By using ArcView software, a geographical database and information about soil chemical properties analysis have been registered and constructed digitally to represent the geotechnical soil characteristics maps . The work includes the digital image processing ( digital classification techniques) by using ERDAS, ver.,8.4 package, and classify the soil of study area by using the supervise and unsupervised techniques .

The geotechnical maps by using GIS techniques depend on remote sensing data are the better to represent the ground truth regarding the characteristics of soil , in comparison with the traditional method, because they are easy way to produce, use, store and update, in addition they save in efforts, time and cost .
The results of this study have shown that the soil of study area is gypsum where it ratio exceeded the allowable ratio ( 10.75 % ) for all samples . In addition the total Soluble Salts ratio and SO4 ratio high compared to allowable ratio (10 % , 5 %) respectively .
