Visualization of Geotechnical Data for Hazard Mitigation and
Disaster Response, a Practical Update
July 20, 2016
Today’s Presenters
• Moderator Ty Ortiz, Colorado Department of Transportation
• Presenter Hollie Ellis, Shannon and Wilson, Inc.
NCHRP is...
A state-driven national program
• The state DOTs, through AASHTO’s Standing Committee on Research... – Are core sponsors of NCHRP
– Suggest research topics and select final projects
– Help select investigators and guide their work through oversight panels
NCHRP delivers...
Practical, ready-to-use results • Applied research aimed at state
DOT practitioners • Often become AASHTO
standards, specifications, guides, manuals
• Can be directly applied across the spectrum of highway concerns: planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, safety
A range of approaches and products • Traditional NCHRP reports • Syntheses of highway practice • IDEA Program • Domestic Scan Program • Quick-Response Research for
AASHTO • Other products to foster
implementation: – Research Results Digests – Legal Research Digests – Web-Only Documents and CD-ROMs
NCHRP Webinar Series • Part of TRB’s larger webinar
program • Opportunity to interact with
investigators and apply research findings.

Geotechnical data comes from many different
sources in many different formats.
Often the greatest challenge to those
responsible for hazard mitigation and disaster
response is simply accessing, viewing, and
interpreting geotechnical data in a consistent
and convenient format.
