Abstract
This paper describes the object-oriented modeling of geotechnical
systems, which is becoming increasingly important
due to the dense covering with large structures, predominantly
in urban areas, and the growing importance of
environmental concerns. Starting with the real world geotechnical
system, two partial models are described, the
Geotechnical Model and the Geomechanical Model. These
models serve as a basis for calculation and administration
of such systems. The principals of the new object-oriented software design, which couples GIS, CAD
and FEM techniques by interfaces and includes object-oriented DBMS for the administration of different
models, and its C++ implementation are presented. The
engineering software Geotechnical-Information-System
(GTI-System) is presented and illustrated with examples.
