Abstract
Geographic information systems (GIS) are considered one of the
most evolving fields of research nowadays. This is due to their ability to
represent the reality by both its spatial and descriptive dimensions.

gathering all the geotechnical data of pore holes in one unified data base
and the representation of soil stratification. These two applications are
considered two direct applications of GIS. This research tried to widen
the scope of GIS contribution in the field of geotechnical engineering. Its
main aim is to prove the concept that GIS has a highly extendable and
customizable environment that can fit even the highly complicated
problems. Therefore the embankment dams where chosen to be modeled
by GIS in this thesis, due to the fact the their problem is one of the most
complicated problems in geotechnical engineering even starting from
their representation until reaching to their analysis.
The analysis of pore water pressure under the dam was chosen to be
modeled. As if this not a direct application in GIS, two visual basic
programs using GIS objects were developed to solve the problem. The
main aims of the programs were to distribute the applied pressure of the
dam to the soil layers under it and to get variation of pore water pressure
with X,Y,Z coordinates and time. The two programs were verified using a
group of textbook examples and then used in the analysis of pore water
pressure under the Canadian Dam ofNIPW AIN.
