The application of Geostatistical software (SGeMS), Ilwis software and Kriging interpolation to simulate 3D stratigraphic structure model urban Rach Gia town, Kien Giang, Viet Nam

Abstract

In recent decades, all of the previous researches for determination of the soil-rock characteristics implemented effectively such as geophysical method, static and dynamic penetration, chemical methods and blasting method and so on. These methods combined with experimental results in the laboratory. However, these methods lost much time, costs, and other environmental conditions that machines, tools, people, experimental environment, sample preservation, implemental methods, temperature, weather, and so on. From that, improvement of difficult problems that an urgent and essential method to build “3D spatial stratigraphic structure model in Rach Gia urban, Kien Giang in Viet Nam” was proposed and the results in the shorten time of design, construction time and the lowest costs that implemented by the Geostatistics (SGeMS), Ilwis software and Kriging interpolation. From the results of the 3D model of the stratigraphic structure shown fast for the soil characteristics (type of soils, states, colors, the thickness of soil layers, and mechanical properties) whereas it is not necessary to drill and measure in the laboratory and the field. Moreover, this method supplies scientists, Geology, and Civil engineer who can survey, design, and do construction easily and essentially. Especially, Geologists can predict in advance possible geology hazards during the construction time to ensure construction stability and save costs as low as possible.
