Importance and Applications of GIS in Engineering

Abstract

Site selection is very important for any construction of structure and management. The appropriate site selection gives very good life and durability to the structure. Site selection is also improving quality of the structure and life of the structure. So, site selection is very important in of structures. In this, Geographic information system is a tool used for site selection of structure. Geographic information system is used to analyses and manipulate the spatially referenced data. It is also known as remotely sensed data or information. Geographic information system is giving a better output with in short period of time. So Geographic information system is most widely used now a days around the world. In recent developments attribute data are analysis by using Geographic information system. The selection of site depends on soil conditions, environmental conditions, weathering agencies etc. so proper planning and design of site selection is very important to make a structure in long life and increase the life span of the structure.
