Abstract
Complex subsurface geology of coastal Louisiana, formed under fluvial, deltaic, and sea level influences, increases the uncertainty in design and construction of hard and natural infrastructure. In this study, twenty-four (24) collocated soil borings and CPTs at the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) in New Orleans, Louisiana were used to construct multiple three-dimensional soil stratigraphy models by ordinary kriging. To explore the spatial distribution of soils at the site, four soil stratigraphy models were established, including the unified soil classification system (USCS) from borings and three constructed using soil behavior type (SBT) correlations.
