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.

The cell values indicate different sediment types:
1=OH;
2=ML;
3=CL;
4=MH;
5=CH;
6=CL-ML.
(6) Data_borings.xlsx
Geotechnical boring data.
(7) Robertson86_qt_Rf.xlsx
CPT measurements data of qt and Rf.

### Instruction for model visualization
The vtu files can be visualized in Paraview, Aquaveo GMS, or similar programs.
Use the cell value files (e.g. CellValue_Robertson86.txt) to assign values for all the cells of the grid system.
To have better view of the stratigraphy models, the models can be vertically exaggerated.
