Abstract
An-Najaf province is situated in south-
western part of Iraq. It is 70 meters
above the sea level in the dry desert environment. The city is considered as
one of the most important cities in Iraq, facing a fast population growth and
continuous development in constructions such as residential complexes, h
o-
tels, bridges and shopping malls. Soil investigation data for An-
Najaf Province
(An-
Najaf and Kufa cities) from 464 boreholes drilled by the National Centre
for Construction Laboratories & Researches (NCCLR)
/Babylon laboratory
were used in this research
. The data were analysed and possessed using Excel
program then represented on the
Geographical Information System (GIS)
program by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) tool to create an allowable
bearing capacity map for the soil at depths 0 -
2 meters. The allowable bearing
capacity is one of the most important soil characteristics to be considered
when making a database for An-
Najaf city soil. Geographical Information
System GIS program enables to create reliable
database for any characteristic
and it is one of the best programs to produce an accurate map and allow
ease
in dealing with it. Those maps cover all the studied areas
and by using contour
lines, approximate values for no-data areas can be obtained. The re
sults show
that the allowable bearing capacity range is 5 - 20 Ton/m
2
for both An-
Najaf
and Kufa cities. Kufa city has the range 5 - 9 Ton/m
2
. An-
Najaf city has the
range 7 - 18 at the center, 8 - 10 Ton/m
2
at the north eastern part, 7 -
14
Ton/m
2
for the north western part, 6 - 12 Ton/m
2
at the south eastern and 12
-
19 Ton/m
2
at the south western.
