Application of GIS Analyzing Settlement Along Pekan-Kuantan Federal Road

Application of GIS Analyzing Settlement Along Pekan-Kuantan Federal Road

Improper geotechnical and geological site investigation done before any construction will contribute to serious problems like settlement. Government not only has been spending billions of money to facilitate public with infrastructures but also the same amount of money for maintenance over the years...
