This paper presents a synoptic analysis of the safe bearing capacities of the soil in southern part of south Chennai of India and subsequent digitization at various depths. Using Arcview/ArcInfo, the iso-standard penetration number (SPTN)-StrengthTest is integrated with the base map as well as the generated/interpolated thematic maps to obtain user-friendly Foundation-Suitability Maps, whose validity is verified in the site upto a high precision accuracy.
