Abstract (EN): The large number of published assessment procedures in geotechnical engineering, as well as the large and ever-growing number of field and experimental data sets makes it difficult to perform a full validation of a new procedure. Essentially demonstrating that the new procedure is superior to existing approaches across all existing observed evidence. To enable more effective validation, this paper presents a framework for linking experimental/field data with geotechnical assessment procedures using physically based object-orientated databases. A brief explanation of physically based object-oriented programming in engineering is presented, as well as a framework for the development of compatible databases. The database design covers several key aspects: behaviour based type checking, identification numbers for objects, object methods handle saving and loading exceptions, and the use of default attribute names. This philosophy is then applied to a specific problem of earthquake geotechnical engineering where publicly available centrifuge test results are compared with simplified methods for prediction of the build up of excess pore pressure and the triggering of seismically induced soil liquefaction.
