      abstract = {Geographic Information System (GIS) has been used in geotechnical engineering as a part of geotechnical site investigation to create a site portrait and in preliminary geotechnical site assessments. This study explores the application ArcGIS 10.1 for mapping soil properties of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, Gubi campus for use in preliminary designs, using the kriging spatial interpolation capability. For this purpose, 40 trial pits distributed within the study area were used and their coordinates were recorded. The samples were subjected to various laboratory tests to determine their geotechnical properties. The obtained laboratory results and corresponding recorded coordinates were used to develop mapped database in GIS software and after which, analysis-using kriging was carried out. The analysis results show maps of various soil properties. The result provides estimated data for preliminary designing and planning within the study area.},
