GEOTECHNICAL BASIC EXAMPLE

WinLoG Geotechnical Basic Example

A clear introduction to conventional geotechnical boring logs.

This introductory example shows how WinLoG organizes a conventional geotechnical investigation. The Basic boring records lithology, sample intervals, SPT blow counts, recovery, USCS classifications, elevations, and field comments in a clean one-page professional log.

The record represents a 22 m boring at the Port Sidney Oil Terminal and includes peat, elastic silt, silty sand, and shale. Automated validation passes the example with 98% completeness, 84% confidence, and no errors or warnings.

A Clean, Validated Starting Point

Unlike the detailed geotechnical QA/QC example, this basic record is intended to show the core WinLoG workflow without deliberate validation exceptions. Lithology intervals, samples, classifications, descriptions, elevations, and comments are presented together in a compact format suitable for introductory training and template customization.

The supplied validation report records Passed status, 98% completeness, Good quality, an 84% confidence score, and zero errors and zero warnings.

Example Data

Key Information Demonstrated

Soil and Rock Profile

  • PT peat from 0 to 0.62 m
  • MH elastic silt to approximately 12 m
  • SM silty sand to approximately 20.9 m
  • Weathered shale to the 22 m termination depth
  • Patterned symbols and plain-language descriptions

Sampling and Validation

  • Split-spoon samples at 5 m intervals
  • SPT blow-count sequences and recovery
  • Recovery decreases from 85% to 65%
  • Refusal recorded at 22 m
  • Passed validation with completeness and confidence indicators
