    The document provides procedures for borehole logging including planning investigations, soil and rock identification and description methods, laboratory testing procedures, and presenting subsurface data. It discusses using borehole information to select appropriate foundation types and design calculations. The Log of Test Borings will provide bidders with known subsurface conditions. Formats are presented for the Log of Test Borings, Boring Records, and legends.

    Borehole Logging Procedures

    Craig Hannenian, Senior T.E., Geotechnical Services

    In Review
    Literature search and evaluation of existing information Preliminary Reports Identified the information required for design and bidding
    Soil and Rock Locations (vertical and horizontal) Soil Characteristics
    shear strength, consolidation, liquefaction susceptibility

    Rock Characteristics
    Strength, hardness, fracturing

    Groundwater

    Planned an appropriate investigation to characterize the site


    Four boreholes, sampling, field testing, lab testing

    Borehole Information will be used to:


    Select appropriate foundation types Perform design calculations Make constructability recommendations Produce Log of Test Borings (LOTB) Provide bidders with a record of known subsurface conditions via the Information Handout

    Sec. 2: Field Identification and Description of Soil

    Soil identification is based on ASTM D 2488 Present identification and descriptors in the sequence shown Items marked REQUIRED shall be used when applicable

    Example presenting required and optional components: Well-graded SAND with GRAVEL (SW); medium dense; brown and light gray; wet; 75% SAND, coarse to fine, rounded; 20% GRAVEL, coarse, subrounded to rounded, flat and elongated; 5% fines; weak cementation. Example presenting only required components: Well-graded SAND with GRAVEL (SW); medium dense; brown and light gray; wet; little coarse GRAVEL; trace fines; weak cementation.

    Sec. 2: Field Identification and Description of Rock

    Based on the International Society of Rock Mechanics and the USBR Engineering Geology Field Manual

    Rock Example: IGNEOUS ROCK (GRANITE); light gray and light yellowish brown; intensely weathered; soft; unfractured

    Core Recovery:

    Rock Quality Index:

    Section 3: Laboratory Testing


    Optional not required for many designs Laboratory testing may be used to revise/refine the following: Soil
    Group Name Group Symbol Percent or Proportion of Soils Particle Size Range Consistency Plasticity

    Rock Strength

    Section 4: Methods of Presentation of Subsurface Data


    Revising/Combining sample observations and creating layers.

    Section 5: Boring Log and Legend Presentation Formats


    Presents the formats for: Log of Test Borings (LOTB) Boring Records (BR) Legends

    Group Exercise
    Build a descriptive sequence for the sample provided
    Group Name Group Symbol Apparent Density (N = 16) (ERi = 75%) Color Moisture Percent or Proportion of Soils Particle Size Range

    Some Help
    Estimate the % (by weight) of
    Gravel (Coarse and Fine) Sand (Coarse, Medium, Fine) Fines (Silt and Clay)

    Navigate the Table to select a Group Name and Group Symbol


    Well-graded vs. Poorly-graded

    Calculate N60 then select an Apparent Density Use Proportion terms to describe amount of Gravel, Sand, and fines in order of their abundance.

    More Help
    N60 = N * (ERi /60) N60 = 16 * 75/60 = 20 Medium Dense

    Group Exercise Answers


    1. 2. 3. 4. Well-graded SAND with GRAVEL (SW); medium dense; light brown and gray; little fine GRAVEL; trace fines Well-graded GRAVEL with CLAY (GW-GC); medium dense; light brown and gray; dry; few medium SAND Well-graded GRAVEL (GW); medium dense; light brown and gray; dry; some well-graded SAND Poorly-graded SAND with GRAVEL (SP); medium dense; light brown; dry; medium SAND; some well-graded GRAVEL; trace fines Clayey SAND (SC); medium dense; brownish gray; dry; wellgraded SAND; some fines, high plasticity; trace fine GRAVEL
