Report Log
A preliminary report log is begun by the field inspector as the field boring log is prepared.
The report log is intended to record the boring data needed for design analysis as well as
some laboratory identification test data and a notation of the various tests performed. The
report log also allows changes to be made in the material description column so that the
descriptions agree with gradation and plasticity test results from the laboratory. The exam-
ples given in Figure 2.92 (test boring report log) for a soil and rock borehole and
Figure 2.93
(core boring report log) for rock core borings illustrate the basic information required for
report logs.
