Explain Borehole Logs.

Borehole logs are the graphical and vertical representation of core materials which are found from core drilling.It is the systematic presentation and tabulation of data obtained from such way. It includes

  • Depth of bore holes,
  • Lithological vibration in respective depth,
  • Characteristic of discontinuity of rock,
  • Core recovery,
  • RQD,
  • In-situ test conducted within hole,
  • Water table etc.

For engineering geological propose, the basic objective of bore hole logging or core logging is to provide factual data/accurate and concise record of important geological and physical properties of materials that is significant for engineering purpose i.e, design and cost estimation. Borehole log provides in-situ facts of any site.
