Manaul Data Entry for Testholes

Testhole Input Data

All we do in VisLog is visualization; having said that, we need information about  each borehole being visualized. With VisLog there are 4 different methods to import this data:

  • Importing a *.vlg file : A vlg file is a file with standard format defined by VisLog. This is essentially a tag-based text file with different data sections for each borehole.

  • Importing a gINT project file : Since gINT is one of the most popular borehole log software in the world, we have considered this feature to ease importing data. If your gINT project includes coordinates for boreholes, making a model with VisLog will take less than a minute!

  • Importing a SMTP project : SMTP is a software widely used in Middle East for soil mechanics laboratory testing and borehole log preparation. If you have SMTP on your machine, you can select your own project from the list and import all data in a second.

  • Manual Data Entry :If you want to define the test-holes from scratch, use our internal test-hole editor. Define each borehole with its layering and field test data; save; and see the 3-dimensional model. To ease the data entry process, import from Text file is possible.

The following properties of a test hole are supported in VisLog for visualization purpose:

  • Name

  • Depth

  • Easting (X)

  • Northing (Y)

  • Elevation (Z)

  • Water level (GWT)

  • Azimuth

  • Plunge

  • user data

  • Any field test data (CPT, DCPT, SPT, etc.)

  • Soil layers

As it can be seen, non-vertical boreholes are supported for visualization in VisLog. Also, any custom data like hole diameter or ground improvement info for each borehole may be added through user-data columns.

Note : It does not matter whether the test-hole is a test pit or auger hole or even a rotary borehole. VisLog is designed to simulate and visualize the soil layers draw profiles among these test holes. So practically, VisLog supports all drilling methods.
