SO-Log

If you are looking into ways of turning your geotechnical engineering project into a success, resorting to an application such as SO-Log could be a great idea since you would have close at hand an approachable method of generating boring logs.

First and foremost, it should be pointed out that the software utility sports an intuitive user interface that allows you to compile data-rich logs comprising all the details about the tests that have been previously carried out.

Being oriented towards accuracy, the application is capable of checking the data compatibility and informing you about any errors that might be encountered. The program comes with support for reverse geocoding, and viewing your boring logs in up to 9 portrait and landscape formats is possible.

It should also be said that the Settings window allows you to select the depth per page and marking divisions that are suitable for you as well as indicate the way output logs are sorted. Moreover, specifying when fine-grained soils should be considered hard is possible.

It is also worth pointing out that both Standard Penetration Tests and Dynamic Probing tests can be employed when handling boreholes and test pits.

Another feature we would like to bring into discussion is the so-called smart layering, which translates to the fact that layering can be done automatically using a series of criteria such as organic fines, soil classification, boulders and cobbles, and percentage of particles.

As regards the output options you are offered, you might be interested to know that PDF and XPS are the file formats you can export your boring logs to. Aside from that, it should be noted that your output files could have a small size, despite the data they include.

On an ending note, SO-Log is a well put-together program that offers the means of generating boring logs that accurately reflect the results of the tests carried out within a geotechnical engineering project.
