WinLoG CPT Borehole Log Example

A complete 40 ft cone penetration test log with continuous sleeve-friction, cone-resistance, and friction-ratio curves beside interpreted soil stratigraphy.

CPT-01 River Crossing demonstrates how WinLoG presents high-resolution CPT data for transportation, foundation, and subsurface-characterization projects. The three curves share a common depth scale with lithologic symbols, interpreted descriptions, and elevations.

The example progresses from sandy fill and silty sand through soft-to-firm silty clay, medium-dense to dense sand, stiff sandy clay, and dense sand with gravel. Automated validation passes with 100% completeness, Good quality, 85% confidence, and no errors or warnings.

Capabilities Demonstrated

What This CPT Example Shows

Cone Resistance

  • Continuous cone-resistance profile
  • 0–400 tsf display range
  • Increasing resistance in sand
  • Low resistance in cohesive soil
  • Depth-aligned curve
  • Dark-red curve convention

Sleeve Friction

  • Continuous sleeve-friction profile
  • 0–8 tsf display range
  • Fine depth resolution
  • Response to soil transitions
  • Independent graph scale
  • Navy-blue curve convention

Friction Ratio

  • Calculated friction-ratio profile
  • 0–8% display range
  • Higher ratios in clay
  • Lower ratios in clean sand
  • Soil-behaviour interpretation
  • Teal curve convention

Interpretation & QA/QC

  • Six interpreted soil intervals
  • Lithologic symbols and descriptions
  • Depth and elevation scales
  • Continuous curve transitions
  • 100% completeness
  • No validation warnings or errors

A Continuous View of Subsurface Behaviour

Unlike discrete sampling, CPT provides closely spaced measurements that reveal thin layers and rapid changes in soil response. In this example, cone resistance increases through the sand intervals while friction ratio rises through cohesive soils, supporting the interpreted profile shown beside the curves.

The supplied validation report records Passed status, 100% completeness, Good quality, an 85% confidence score, and zero errors and zero warnings.
