WinLoG Rock Core Characterization Example

Integrated geological, geotechnical and discontinuity observations for detailed rock-core assessment.

This example presents a 59 m diamond-drilled borehole in a two-sheet format. Lithologic descriptions and symbols are coordinated with core runs, core numbers, instrumentation, weathering, rock hardness, point-load strength, uniaxial compressive strength and discontinuity measurements.

Core recovery and RQD profiles provide an immediate view of recovered core quality beside the interpreted geology and engineering properties. Automated validation completed with 92% completeness, 82% confidence, and no errors or warnings.

  • Quality rated Good

Rock Quality Beside Interpreted Geology

The example places recovery and RQD beside lithology, weathering, hardness and strength so changes in rock quality can be reviewed in their geological context. Discontinuity dip and spacing provide additional information for interpreting fractured intervals.

The borehole progresses through clay till, limestone, shale and interbedded limestone and dolomite. The two-sheet design preserves a readable scale while maintaining continuous depth correlation from ground surface to 59 m.
