Chicago Chapter Webinar- Shortcuts in the Profession: Soil Borin g Logs
Speakers: Dr. Timothy Kemmis and Dr. Chris Stohr
< p>When the late Dr. Ralph Peck used to come back to the University of Illinois, he would always present a lecture on a project failure, and that failure was always because the geology was misunderstood. What correctly c haracterizes the geology? Complete and accurate soil descriptions. Today’s standard-of-practice boring logs, differing little from those of 50 years a go, contain important, useful information. The problem is, they fail to inc lude the information necessary to determine the geology. To elevate the pro fession’s standards, this presentation will look at standard-of-practice bo ring logs and the quick, simple information that must be added so that the geology can be determined. This can lead to better, more cost-effective ach ievement of project objectives by better pinpointing any problematic aspect s of the geology as well as avoiding expensive engineering over-design.
