Abstract:

This report presents three programs for the geotechnical engineer for the management and presentation of boring log data and other geotechnical details. Unit I contains a boring log database system. The program is a menu driven collection of routines for data entry, editing, and reporting of boring log information. The package is written in dBase III Plus and this software must be available for the program to operate. Unit II is a Boring Log Plotting program which works in conjunction with the boring log database to generate CADD design files for display of the logs. The package extracts user-defined boring logs and displays them in a design file either singly or in a definable matrix. Unit III is a cell library and matrix menu. The cells used in the matrix menu are those contained in the CADD Standards Manual EM 1110-1-1807. This system offers a quick and easy way to generate geotechnical details such as boring log and pavement details. Instructions for installation, use, and maintenance of these packages are included in the individual units.
