BORING LOGS INTRODUCTION – CHAPTER 26
FILE NO. 26.00
GENERAL PROCEDURES Chapter 26 of this manual establishes the practices for the completion of boring logs for a plan assembly.
These sheets were generated using a MDL program; however, the Materials Division has adopted gINT software for the creation of boring logs. In the past, fence diagrams (See File No. 26.03-2) have only been included when requested. Fence diagrams will be included with the boring logs for all projects beginning with the July 2011 advertisement.
NOTE: Due to various restrictions on placing files in this manual onto the Internet, portions of the drawings shown do not necessarily reflect the correct line weights, line types, fonts, arrowheads, etc. Wherever discrepancies occur, the written text shall take precedence over any of the drawn views.

BORING LOGS GINT SOFTWARE
GENERAL INFORMATION FILE NO. 26.01
General: The GEOXT, GINT, Microstation, and GEOPAK Integrator software and manual may be downloaded from the external website at the following link: http://www.virginiadot.org/business/materials-download-docs.asp After running the gINT software, the standard penetration test (SPT) composite logs will typically need to be converted from DXF files to DGN format. The macro provided will convert all line weights and fonts to conform to VDOT standards. However, some editing in the MicroStation file may be required to fix errors created by the conversion process. The macro is also available to convert Fence Diagrams.

BORING LOGS CONVERSION PROCESS
FILE NO. 26.02-1
General: The following instructions are to be followed when creating bridge plan sheets using the Materials Division Engineering Geology sheet to be included within the final Bridge Plan Assembly after notification from the Materials section that the converted DGN files are available in FALCON.
It should be noted that at this time this is the only drawing where reference files may be used.
1. Within MicroStation, insert the GSHT cell from bdetails1.cel, and type “XY=0,0” into the key-in
box to indicate cell insertion point. If the key-in box is not activated, select Utilities – Key-in to access command window.
XY=0,0 (Insertion point)

2. The Materials subdirectory in Falcon should contain the Materials Geology sheets as shown
below.
From the top bar select MicroStation then Attach Reference. This will prompt the Reference Attachment Settings box to appear.
