Choose the correct answer
Only the total depth of drilling
Layer-by-layer soil description, SPT N-values, water table, and sample details — complete subsurface profile
Only the final bearing capacity value
Concrete mix design for piles
Correct Answer
B. Layer-by-layer soil description, SPT N-values, water table, and sample details — complete subsurface profile

Bore log: vertical record of soil stratigraphy encountered during borehole drilling. Records: depth intervals, soil description (type, colour, consistency/density), SPT N-values at 1.5 m intervals, water table depth, sample recovery, RQD for rock. IS 1892 format. Form basis for foundation design. Cross-section between boreholes → site geology model.
