How to add column of "vane shear test"? I can find the symbol of it but I can't input such data. Could anyone help? Thanks
I am not clear on exactly what you are asking but maybe the following will help.
It is hard to give specific answers when I do not know what library, data structure, and template you are trying to use so I will show 2 examples below.
1. Using my data structure, I have a table called lab tests and a field in that table for Vane shear results. Picture below shows a sample of that table for a boring with multiple field and lab tests at various depths.
My template is setup to output the test results in a tests column on the loga shown in the picture below
Note the Vane shear result is shown for sample S-2 as "VS=3 KSF" (yes I am aware that this makes no sense, it is an example only)
2. If you are using the gint std us lab data structure and library or a library that was derived from it, there is no field specifically set for vane shear test result data. However you can show the results on the logs using the other tests field in the sample table. I have shown an example use of this in the picture below.
Note that I have added a line to the sample table at 3.0 ft, set the sample length 3.2 in, set the sample type to VA, sample number to 1 and in the other tests column enter VS=3 KSF. The output from this entry using the General BH template is shown in the picture below.
Note the output shows the vane sampler symbol, sample number and results at the proper depth. Again, this is just an example and may not make sense.
3. Example 2 above does not store the vane shear results as usable data that can be easily plotted or summarized with statistics. If you wish to do that with the gint std us lab data structure, or a derivative of it, you will need to edit the data structure to add a field for vane shear (probably in the sample table would be the easiest). You will then need to modify all the log templates that you will be using to add the data to the output entities as appropriate. For the gint std us lab library, this is not very straight forward as the logs are smart logs and employ more advanced features such as blocks, component descriptions, user variables, etc. I can help with that if this is what you want to do and you can clarify the data structure you are using, the library you are using, and the desired output.
Hope this helps answer your question.
