3、mmonly applied to geologic, engineering,ground-water, and environmental (hereafter referred to asgeotechnical) investigations. It is not intended to describe thespecific or standard procedures for running each type ofgeophysical log and is limited to measurements in a singleborehole. It is anticipat

Thesetechniques are described briefly in Table 1 and their applica-tions in Table 2.54.2 Many other logging techniques and applications aredescri
19、bed in the textbooks in the reference list. There are anumber of logging techniques with potential geotechnicalapplications that are either still in the developmental stage orhave limited commercial availability. Some of these techniquesand a reference on each are as follows: buried electrode direct

21、 and diameter(48). Many of the guidelines described in this guide also applyto the use of these newer techniques that are still in the researchphase. Accepted practices should be followed at the presenttime for these techniques.5. Significance and Use5.1 An appropriately developed, documented, and e

Calibration and Standardization of Geophysical Logs7.1 General:7.1.1 National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) calibration and operating procedures do not exist forthe borehole geophysical logging industry. However, calibra-tion or
29、standardization physical models are available (seeAppendix X1).7.1.2 Geophysical logs can be used in a qualitative (forexample, comparative) or quantitative manner, depending onthe project objectives. (For example, a gamma-gamma log canbe used to indicate that one rock is more or less dense thananot
30、her, or it can be expressed in density units.)7.1.3 The calibration and standardization scope and fre-quency shall be sufficient for project objectives.7.1.3.1 Calibration or standardization should be performedeach time a logging probe is modified or repaired or at periodicintervals.7.2 Calibration:
31、7.2.1 Calibration is the process of establishing values forlog response. It can be accomplished with a representativephysical model or laboratory analysis of representativesamples. Calibration data values related to the physical prop-erties (for example, porosity) may be recorded in units (forexampl
32、e, pulses/s or m/ft) that can be converted to apparentporosity units.7.2.1.1 At least three, and preferably more, values areneeded to establish a calibration curve, and the interface orcontact between different values in the model should berecorded. Because of the variability in subsurface condition
33、s,many more values are needed if sample analyses are used forcalibration.7.2.1.2 The statistical scatter in regression of core analysisagainst geophysical log values may be caused by the differencebetween the sample size and geophysical volume of investiga-tion and may not represent measurement erro
34、r.7.2.2 Physical ModelsA representative model simulatesthe chemical and physical composition of the rock and fluids tobe measured.7.2.2.1 Physical models include calibration pits, coils, resis-tors, rings, temperature baths, etc.7.2.2.2 The calibration of nuclear probes should be per-formed in a phy
35、sical model that is nearly infinite with respectto probe response.7.2.2.3 Some probes have internal devices such as resistors,but this does not substitute for checking the probe response inan environment that simulates borehole conditions, and the useof such devices is considered standardization.7.2
36、.2.4 Calibration FacilitiesCommonly used calibrationpits or models for use by anyone at the present time are listedin Appendix X1 (14-18). The user should inquire concerningthe present validity of any facility.7.2.3 Sample Analyses:5The references indicated in these tables should be consulted for de
