B. Objective
This experimental work is intended to check the soil characteristics
visually about the color, the grain size, and the type of the soil. The
experimental work is also conducted to take an undisturbed soil sample
that will be used in the next practicum.

Boring Log
Boring log is a result boring note that is used as the identification of the
soil layer type. In the boring log contain some information, such as:
The depth of the soil layer
Point surface elevation, soil layer elevation, and water soil surface
elevation
Graphically soil type symbol
Soil description: type of soil, color, consistency/density
Position and the depth of the samples in undisturbed and disturbed
condition
General information about the name of the project, location, date, and the
person responsible of boring work

PRACTICUM
A. Practicum Preparation
1. Preparing the practicum tools and equipment
2. Choosing the boring point and cleaning the soil surface from grass
and stones
3. Giving oil to the edges of the steel rod
B. Procedure
1. Placing the Auger Iwan on the Boring rod and in the boring point
2. Spinning the boring in clockwise and giving it some loads. The
boring rod has to be perpendicular
3. Inserting the Auger Iwan into the soil until it reaches 30 cm depth,
then taking the disturbed soil sample and placing it in the plastic
4. In the 1 meter depth, changing the Auger Iwan with socket and tube,
then placing the hammer load onto the steel rod for sinking the tube
to the soil and taking the undisturbed soil
5. After the tube is full of soil, lifting the tube, getting it off from the
socket, and then closing both of the edges of the tube using wax. The
sample taken is the undisturbed soil sample

ANALYSIS
A. Practicum Analysis
This experimental work is intended to check the soil characteristics
visually about the color, the grain size, and the type of the soil. The
experimental work is also conducted to take an undisturbed soil sample
that will be used in the next practicum.
Before we started the hand boring and sampling practicum, we
needed to prepare the tools and equipment such as the Auger Iwan, two
steel rods and its spinner, holder rod, wrench, three tubes for three
groups, socket, hammer load, plastics and oil. There was one tool that
was not used in the actual practicum, the wax.
Auger Iwan is used to take the disturbed soil sample at the depth of
more less 0.3 m. First we had to choose the point where we will conduct
the practicum, when we found the point, we cleaned the grass just above
the soil, and we took auger iwan and two steel rods and its spinner to put
the auger iwan into the soil so the soil will be taken to the auger iwans
tube. We spun the Auger Iwan with the help of two steel rods connected
to the Auger Iwan and to fasten it went inside the soil, one of the
students could sit above the steel rods and being spun by the other
students.
After we saw the auger iwan was full of soil, we took it out again
using rods and wrench, it was hard to pull it off because of the rain. The
soil sample taken by the auger iwan was the disturbed one. Before we
placed the disturbed sample in a plastic, we could classify what type of
soil by observing the texture, color and size then wrote it down on the
boring log. After Using Auger Iwan, we used another steel rods, thin

CONCLUSION
Hand Boring can be done to determine the characteristic of soil
visually by observing the color, texture, and size
The two samples that were taken by doing this practicum is
classified as the silty clay and clay soil
As we went deeper of the soil layer , it also has more water content
