GUIA DE LOGUEO DE ROCAS Y SUELOS
De las exposiciones de la roca superficial, se puede realizar una descripción de tipo de roca
y de las discontinuidades. Para e logueo de testigos es necesario proveer una descripción
del tipo de roca seguido de descripciones y discontinuidades detalladas.
Descripción de la Roca
b. Color
Se debe utilizar descripciones estándar del color y cuando sea posible se debe incluir
gráficos de color en las fotografías de las exposiciones de campo y de testigos de
perforación.
c. Textura
La textura del tipo de roca debe describirse en términos del tamaño del grano, el cual se
refiere a las partículas componentes o cristales que forman la roca. En algunos casos puede
ser útil incluir descripciones de la forma de los granos. Las descripciones estándar del
tamaño del grano deben ser de la siguiente manera (Geological Society Engineering Group
1977)
Las descripciones para la forma del grano incluyen: equidimencional, aplanada, fibrosa,
angular, sub-angular, redonda, muy redonda
Se utilizan descripciones separadas para la meteorización del tipo de roca y del macizo
rocoso. Se debe describir primero el grado de meteorización o alteración del macizo
rocoso en su totalidad utilizando la terminología mostrada en la tabla 2-1.
Tabla 1-2 Descripción de la meteorización del macizo rocoso (ISRM, 1977)

Meteorización
No hay señal visible de meteorización de la roca; quizás

superficies de discontinuidades.

en el volumen pero el suelo prácticamente no se ha
movido.
El grado de meteorización o alteración del material rocoso a lo largo de las paredes de
discontinuidades individuales o una serie de discontinuidades se deben describir utilizando la
terminología en la tabla 1.3
Se debe incluirlas descripciones de la alteración del material de roca donde sea necesario
utilizando la terminología típica: decolorado, milonitico, brechado, etc.
f. Espacios entre fisuras
El grado relativo de espacios entre fisura (juntas) de roca dentro del tipo de roca debe
describirse de acuerdo con el método sugerido ISRM incluyendo lo siguiente.
La resistencia estimada de la roca debe describirse según el método sugerido por el ISRM
incluyendo el siguiente.
La estimación de la resistencia del material rocoso puede realizarse utilizando la escala R-S
como se muestra abajo y también puede realizarse basándose en la prueba de carga de índice
puntual.

2. PASOS PARA EL LOGUEO DE SUELOS
a. Textura
Todas las descripciones deberían estar completadas con las componentes abajo.
b. Orden
Termina la descripción de textura (ej. ARENA, gravosa, algo de limo, poco arcilla)
antes que las otras descripciones.
c. Roca
ROCAS TIENEN TEXTURA TAMBIEN, siempre debemos describir su
grano(rocas sedimentarias) o cristalinidad (rocas ígneas o metamórficas).
DUREZA ES IMPORTANTE, muchas veces las rocas tienen mayor
permeabilidad, porque las fracturas quedan abiertas, no son tapadas con arcillas. Es
importante para notar la dureza de la roca, si los cuttings son muy finos es probable
que la roca sea blanda; si son más gruesas son probablemente más duras; si la roca
tiene contenido de cuarzo, son probablemente más duras al mínimo en zonas.
Cambios de color puede indicar zonas de fracturamiento/fallamiento pasaje de agua
(Esp. Con óxidos de hierro).
Zonas arcillosas dentro de roca dura frecuentemente indican fallas potenciales.
Como hidrogeólogos, el énfasis está en las cosas que puedan afectar el movimiento y la
calidad del agua subterránea, EXPLICA PORQUE INCREMENTO LOS
RENDIMIENTOS CON AIRE, HABLA CON EL PERFORISTA, él puede decir si
pasamos por zonas duras, fracturas, etc. Muchas veces estoy viviendo incrementos en
rendimiento pero sin explicación. Trata de determinar porque está habiendo agua.
e. Log Plot
Hacer los logueos bien en el campo y pone en forma digital para trabajarlos en
LOGPLOP o STRATER pasando la data a la plantilla de excel.
Cuando cambia los componentes principales (ej. Más de 35% de contenido), eso
incluye orden, cambiamos litología, comentarios que luego tendremos que
actualizar en los programas, muchas veces falta muchos comentarios en loa logueos
y muchos errores en la litología
f. Envio de logueos
Es importante loguear los cuttings rápidamente (ej. Cuando están perforando) y
para enviar la información con el fin de organizar el diseño de los piezómetros.
