Abstract: Drilling and sampling to obtain borehole logs, together with various in-situ testing, are usually performed to determine subsurface soil and rock profiles and their associated engineering properties. However, the number of borehole logs and in-situ testing locations might be limited for a geotechnical project site due to a tight budget and/or project schedule. As a result, subsurface soil and rock profiles and properties can only be investigated at spatially distributed locations where the boreholes are advanced. This means that subsurface conditions at other locations require interpretation � and with interpretation comes uncertainty.
