An adequate site investigation of soft clays is important for construction of oil and gas facilities on coastal areas in the Mekong Delta. This paper presents an integrated geotechnical–geophysical study of the soft clay deposit at the Ca Mau site, located on the west coast of southern Vietnam. The geotechnical data were analyzed to provide a detailed characterization of the subsoil profile and soil parameters that can be used in the design works. It is also the first time the electric imaging procedure has been successfully applied in the Mekong Delta to assist the local geotechnical engineers in site investigation of a very soft clay deposit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
