An integrated geotechnical–geophysical investigation of soft clay at a coastal site in the Mekong Delta for oil and gas infrastructure development

Abstract: 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 be… Show more

“…5, it can be seen that the soil type of all 11 canal-side roads at depth level 2 was the high plasticity clay, which is similar to the typical values reported by Kaufman and Hoekstra (2001). However, the electrical resistivity values of soil samples collected by many researchers were revealed in between < 1 and 12 Ωm (Giao et al 2004(Giao et al , 2008. The fluctuation of soil resistivity depends on their composition which in turn is influenced by region.…”

“…Finally, some authors combine as much information as possible from several geophysical and geotechnical methods to characterize an environment : Cosenza et al [2006] for example simultaneously use the dynamic penetrometer, the vane shear test, ERT, GPR and seismic refraction while Giao et al [2008] use drilling parameter recordings, cone penetrometer, field vane shear test, laboratory results and resistivity data.…”
