摘要

The writers present a systematic experimental study delivering valuable information on a topic of soil dynamics that lacks information due to the inherent variety and non-homogeneity of organic soils. In order to supplement this study and given that the amount of data in the literature is scarce, the author presents herein results of resonant column tests organic soils tested in the frame of the Preveza-Aktion immersed tunnel project in the western coast of Greece. The three samples tested (V1-V3) have been extracted from two boreholes 60 m apart in the vicinity of the tunnel portals, and show similar characteristics.
