Popis: Mediterranean deltaic environments typically produce soil deposits in which silts dominate, granular intercalations are frequent and the mineralogy includes an important carbonate fraction. One question still open is what sampling methods are most appropriate to recover undisturbed samples from these deposits and how best to evaluate disturbance on samples recovered from them. In this paper we present results from a testing campaign on silty deposits in which several sampling methods (Sherbrooke, Osterberg, Shelby) were used to recover sandy and silty clay samples from a Holocene lagoon deposit. Sample quality is established on oedometric specimens using normalized void ratio change on reconsolidation, comparisons of laboratory and field shear wave velocity and the ratio of suction to vertical « In situ » effective stress. Normalized void ratio change and shear wave based criteria are in agreement, and more so if the laboratory measurements are taken just after resaturation. The ratio of suction to normalised vertical effective stress shows no clear relation with normalized void ratio change. The research reported here was partly supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science (TRA2009_0076) and FEDER.
