Abstract
The study wind farm site is located near-shore in the Ca Mau province, about 35 km far away from Ca Mau city to the East, about 3 km from Ganh Hao town - Bac Lieu province to the South, with a shallow water depth from 2.5 to 3.5 m. An integrated geotechnical-geophysical survey was conducted at the site. In addition to common geotechnical testing, an emphasis in this study was given on PS seismic logging data analysis by Rock Physics Diagnostic (RPD), a method that is more commonly used in analysis of oil and gas well data. As results the subsea soil profile of five layers up to 80 m deep was well characterized by both geotechnical and elastic parameters. In addition, based on the RPD charts one can have a better idea of sedimentological conditions of the young soils at the study site.
