This report presented some experimental tests on soils and the characterization of their mechanical behavior. The laboratory experiments were led on a natural soil extracted from the region of Oran which presents a regular seismic activity, located in the north west of Algeria. %G English %L insu-02411179 %U https://insu.hal.science/insu-02411179 %~ INSU %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-STRASBG %~ SITE-ALSACE
