ABSTRACT
A total of 14 papers were contributed to this session. While all of them are of high technical quality they lack an obviously unifying subject. Therefore this report will first describe in parallel some the most relevant traits of the different contributions and would then highlight the results that have seemed more relevant from the point of view of the equipment used or the geotechnical property discussed. A final section is dedicated to the issue of geotechnical profiling which is, perhaps, the one that is relevant to most papers in the session.
