Abstract: Based on the results of a large number of physical and mechanical tests, microstructure analysis and previous studies, the sedimentary environment, microstructure classification, mineral composition of soft soils are analyzed, and the geologic origin of super-soft soil and the reasons for poor engineering properties are explained. Moreover, the distribution and main physico-mechanical properties of soft soil in various regions of the Pearl River Delta are analyzed, and the engineering properties of soft soils in the Pearl River Delta are compared with that in other coastal areas in China. Thus, the research can serve as good reference for construction projects in the Pearl River Delta area.

Key words: the Pearl River Delta area; soft soil; physicomechanical properties; contrastive analysis
