Abstract
This paper presents a new prototype cell that can perform electrical and compression tests on peaty soils. First tests on peat samples saturated with water at different salinities are presented. These data allowed comparing two models for inorganic sediments and peat in the reliable frequency range determined from calibration with distilled and saline water.
