Abstract

The Project of a tunnel between Europe and Africa under the Strait of Gibraltar has been developing for more than thirty years. During this time, a great amount of geological and geotechnical data has been generated. The complex geology of the area, together with the difficult accessibility to the bottom of the Strait, make the characterization of the involved materials very complex and expensive. The results of geotechnical tests executed on samples from Almarchal Unit have been analyzed by means of statistical methods allowing to obtain geotechnical parameters useful in future steps of the project.
