Data on characterization of dredging sediment of Safi harbour - Morocco

This data article reports the geotechnical (the water content, the specific density, the Atterberg limits, the methylene blue value and the grain size distribution), chemical (the content of organic matter and calcium carbonate) and mineralogical characteristics of sediments dredged in Safi harbour (Morocco). Samples are collected in seven point (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and P7) of two zones of port (the channel zone and the basin zone), placed in opaque drums and kept in a cold room protected from light. Then the homogeneous samples are mixed. We note S1 the mixture of P1, P2 and P3 correspond to the basin zone of the port and S2 the mixture of P4, P5, P6 and P6 correspond to the channel zone of the port.
