Abstract	The effect of contamination by crude oil has been assessed using samples from hand dug trial pits in the Hai-gang region of the Yellow River Delta. In addition to electrical resistivity and in situ penetration tests, grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, compaction, direct shear test and a micro-structure scan were undertaken. The results show that contamination was in the shape of a plume and non-uniform to a depth of 1 m. The more heavily polluted soil had a higher clay particle content, liquid and plastic limit and compression coefficient. However, no notable correlations were found between oil contamination and shear strength parameters.L’effet de la contamination par du pétrole brut a été évalué à partir d’échantillons prélevés dans des fosses d’essai dans la région de Hai-gang du delta du Fleuve Jaune. En plus de mesures de résistivité électrique et d’essais pénétrométriques en place, des analyses granulométriques, des limites d’Atterberg, des essais de compressibilité et de cisaillement direct ainsi que des analyses microstructurales ont été réalisés. Les résultats montrent que la contamination présentait la forme d’un panache et se développait de façon non uniforme jusqu’à une profondeur de 1 m. Le sol le plus fortement pollué présentait la teneur en argile, les limites de liquidité et de plasticité et le coefficient de compressibilité les plus forts. Cependant, aucune corrélation significative n’a été trouvée entre la contamination en hydrocarbure et les paramètres de résistance au cisaillement.
