AB  - Calcareous siltsare encountered in many offshore areas where oil and gas exploitationsaretak-ing place (e.g., Arabian gulf, southeastof Brazil, south east and north west of Australia). Understanding be-haviorof  calcareous  silts  remainschallenging  as  undisturbed  siltsamples  are  difficult  to  obtain,  and  most studies rely on remouldedsiltsamples. The purpose of this paperis to characterizethe mechanical behaviorof intact  and remouldedoffshore calcareous  silts  from  two  different  water  depths.  The  comparisons  are  done based on microstructure characterizationusing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images supported by in-dex tests, one-dimensional compression tests and undrained monotonic triaxial tests. The results have shown that,except for the critical state friction angle, the behaviour of remoulded silts differs from that of intact silts, due to the change in microstructure, which appears to be more compact with less intact open shellparticles.
