The aim of the study was to reconstruct sedimentary environments of the MR1 core and investigate geotechnical properties of sedimentary facies through the piezocone penetration test (CPTU). A core at the Vinhlong province, Mekong River Delta (MRD), sufficiently presented the Holocene facies of the area. Eight facies were identified based upon sedimentary properties. Characteristics of the units showed
