Abstract:
Abstract Quick clays are fine-grained soils with high sensitivity that transform into a liquid when remoulded. The deposition history directly impacts the composition and microstructure of natural clays. This study examines the morphology at the nanoscale of two different sensitive Swedish clays (Lödöse and Kärra clay) to establish a connection between the microscopic features and the macroscopic mechanical behaviour observed at their intact and remoulded state. Using in-line holotomography, the nano-scale imaging instrument at the ID16B beamline of ESRF is employed to capture nano-level featu

A flowslide involving more than 2.5 million m3 of sensitive glaciomarine sediment occurred near Terrace, British Columbia (54° 27′ N, 128° 37′ W) sometime between 1 December 1993 and 9 January 1994. Geotechnical measurements confirm the presence of quick clay at the site; mineralogical and geochemical investigations reveal its similarities to the quick clays in eastern Canada, Scandinavia, and Japan.Key words: quick clay, flowslide, glaciomarine sediment, rheology, British Columbia.

Abstract:
AbstractThe term quick clay has been used to denote the behaviour of highly sensitive Quaternary marine clays that, due to post depositional processes, have the tendency to change from a relatively stiff condition to a liquid mass when disturbed. On failure these marine clays can rapidly mobilise into high velocity flow slides and spreads often completely liquefying in the process. For a clay to be defined as potentially behaving as a quick clay in terms of its geotechnical parameters it must have a sensitivity (the ratio of undisturbed to remoulded shear strength) of greater than 30 together

Abstract:
Thick, marine clay deposits in valleys along the Norwegian coast are occasionally subjected to large landslides involving quick clay. Detailed mapping of the extent of quick clay is of great interest for planning and protection purposes, as the position of quick clay within slopes has a major impact on the landslide risk. Ground conditions in the small valley of Buvika, mid-Norway, are characterized by thick occurrences of quick clay, which are documented in numerous geotechnical investigations. The resistivity method is potentially well suited for outlining pockets of quick clay since quick c

Re-establishing high salt concentration in leached low-saline, highly sensitive clays significantly improves their mechanical properties. Long-term effects on quick clay exposed to diffusion of potassium chloride (KCl) from salt wells installed in 1972 at Ulvensplitten, Oslo, Norway, are investigated. The increased undrained and remolded shear strengths, as well as increased Atterberg limits, remain 30 to 40 years later. The undisturbed shear strength increased from less than 10 to 25–30 kPa, and the remolded shear strength increased from less than 0.5 to more than 6 kPa. The liquid limit incr

Abstract. Quick-clay landslides are common geohazards in Nordic countries and Canada. The presence of potential quick clays is confirmed using geotechnical investigations, but near-surface geophysical methods, such as seismic and resistivity surveys, can also help identify coarse-grained materials associated with the development of quick clays. We present the results of reflection seismic investigations on land and in part of the Göta River in Sweden, along which many quick-clay landslide scars exist.

The physicochemical properties of a clay from La Baie, Quebec were found to be typical of Champlain quick clays: very low plasticity, liquidity index greater than 3, sensitivity greater than 500, and pH of about 9.5. The mineralogy is characterized by the abundance of primary or "rock flour" minerals such as feldspar, quartz, amphibole, and calcite, with illite as the principal clay mineral. The pore water chemistry consists predominantly of sodium bicarbonate.

Quick clay slides are quite rare but often leads to major consequences for the society. These type of slides are complex and the true causes leading to a slide is difficult to map since the evidence is destroyed during the slide. Because of this, different theories develop of the causes of the slide based on the same information. It is also problematic to back-calculate the sliding event because the commonly applied concept of perfectly plastic limite quilibrium cannot be applied on many of the landslides in quick clay.

Purpose: One of the major soil problems that the construction industry may face is the presence of a certain type of highly sensitive marine clay, known as quick clay. The quick clay possesses properties that allow the clay to move from being relatively stable to on mechanical impact losing virtually all shear strength and act as a viscous mass. The majority of the Swedish, Norwegian and Canadian landslides, caused by quick clay, have caused significant consequences due to lack of bearing capacity of quick clay. In order to prevent these landslides knowledge about where there is quick clay is

Abstract:
Concentrated flow erosion in rills, pipes, ephermal gullies, and gullies is a major contributor of downstream sedimentation. When rill or gullies form in a landscape, a 3- to 5-fold increase in soil loss commonly occurs. The balance between the erosive power of the flow and the erosion resistance of the bed material determines the rate of concentrated flow erosion. The resistance of the bed material to detachment depends primarily on the magnitude of the interparticle forces or cohesion holding the particles and aggregates together. The effect of soil properties on bed material resistance and
