Quick clay

The property of thixotropy ia various degrees of complexity (3). Thixotropic properties may lead to loss of stabiUty as shown by the sometimes catastrophic flow of quick clays, especially ia Norway, Sweden, and Canada (15). [Pg.194]

As a check, Edgars and Karlsrud (1982) also analyzed three quick clay slides including the Rissa slide. They backcalculated viscosities of 0.2-0.4 kPa s for the subaerial quick clay slides. [Pg.478]

The dependence of the CCC on the ionic strength may be related to diverse soil colloidal phenomena, such as landslides. A particular example is that of quick clays. The term quick clay refers to a clay whose structure collapses completely at remolding and whose shear strength is thereby reduced almost to zero (Rankka... [Pg.186]

Quick Clay. A term in soil mechanics for a clay that, when undisturbed, has a certain shear strength and can be regarded as a solid body but which, when remoulded, can be regarded as a liquid (cf. thixotropy). [Pg.250]
