Cone Penetration Testing and Hydrogeological Monitoring of a Retrogressive Landslide in Champlain Sea Clay
Champlain Sea Clay (also known as Leda Clay) is a sensitive marine clay that was deposited within the limits of the Champlain Sea transgression during the final retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet. Upon isostatic rebound, the watersheds incised deep river valleys throughout the Ottawa region. These …

Determining parameters for stiff clays and residual soils using the self-boring pressuremeter
… Blacksburg and a very stiff, non-fissured, and sensitive clay, of marine origin, known as the Miocene clay of the downtown Richmond area. Testing the residual soil of Blacksburg with the SBPM led to the following new operational approaches: (1) a systematic use of a steel-sheath known as …

A Regional Study on Champlain Sea Clay: Empirical Prediction of Consolidation Parameters and Statistical Characterization of Undrained Shear Strength Based on Historical Geotechnical Data
… of geo-infrastructures on Champlain Sea Clay (CSC) deposits, with a particular focus on the Ottawa Valley region of Eastern Ontario. CSCs are highly compressible sensitive marine clays, which pose serious risks both with respect to deformation as well as short-term stability behavior. …
