Slope failure dynamics and impacts from seafloor and shallow sub-seafloor geophysical data: case studies from the COSTA project
Miquel Canals,Galderic Lastras,Roger Urgeles,J. L. Casamor,Jürgen Mienert,Antonio Cattaneo,M. De Batist,Haflidi Haflidason,Y. Imbo,Jan Sverre Laberg,Jacques Locat,D. Long,Oddvar Longva,Douglas G. Masson,Nabil Sultan,Fabio Trincardi,Petter Bryn +16 more
TL;DR: A review and update from original data and literature reports the current state of knowledge of Storegga, Traenadjupet and Finneidfjord slides from the mid-Norwegian margin, Afen Slide from the Faeroe-Shetland Channel, BIG'95 Slide and Central Adriatic Deformation Belt (CADEB) from continental slope and inner continental shelf settings off the Ebro and Po rivers in the Mediterranean Sea, Canary Slide west of the westernmost, youngest Canary Islands and Gebra Slide off the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory investigations on the lime stabilization of sensitive clays: shear strength development
TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory investigation on the quicklime stabilization of sensitive clays has shown that significant strength increase can be obtained if enough water content above the liquid limit is added to the clays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the nature of organic compounds on fine soil stabilization with cement
TL;DR: In this paper, it is known that organic matter may affect the cementing process in soils, but what happens when cement is added to an organic soil? Both the organic matter content and the nature of this orga...
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity, yield stress, remolded strength, and liquidity index relationships for sensitive clays
Jacques Locat,Denis Demers +1 more
TL;DR: The rheological behavior of some sensitive clays has shown that there are positive relationships between plastic viscosity, yield stress, remolded shear strength, and liquidity index as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinguishing sediment waves from slope failure deposits: Field examples, including the 'humboldt slide', and modelling results
Homa J. Lee,James P. M. Syvitski,Gary Parker,Daniel L. Orange,Jacques Locat,Eric W. H. Hutton,Jasim Imran +6 more
TL;DR: A reassessment of these features strongly suggests that numerous turbidity currents, separated by intervals of ambient hemipelagic sedimentation, deposited the wave fields over thousands of years as discussed by the authors.
