Journal ArticleDOI
Thixotropic and anti-thixotropic behaviors of fine-grained soils in various flocculated systems
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the rheological behavior of clay-rich soils (i.e., Mediterranean Sea and bentonite clays) and clay-poor material (e.g., iron mine tailings) that includes steady state, dynamic response, and hysteresis measurement was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Salinity and Shear History on The Rheological Characteristics of Illite-Rich and Na-Montmorillonite-Rich Clays
TL;DR: In this paper, the geotechnical and rheological characteristics as a function of salinity and the shearing time for the given materials are compared and the clay minerals were compared to estimate the inherent shear strengths, such as remolded shear strength.

Submarine Mass Movements in the Upper Saguenay Fjord, (Québec, Canada), Triggered by the 1663 Earthquake
Jacques Locat,F. Martin,C. Levesque,Pascal Locat,Serge Leroueil,Jean-Marie Konrad,Roger Urgeles,Miquel Canals,M. J. Duchesne +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, extensive submarine mass movements have been mapped in the upper reaches of the Saguenay Fjord, Quebec, Canada, indicating that they were most likely triggered by the 1663 earthquake which shook a large area in Eastern Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
A geomechanical approach for the genesis of sediment undulations on the Adriatic shelf
Nabil Sultan,Antonio Cattaneo,Roger Urgeles,Homa Lee,Jacques Locat,Fabio Trincardi,Serge Berné,Miquel Canals,Sara Lafuerza +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the genesis of seafloor and subsurface undulations on the Adriatic continental shelf by integrating stratigraphic information and in situ and laboratory geotechnical measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Yangsan Clay, Pusan, Korea
TL;DR: In this paper, the preconsolidation pressure (pc) of Kimhae (Yangsan) clay, which is thickly deposited along the Naktdong River, Pusan, Korea, is considerably less than its in-situ effective overburden pressure (p'vo)-The question has arisen whether such a low PC value is due to underconsolidation or to the unreliability of laboratory tests, including the use of low quality sample.
