The geotechnical characteristics of an ice-thrust mudstone, Wabamun Lake area, Alberta / David M. Cruden, S. Thomson, P.C. Tsui.
Title: | The geotechnical characteristics of an ice-thrust mudstone, Wabamun Lake area, Alberta / David M. Cruden, S. Thomson, P.C. Tsui. |
Author(s): | Cruden, David M. Thomson, S. Tsui, P. C. |
Date: | 1989. |
In: | Canadian Geotechnical Journal. (1989.), Vol. 26(2) (1989) |
Abstract: | First detailed report of mechanical behaviour of this mudstone. Fissured and brecciated sample from ice-thrust shear zone behaves as lightly overconsolidated sediment in laboratory tests and shows non-brittle mode of shear deformation with maximum shear strength close to residual. Behaviour is due to weathering and glaciotectonic deformation, which have jointed, sheared, and remoulded mudstone, thus eliminating fabric formed by overconsolidation. |
Notes: | Canadian Geotechnical Journal. Vol. 26(2) :227-234 (1989). |
Keywords: | 551.333 -- Glacial deformation and glaciotectonic structures. E12 -- Glaciology: frozen ground / snow and ice engineering. (*41) -- Canada. (*428) -- Alberta. |
