Propriétés caractéristiques des argiles de l'est du Canada
Keyword(s):
The compilation of numerous geotechnical data has allowed the definition of the main physical, mechanical, and hydraulic properties of marine and lacustrine clays of eastern Canada, as well as the establishment of correlations between some of these properties. The possible uses of these correlations are described.This study shows that the clays of eastern Canada exhibit a behaviour similar to that of other clays, but that they are characterized by a higher degree of structuration. Keywords: physical properties, mechanical properties, hydraulic properties, clays, Canada, correlations. [Journal translation]
