A sub-glacial sediment deformation model from geotechnical and structural properties of an overconsolidated lacustro-glacial clay
article
Geotechnical, structural and microstructural properties were determined of Late-Pleistocene lacustro-glacial clays in the northern Netherlands that were subjected to deformation by the Saalian ice sheet. From these properties a sub-glacial deformation model could be constructed of the clay sequence, depicting an extensively sheared upper zone and a lower zone that was folded, hydrodynamically consolidated and fissured during subsequence phases of ice sheet development. This sub-glacial deformation model can serve as a basis for a model of the distribution of geotechnical properties of the clays which has applications in engineering geology and geotechnical engineering. -from Author
