What is Quick Clays of Eastern Canada about?
This paper summarizes research on quick clays found in eastern Canada along the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers.

There is evidence that overconsolidated deposits have strong rigid bonds between particles that break when loaded, which can lead to large volume changes or exceptional strength loss if drainage is not allowed. Studies have examined the clays
