The Lemieux landslide photo (left) of an earlier unstable clay soil or quick clay landslide is from the Canadian Department of Natural Resources. The May 2010 Times article explained that because the unstable clay formed in salt water the molecular structure of its particles is unstable (compared with clays formed as layers in fresh water).

Quick clay landslides are of two main types – stepwise and uninterrupted. In stepwise landslides, sufficient failed material liquefies that the debris from each step flows away from the slide scarp, leaving an unsupported unstable slope that, in turn, fails and flows away. The deadliest quick clay landslide in Norway’s history occurred on May 19, 1893, in Verdal, Trøndelag county. Heavy rainfall throughout the winter and spring floods on the Helgåa river turned the clay into a soup.

The deadliest quick clay landslide in Norway’s history occurred on May 19, 1893, in Verdal, Trøndelag county. Heavy rainfall throughout the winter and spring floods on the Helgåa river turned the clay into a soup. The landslide occurred in increments with the first temporarily damming the river up to a height of 10 meters.

The phenomenon has been the main cause of numerous massive landslides that have occurred throughout the history (more than 250 recorded in Canada). We study the rheology of quick clay, an unstable soil responsible for many landslides. We show that above a critical stress the material starts flowing abruptly with a very large viscosity decrease Se hela listan på en.wikipedia.org Quick clays are glaciomarine deposits that are mostly found in the Northern Hemisphere including many parts of Norway. Quick clay landslides have caused severe impacts on human civilization mostly due to their large size and the absence of an alert mechanism.

Quick clay landslide

Quick-clay landslides are common geohazards in Nordic countries and Canada. The presence of potential quick clays is confirmed using geotechnical investigations, but near-surface geophysical methods, such as seismic and resistivity surveys, can also help identify coarse-grained materials associated with the development of quick clays.

Quick clay landslide

It develops retrogressively, which means it starts at the bottom and goes backwards in the terrain as the quick clay is overloaded when the clay below has collapsed. The landslide masses flow down along the terrain.
