Geotechnical characteristics and slope stability analysis of Beaufort Sea marine sediments, offshore Yukon and Northwest Territories : methodology and results / K. MacKillop, D. Ouellette, E.L. King, and...: M183-2/8858E-PDF
"A comprehensive geotechnical laboratory test program was carried out on 23 Beaufort Sea slope-situated piston and gravity cores collected between 2009 and 2016. Geotechnical testing included MSCL bulk density, Atterberg limits, grain size analysis, back-pressured consolidation tests and isotropically consolidated undrained (CIU) triaxial tests. The cores were collected by the Geological Survey of Canada – Atlantic and Pacific, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This open file presents the geotechnical testing methodology and geotechnical results. It provides geotechnical profiles, high-resolution seismic data over most core sites and a preliminary infinite slope analysis of the Beaufort Sea surficial slope sediments"--Preface, page i.
