| Abstract: | The orientation and origin of fissure systems developed in stiff, over-consolidated glacial lake clays from two localities are described. The attitudes of the fissures are geometrically related to the stress conditions associated with glacial loading and the subsequent removal of overburden. Laboratory tests demonstrate that the presence of fissures have a significant influence on the deformability, permeability and strength characteristics of such clays. |
