Occurrence and geotechnical properties of loess in Canada
Abstract Sweeney, S.J. and Smalley, I.J., 1988. Occurrence and geotechnical properties of loess in Canada. Eng. Geol., 25: 123–134. There are modest amounts of loess in Canada. As in most of North America it is probably produced by a combination of glacial grinding and cold weathering. Atterberg limits of Canadian loess are comparable with reference samples from the U.S.A. A deposit at Kamloops in British Columbia suffers a 15% linear collapse when loaded and wetted. Earlier estimates that the deposit was more than 100 m thick are probably in error; only the top part of the sedimentary deposit is loess.
