Abstract
In central Edmonton exposures of Quaternary sediments are limited to temporary excavations, however, there is an abundance of information from drilling. Over 600 borehole logs and samples from four boreholes were studied to determine the stratigraphy and distribution of the sedimentary units. The average geotechnical properties of these units are derived from a large data base from engineering consulting companies, the University of Alberta and the City of Edmonton. By correlating the borehole units with interpreted sections located outside of the study area but within the city, the genesis of the sediments in central Edmonton was inferred. The geotechnical implications of the sediments are summarised.
