Abstract	Test results on Leda clay from eleven locations at Ottawa show that the undrained strength and preconsolidation pressure increase with decreasing elevation in general accordance with classical theory. In those locations where a substantial geological unloading has occurred the strength has been maintained, revealing the importance of true cohesion as a component of shear strength. This field evidence is particularly useful in assessing and interpreting laboratory shear tests on this soil.
