Figure F40. A. Undrained peak shear strength vs. the ratio between peak shear strength (τpeakfu) and vertical hydrostatic effective stress (σvh′). B. Lithostatic stress (σv) and vertical hydrostatic effective stress (σvh′; assumes hydrostatic conditions) estimated from logging-while-drilling data. Yellow = mass transport deposits (see “Lithostratigraphy”); lithostratigraphic units and seismic reflectors (SF = seafloor) are also shown.
