strengthened regulations for land use. construction and geotechnical design in quick clay
areas (ref. /11/). For all new construction projects in areas with quick clay (known or
unknown). the guidelines give Clear instructioos for how to deal with the geotechnical issues.
The reduction is substantial for naturally triggered slides. However, at the same time there
seems to be an increase for slides triggered by human activity, indicating that dissemination
to involved parties of existing knowtedge abowt quick clay hazards - and existing legislation -
still is important.
