Abstract
The Bearpaw formation (Upper Cretaceous) which occurs over large areas of Western Canada presents problems in connection with engineering works. These clay shales were consolidated under high pressures, but the load has been removed. A rebound occurred which is a maximum at the shale surface and decreases with depth. The rebound is made up of elastic rebound which occurred immediately upon removal of load and a "time rebound" which is still occurring slowly and involves a softening of the material.
