A quick clay is characterized by such a large reduction of its shear strength when remoulded that it becomes a liquid. In practice a clay is called quick when its sensitivity (St), i.e., the ratio of the shear strength in the undisturbed and remoulded states, exceeds a certain value, usually 30-50.
