ABSTRACT: In order to realize a seismic risk study, a geological model of the loose deposits stratigraphy on the territory of Saguenay city was generated. The data considered are composed of drilling data, a map of the subsurface deposits, a roc topography model, a numeric field model and of a paper revue. These data are mainly gathered from the hydrogeological database of the -Saint-Jean (PACES-SLSJ). The methodology used for the model completion is described. The model represents the following stratigraphic units: rock, till, glaciofluvial deposits, clay, sand and gravels. This model is the first stage in developing a map of the soil grades susceptible to the seismic site effects on the territory of Saguenay city.

RÉSUMÉ: de la stratigraphie des dépôts meubles sur le territoire de la ville de Saguenay a été réalisé. Les données utilisées pour sa réalisation incluent entre autres des données de forages, une cartographie des formations superficielles, une modélisation de la topographie du roc, un modèle numérique du terrain ues. Ces données proviennent en majeure partie de la base de données hydrogéologiques du P-Saint-Jean (PACES-SLSJ). La méthodologie de réalisation du modèle est décrite. Le modèle représente les unités stratigraphiques suivantes : roc, till, sédiments fluvioglaciaires, argile, sable et graviers. Ce modèle constitue la des classes de sols susceptibles aux effets de site sismiques sur le territoire de la ville de Saguenay.
