Abstract. The increasing number of cut slopes in Hong Kong, its rugged topography, high population density and scarcity of land, in addition to the complex nature of the weathered rock masses and adverse climatic conditions, inevitably magnify the potential for cut slope failures. With the extension of residential and infrastructural development into the New Territories in Hong Kong, a large number of slopes are cut in weathered profiles derived from metasedimentary rocks. This paper reviews the engineering properties of the saprolitic soils in these profiles, presents case studies of the field performance of cut slopes, analyses possible mechanisms of instability and provides recommendations on the current local practice of remedial measures.
