Slopes in stiff-fissured clays and shales
Case histories and probable causes of slope failures in stiff-fissured clays and shales are reviewed, and analyses are described which show that shear stresses around excavations are much larger for conditions representative of heavily overconsolidated clays (high initial horizontal stresses) than for conditions representative of normally consolidated clays (low initial stresses); higher horizontal stresses before excavation result in higher factor of safety corresponding to development of local failure.
