Abstract
It is known that reduction and degradation of soil strength and stiffness during cyclic loading typically result in damage to structural foundations and earth structures due to excessive settlement and tilting and may cause slope instability and embankment failure. Case histories, representing damages during earthquakes, due to this phenomenon are numerous. It is the guiding principle of this paper to present an overview of degradation characteristics of combined clay-shale samples under cyclic loading and describe how this phenomenon can be utilized in evaluating the seismic stability of slopes involving colluvium.
