description abstractSlope stabilization procedures for six landslides in the Niigata prefecture in Japan afforded an excellent opportunity to examine the residual drained shear strength of weathered mudstones. Installation of 3 m diameter drainage galleries allowed undisturbed block samples to be collected which contained the slickenside surface of the failure plane. Ring shear tests were conducted on undisturbed samples and remolded samples of the same material. In addition to the laboratory testing, back analysis was performed to calculate the residual shear strength parameters of the slopes. Good agreement was found between the residual friction angles determined from back analysis, tests on undisturbed samples, and tests on remolded specimens. Many of the landslide materials exhibited a small cohesion at low values of effective normal stress, but the secant friction angle achieved a constant value at higher normal stresses.
