This study was undertaken to determine the factors that lead to instability in clay shale, and thus to provide a basis for assessing the probable long-term stability of high crater slopes in clay shales. The conclusion is reached that future design crater slopes must be based on experiences with conventionally excavated slopes. Furthermore, the design of cratered slopes must be conservative, although no experience indicates that the slope inclination must be as flat as the residual angle of internal friction of the site materials.

This report compares various laboratory procedures and equipment used for determining the residual strength of clay shales. The effects of testing apparatus, specimen type, normal load, and rate of displacement on the residual strength of various clay shales were evaluated by relations between residual strength and Atterberg limits, grain size, and mineralogy were examined.
