The fully softened shear strength is an important engineering parameter for first-time slides in cuts in stiff clays, and in compacted clay embankments constructed using high plasticity clays. This paper presents a summary of the available guidelines to properly use this concept in slope stability analysis and to measure it in the laboratory. Updated correlations to obtain fully softened shear strength parameters using soil index properties are also presented.
