The development of progressive failure in sensitive clay slopes is analysed using principles from fracture mechanics, where failure stress depends on a material property (toughness) and length of an existing weakness, unlike traditional soil mechanics where failure stress is generally assumed to be only a function of material strength. An existing weakness, or partially developed failure surface, can propagate due to sudden loads, as might be induced by seasonal erosion cycles, small local landslides at a river bank or earthquake shaking. The paper examines the growth of the failure surface over time due to such loads. The analysis shows that a large landslide in sensitive clay can occur after a number of seasonal erosion cycles with no obvious trigger. It also shows that a larger load due to either a small landslide or earthquake can cause a developing failure surface to propagate freely toward general collapse. Large landslides in sensitive clay are often preceded by a smaller landslide at the river bank, but can be triggered by large earthquakes or may occur for no obvious reason. The agreement between predictions and real behaviour suggests that the model for progressive failure of large landslides in sensitive clay deserves further consideration.
