Among the different types of soft sedimentary rocks, mudstones is sensitive against to cyclic wetting and drying known as slaking, leading to significant physical degradation even after one cycle of wetting and drying. In order to examine slaking effects on engineering behaviour of crushed mudstone, a series of direct shear tests were conducted on the crushed mudstone by simulating cyclic wetting and drying under different stress conditions by using a modified direct shear apparatus. It is noted that the creep shear deformation in the first wetting becomes larger as increase in the stress ratio, while it decreases with the progress of cyclic wetting and drying. During the drying process, initially, no appreciable creep deformation is found to occur at higher water content. When the water content of specimen has reached about 2.5 %, both vertical and shear deformations occur progressively with water loss. A gradual decrease of the peak angle of friction is observed with the increasing number of cycles.
