Geotechnical engineering

failure of strain-softening soil in which local overstress drops strength to residual values and spreads along a slip surface, so average strength is below peak.

In geotechnical engineering, progressive failure refers to failure of strain-softening soil in which local overstress drops strength to residual values and spreads along a slip surface, so average strength is below peak. This meaning comes from Bjerrum (1969) in Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division.[1]
