the low shear strength a clay reaches after large displacement along a slip surface, when particles align parallel to shearing.

In geotechnical engineering, residual shear strength refers to the low shear strength a clay reaches after large displacement along a slip surface, when particles align parallel to shearing. This meaning comes from Skempton (1985) in Géotechnique.[1]
