Abstract: Many landslides have occurred at slope cuts-embankments adjacent to the Amman-Na'ur-Dead Sea and Irbid-Jerash-Amman highways in Jordan, especially during the last four years that were characterized by exceptional raifall during winter. Clayey beds found in the foundations of the failing areas were responsible for the occurrence of these landslides.
