Incineration bottom ash (IBA) holds attractive potential as a construction material, yet its shear behavior under cyclic loading remains insufficiently understood. This study comprehensively characterizes the monotonic and cyclic simple shear behavior of Singapore-derived IBA under constant volume conditions, with particular emphasis on its reuse potential in dynamic load-bearing applications. Key findings reveal that: (1) The material exhibits marked strain-hardening characteristics, demonstrating a density-dependent friction angle increment from 38.3° (loose state) to 42.5° (dense state). (2) Mechanical performance shows strong dependence on Si-Ca-Fe/Al ternary chemical composition and particle gradation characteristics. (3) Distinct failure modes emerge under different loading conditions - liquefaction dominates under unidirectional cyclic simple shear (UDCSS) conditions at low cyclic stress ratios (CSRs) and confining pressures, while bidirectional cyclic simple shear (BDCSS) loading induces cyclic mobility failure at elevated CSR levels, with corresponding cyclic resistance ratios (CRRs) showing a 30 % reduction in BDCSS compared to UDCSS configurations. (4) Pore pressure ratio (Ru) evolution follows a triphasic pattern: liquefaction failures exhibit rapid Ru acceleration in initial and tertiary phases (terminal Ru > 0.9), contrasting with cyclic mobility failures characterized by decaying Ru growth rates and lower terminal Ru values. (5) Notably, the established correlation between CRR and normalized shear wave velocity (Vs1) aligns closely with that of sand-gravel mixture with 5 % fines, which demonstrates the comparable cyclic load-bearing capacity of IBA to that of conventional construction materials. The study highlights the effect of load direction, particle size, and mineralogy in design applications and supports IBA's suitability for reuse in infrastructure subjected to dynamic loads.
