AbstractSoil behaviour is stress history dependent and stress path dependent and soil parameters, particularly those for stress-strain behaviour, measured in conventional triaxial tests may not represent the behaviour of soil in many civil engineering works.To obtain more realistic parameters it may be necessary to conduct laboratory tests which more closely represent in situ conditions before and during construction.The paper describes equipment developed at The City University to carry out stress path tests simply and economically. A series of CU triaxial tests and stress path tests on reconstituted soil illustrate the dependence of measured soil parameters on stress history and stress path.

The significance of studying soil behaviour in a constant shear stress path to understand rain-induced slope failures and debris flows has long been recognized. Studies with constant shear tests have, however, been limited, and some past results from undisturbed soils appear to show stress path–dependent volume change behaviour. The present study systematically investigates the behaviour of recompacted residual soils in a constant shear stress path using a comprehensive experimental program. It is shown that the results of this test program and previously published data can be interpreted using the concepts of critical-state soil mechanics.
