Stress path dependency of dilatancy and stress-strain response of sand

The drained loading behaviour of water pluviated Erksak sand is investigated in the triaxial apparatus by varying consolidation history, stress path and loading direction (compression or extension). It is shown that, under identical minor effective principal stress, anisotropically consolidated sand...
