The data shown in Fig ate obtained Irom several C'U tests on a saturated clay which has an OCR of 10 and a preconsolidation stress of 800 kPa. It is assumed that these results are valid for all compression stress paths on this clay. You are going to run a special stress path test on this clay. After consolidation at ρ[0] the cell pressure will be increased in such a way that Δα3 = 0.2 Δα2 until failure occurs. For this special stress path test, fill in the table below and plot the total and effective stress paths. (After C. W. Lovell.)
