Abstract
The significance of using strain path testing in the study of soil behaviour is highlighted in this paper. The testing techniques, testing procedures, and the control accuracy are discussed. Strain path testing results on dense sand are presented which show that the strain hardening or softening behaviour of dense sand is greatly influenced by the strain path controlled during the testing.
