| Abstract | A study has been carried out on the effect of stress path geometry on drained soil brittleness as measured in the laboratory. It shows that an explicit relationship exists between brittleness and stress path geometry for soils of given peak and post-peak strength envelopes. For the particular case of triaxial testing, four typical effective stress paths of shearing have been considered. The results indicate that the conventional drained triaxial test yields the highest brittleness, either when the stress paths are reaching failure at the same confining stress or when they start at the same consolidation pressure prior to shearing. The practical implications of the study are discussed. |
