A sample of clay retrieved from the field at a depth of 4m is observed to be heavily over- consolidated and is calculated to exist at a mean normal effective stress of 95 kPa. It has a water content of 39.0 %. Given the following parameters, to what stress path should a dried, crushed and reconstituted slurry sample follow if the aim is to bring it to the same point in v, p' space via isotropic consolidation and swelling? M = 0.95 N = 2.800 at 1 kPa = 0.15 K = 0,04 Gs = 2.74
