Provide a brief description of the term stress path as related to stress conditions in a soil mass.
Throughout the loading and unloading the stress path can be used to display the succeeding stress states in such a soil test sample. The set of Mohr circles can also be considered to represent their sequential stress states, however, the quantity of circles through one diagram is hard to depict. The figure demonstrates the amount of Mohr circles in by holding σ3 and that σ 1 on the plane σ -t. A sequence of stress points could also represent the subsequent stress states, as well as a locus of such points, is acquired (in the shape of a straight and perhaps curve). The locus is termed as the direction of tension. The stress marks could be moved to both the p-q plane on the σ -t plane. The stress positions co-ordinate in the p-q plane could be identified as:
