For the purpose of sustaining stress and strain uniformity in a clay specimen and controlling arbitrary strain paths, the authors have developed a strain path controlled mini-triaxial testing apparatus, in which a small size specimen (22.5 mm in diameter and 45 mm in height) is used, In this paper, to investigate shear behavior of day, the authors carried out a series of strain path controlled mini-triaxial test using remolded kaolin clay, As a result, strain path dependent shear behavior is observed, which is quite different from that of drained or undrained triaxial test, That is, as increasing the strain increment ratio R between axial and volumetric strains, the maximum deviator stress increases while the maximum excess pore pressure decreases, and the effective stress path shifts off the failure line, Furthermore, the strain path dependent shear behavior of remolded clay is discussed, following that it is closely related to strain increment ratio and dilatancy.
