The field condition is assumed to be the same as the condition of the CU test because the staged construction is usually used in the field. The stability index (SI) using the stress path is introduced and its application is evaluated in the laboratory tests.enfirst research weekstability indexinnovative scientific researchtotal stress patheffective stress pathThe use of stability index for failure prediction of normally consolidated claysAbstract
