Abstract
A simple pneumatic stress path triaxial testing device has been designed. The components of the apparatus and the operation of the system is described. Typical results of drained tests on a sand are presented in order to illustrate the capabilities of the device as a stress path analog and to highlight briefly the stress path dependence of soil behaviour. Keywords: triaxial equipment, pneumatic, stress path.
