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 1 = 0.15 K = 0.04 Gs = 2.74
