The stress paths lying below the state boundary surface of a saturated clay were classified into five groups depending on the increment of stresses and stress ratio. The stress-strain behaviour for all these five groups were studied in detail on saturated specimens of Kaolin, in the conventional triaxial apparatus, under stress controlled conditions. Volumetric and shear strain contours were plotted in the stress space for most of the Groups and wherever possible simple equations have been proposed to describe their behaviour.
