Abstract Through 7 clayey sand consolidation tests of suction and net mean stress both changing,the variation laws of 7 stress paths were studied in the p-s-v,p-s- ,p-s- and p-s-w spaces with the variation between suction and net mean stress included angle ?. Where p is net mean stress;s is suction;v is specific volume; is volume deformation; is volume deformation in water phase;w is moisture content;? is angle. The test results indicate that net mean stress is a very important factors to the volume deformation;the suction is the first conditions to the moisture changing. The yielding point locus is studied and given a unifying parabola expression in the p-s plane. Finally,using the predecessor test data forecasted yielding point locus laws in the p-s plane that proved the unifying parabola expression is credible.
