“…With the development of railways, highways, power stations, and diversion irrigation projects, saline soil in cold regions is widely used as the foundation and structure of engineering construction projects [2][3][4][5][6]. Deep research into the effects of stress path on soil deformation and strength characteristics is of great significance to the design and maintenance of these projects [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

The stress path is a critical factor affecting the mechanical properties of saline soils. In order to study the mechanical properties of saline soils under different stress paths, in situ saline soils in the Qian’an area of western Jilin province were selected for this study, and triaxial shear tests under six different stress paths were conducted, including the consolidated undrained triaxial test under the conventional stress path under the isobaric consolidation condition; the consolidated drained triaxial test under the conventional, equal p, reduced p, and increased p stress paths under the isobaric consolidation condition; and the consolidated drained triaxial test under the conventional stress path under the K0 consolidation condition. The effects of the consolidation conditions, drainage conditions, and stress paths on the mechanical properties of in situ saline soils were investigated. The results reveal that the stress–strain relationship curves of soil samples decrease continuously in the order of increased p, conventional, equal p, and decreased p, and they all show the characteristics of strain hardening. The stress path curves have the same slope under the same stress path. For different confining pressures, only the relative positions of the curves are different. Under the conventional stress path, the slope is 1; under the increased p stress path, the slope is 1/3; under the equal p stress path, the slope is 3; and under the decreased p stress path, the slope of the curve is −1. For the same confining pressure, the magnitude relationships of shear strength under the different stress paths are as follows: increased p > conventional > equal p > decreased p. For the cohesion c and internal friction angle φ, the consolidation condition has a greater effect on the cohesion c and a smaller effect on the internal friction angle φ; the drainage condition has a smaller effect on the cohesion c and a larger effect on the internal friction angle φ; and the stress paths have a greater effect on both cohesion c and internal friction angle φ.
