應力歷史效應討論著重於應力路徑方向旋轉角的改變，本研究納入「近期」、「歷史事件」綜合考量，使用台北粉土質黏土為試驗材料，並以Reconstituted Sample方式製作試體，設計五組操作變因為事件與事件間的應力路徑長度（Length of Stress Path，LSP）之三軸應力控制壓密不排水試驗（SPCU Test），探討近期應力歷史對台北黏土之應力-應變行為影響。
試驗結果顯示，土壤破壞特徵與初始勁度不受試驗設定影響，然而不同應力歷史下之勁度劣化趨勢相異，歸納出LSP對於兩次應力路徑方向旋轉角之間有交互作用，使得試驗組之間擁有相同的旋轉角，卻有不同的勁度表現，本研究認為除了應力路徑方向旋轉角度之外，LSP及多次的旋轉角度也應納入近期應力歷史。

The recent stress history effect has a significant effect on the stress-strain characteristics under small strain range. Previous research on recent stress history effect focuses only on the change of rotation angle in the direction of stress path. In addition to the rotation angle, the period and historical events have been consider in this study to define the recent stress history. Reconstituted sample of Taipei silty clay was used in this research. Triaxial stress control consolidation undrained test (SPCU test) was perform on five identical samples with different length of stress path (LSP) to investigate the influence of recent stress history on stress-strain behavior of Taipei silty clay.
The test results of the samples show similar strength and initial stiffness except the stiffness deterioration which shows different degrees of degradation. Therefore, it can be conclude that LSP influence the stress-strain behavior indirectly by the rotation angles of two stress paths, which explain the fact that the test have the same rotation angle for the samples, but different stiffness degradation performance. In addition to the rotation angle of stress path, the recent stress history should also consider LSP and multiple rotation angles.
