Non-coaxiality has been recognized as an important feature of grain materials in geotechnical engineering. Without considering the non-coaxiality in structure design will lead to an unsafe result. Studies on the non-coaxial soil behaviour have been carried out both using numerical simulation and experimental testing by several researchers. To discuss the non-coaxiality of sand, it is essential to carry out tests under various stress paths. HCA is a valuable device to investigate the soil behaviour under various stress paths. In this paper, a review of the experimental work on non-coaxial soil behaviour especially using HCA is presented to help the understanding of both non-coaxiality and the use of HCA.
