Study on Preparation of Saturated Unstructured Loess and Its Strength and Deformation Characteristics. Issue 3 (April 2021) - Chu, Feng
Abstract: In the study of geotechnical damage mechanics, the weighted average of the mechanical deformation states of structurally undamaged and structurally completely damaged soils is used to describe the actual mechanical deformation properties of soils. In the past, when the saturated remolded loess was used to simulate the mechanical deformation of loess, the loess still had some initial structural strength. A method for the preparation of saturated unstructured loess is presented. The strength deformation characteristics of saturated remolded loess were compared by lateral compression test and triaxial shear test. The method of preparing saturated unstructured loess is proved to be reasonable.
