Collapsibility, composition, and microstructure of loess in China
TL;DR: In this article, the collapse potential, mineralogy, microstructure, and particle morphology of a loess from the Loess Plateau, China, were characterized by double oedometer testing, X-ray diffraction, scanning ele...
Structural characterization of natural loess and remolded loess under triaxial tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure evolution of saturated natural loess from a site in Jingyang, China, during triaxial test along two stress paths was investigated using MIP, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ESEM.

Microstructural evolution of loess soils from the Loess Plateau of China
TL;DR: In this article, a series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy, and microstructural observations were performed on the specimens after various mechanical tests (oedometercollapse tests and triaxial tests).

The water retention properties of a natural unsaturated loess from northern France
TL;DR: In this article, the water retention properties of a natural loess from northern France were investigated on intact block samples that were excavated along a high-speed train line (TGV) that experienced stability problems during heavy rain episodes.
The mechanics of a saturated silty loess and implications for landslides
TL;DR: In this article, the results from an intensive experimental investigation on a loess that was retrieved from a typical silty loess zone in the northwestern Chinese Loess Plateau are presented and interpreted.

Structural stability of subsident loess soil from Praha-Dejvice
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of the loess foundation soil at Praha-Dejvice are described and the analysis of conditions causing subsident loes material is equally applicable to soils of other origins and the problem of the metastable soil structure is formulated in more general terms.
Design Considerations for Collapsible Soils
TL;DR: The existing types of collapsible soils and theories developed to explain collapse phenomenon are reviewed in this article, as well as the methods of recognizing collapsible soil in the field and laboratory.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of aeolian, colluvial and alluvial silt by laser-scanning and bulk magnetic susceptibility anisotropy methods appears to differentiate eolian silt from loessic silts re-deposited by slope processes and flowing water.
Factors and Mechanism of Loess Collapsibility

- 01 Jan 1995
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic internal factors which determine loess collapsibility were presented: composition and structure, porosity, structural bonds, natural water content, structural bond strength reduction, degradation of non-water-resistant microaggregates and the annihilation of capillary forces in water saturated loesses.
Volume Change Characteristics of Partially Saturated Soils
E. L. Matyas,H. S. Radhakrishna +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the principle of effective stress alone is inadequate to explain volumetric behavior of partially saturated soils subjected to external stresses, and the principle is not sufficient to explain the behavior of saturated soils.
