Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

Due to the special soil-forming environment and process, grain-size distribution, and mineral
composition, loess has some poor engineering properties, such as high compressibility …

A series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to
characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy. In addition …

Understanding water seepage in loess is important for engineering constructions and geo-
hazard prevention in loess regions. However, the saturated seepage behavior of remolded …

Statistical analysis of 44 loess tunnel collapse accidents in the past 15 years as related to
causes and characteristics are discussed in this study. First, several statistical indicators …

Molding water content and compaction degree are the major factors driving differences in
the microstructure, which has a control on the permeability of compacted loess. Although the …

Thin loess deposits are widespread soil parent materials and important archives for
paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The origin of loess in SW Poland is attributed to the …

The structural strength of the Loess-Paleosol Sequence (LPS) and the presence of
paleosols within the LPS have significant implications for tillage and understanding past …

The pore structure is an important feature of loess fabric and significantly influences the
hydraulic properties. The evolution of pore structure during loess collapse has been …

The shear-strength anisotropy of loess-paleosol sequences (LPS) provides vital information
for engineering and construction activities and mitigation against geological disasters. The …
