The potential collapsible deformation of loess surrounding rock is not conducive to the safety
and stability of the tunnel, especially under rainfall conditions, which may induce severe …

Seismic subsidence of loess had been verified by microstructure characteristic, dynamic
triaxial test and in situ simulation test using blasting vibration. It has gradually become a …

With the rapid increase in the construction of loess tunnels, more and more problems are
encountered during the construction process, especially regarding the issue of collapse in …

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 …

Tunnelling in ground fissure areas is prone to collapse even with reasonable reinforcement.
Based on the collapse of a tunnel in **'an Metro Line 3 near a ground fissure, potential …

Affected by groundwater fluctuations, the loess around the hydro-fluctuation zone near the
groundwater table is frequently subjected to periodic dry-wet cycles. The investigation on the …

Using the major land-creation project 'to bulldoze mountains to build cities' implemented in
the city of Yan'an as an example, the collapse potential, microscopic observations …

In this paper, influence of freeze-thaw (FT) cycles on the microstructure and hydraulic
conductivity were investigated on saline intact loess specimens by infiltrating sodium sulfate …

Loess is an aeolian, nonstratified deposit. Loess collapsibility is considered to be closely
related to its microstructure. The three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of loess specimens …

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