Experimental Research on Compression Characteristics of Compacted Loess

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of compression tests were conducted on the samples taken from compacted soil site in Lulling, in order to investigate the compressibility of compacted loess in different water content and different compaction energy. Through statistics analysis of the testing data, the stress-strain curve of compacted loess could be expressed with Hyperbolic form. And the relation between initial tangent modulus and water content change coefficient was founded by introducing the water content change coefficient. The result shows that at the same compaction energy, the initial tangent modulus decreases and the ultimate strain increases as water content increases; while at the same water content change coefficient, the initial tangent modulus increases and the ultimate strain decreases as compaction effort increases.
