Research on Shear Strength of Compacted Loess

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compacted loss widely used in the construction, such as embankment, dam, foundation backfill and other projects. Influenced by rainfall factors, the moisture content of compacted loess often vary so the shear strength will also changed. This paper studies the shear strength parameters of compacted loess through direct shear tests. In the dry density under the same conditions, the cohesion, internal friction angle of compacted loess decreases with the increase of water content. Summed cohesion and water content showed a quadratic parabola and internal friction angle and water content was also found quadratic parabola; further considering the effects of water content and dry density of compacted loess got shear strength formula. Shear strength formula.
