Research on the Impact of Moisture Content on the CBR Value of Shanxi Loess

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several typical soil samples in Shanxi Province were selected. Laboratory experiments were adopted to study the CBR of the three kinds of soil samples with different compaction and different water content. Orthogonal experiment was used to analyze the impact of factors including water content, compaction and soil sample category on the CBR value. The result shows that the moisture content has great impact on CBR value and the CBR value is maximize under optimum moisture content and maximum degree of compaction condition, while the not flooded CBR is decrease with the increasing of water content.
