Loess soil deposits are widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions and constitute about
10% of land area of the world. These soils typically have a loose honeycomb-type meta …

This study aims to investigate the possibility of using biopolymer (environmental friendly
material) to enhance the mechanical behaviors of collapsible soil. Two types of biopolymers …

The soil injection, using an expandable polyurethane resin, holds a unique potential for
settlement compensation, lifting, and strengthening the foundations of existing buildings and …

Loess soils are aeolian deposits of primarily silt sized soil particles, which are often lightly
cemented. The wind-blown depositional process of loess formation yields a relatively loose …

Collapsibility affects loess engineering stability. Currently, there are two methods used to
determine the collapsibility of loess: the traditional indoor collapsibility test (indoor test) …

Construction over problematic soils is a common problem in many parts of the world, and
one of the effective procedures to tackle this problem is soil stabilization. Accordingly, the …

Loess formation is widely distributed throughout the world and appears often in the form of a
loess and clay mixture. The wetting-induced collapse in such ground conditions is a major …

The primary geotechnical concern of collapsible soils such as loess is their
hydromechanical instability. Upon wetting, metastable aggregates disintegrate, leading soil …

Urbanization and development in arid and semiarid have brought increased interest in the
improvement of water sensitive soils susceptible to volume change. This investigating aims …

Understanding the impact of rainfall leaching on the shear strength of loess is critical for
evaluating loess slope stability. In this study, the effect of rainfall leaching on the shear …
