Investigation on Compressibility and Microstructure Evolution of Intact Loess at Different Wetting States

Loess is widely deposited in arid and semi-arid areas and is characterized by low dry density, developed pore space, and loose structure, which is not commensurate with high structural strength and shear strength in the dry state. Many natural phenomena and experimental results show that intact loes...
