Experimental Study on Creep Characteristics of Saturated Q2 Loess

Catastrophic failures often occur to engineered infrastructure in areas underlain by saturated loess due to its high moisture content (degree of saturation >85%), low shear strength, and large deformation. Time effect (rheological property) and water are the most important factors affecting t...
