Evolution and Influencing Mechanisms of the Yili Loess Mechanical Properties under Combined Wetting-Drying and Freeze-Thaw Cycling

Evolution and Influencing Mechanisms of the Yili Loess Mechanical Properties under Combined Wetting-Drying and Freeze-Thaw Cycling

Landslides frequently occur in the loess-rich Yili region of Xinjiang, China, due to the combined effects of wetting-drying and freeze-thaw (WD-FT) cycles, which cause changes in the soil/loess internal structure and shear strength. This paper explores the combined effect of WD-FT cycles on the shea...
