Loessial soils have high porosity, in the range of 45 梅 50%, and most of them are collapsible, meaning that settlements occur after flooding. During the earthquake, through loess collapse, pore water pressure i
An experimental investigation was made to ascertain the liquefaction (cyclic strength) behavior of loessial (silty) soils of low plasticity. This study is important in view of the seismicity of several regions of loessial deposits in the world.;The test program consisted of cyclic triaxial tests ...
