DOI: 10.1016/j.coldregions.2018.03.021
Abstract: Abstract Densely compacted loess on which many man-made infrastructures are built are often exposed to strong weathering processes such as repeated wetting-drying (WD) and freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. These weathering processes in arid and seasonally frozen… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/buildings13051353
Abstract: The stability of geogrid-reinforced soil structure is closely related to the interface characteristics between geogrid and soil. However, the creep behavior of the soil–geogrid interface is still unrevealed. In this study, using a modified stress-controlled… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/buildings15152625
Abstract: Loess, a typical soil widely distributed in China, exhibits engineering properties that are highly sensitive to environmental changes, leading to increased erosion and the development of surface cracks. This article examines the influence of initial… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su15086606
Abstract: This paper proposes the addition of an environmentally friendly silicone hydrophobic powder (SHP) to compacted loess to enhance its impermeability and reduce the settlement caused by wetting deformation. A flexible wall permeability test was conducted… read more here.
