Identifying Collapsible Soils from Seismic Cone (SCPT): A Qualitative Approach
Collapsible soils are unsaturated low-density soils that undergo abrupt settlement when flooded without any increase in the in-situ stress level. The first stage of the site characterization is identifying collapsible soils, since these are problematic ...

In-situ evaluation of collapsible loess through time-domain reflectometry
It is urgent to propose a new technique for the in-situ evaluation of collapsible loess, as the existing methods are time- and cost-consuming, and may lead to inevitable sampling disturbance.

Soil–water characteristic curve of unsaturated collapsible soils
Collapsible soils are almost found in unsaturated states and involved significant engineering problems. Geotechnical challenges of such soils are represented by the hydro-mechanical behaviour during wetting–drying cycles due to the humidity and climate ...

A discussion of the test pressure of collapsible coefficient for Q2 loess
Collapsible coefficient is an index to evaluate loess collapsibility, which is measured by laboratory test with collected intact samples. Collapsible coefficient varies with normal pressure loaded in test.

Earth Pressures of Overconsolidated Collapsible Soil Subjected to Inundation [PDF]
Collapsible soils are known as problematic soils, which can be found in many regions around the world. Collapsible soils possess considerable strength when they are dry; however, when they are inundated, they lose their strength and exhibit excessive ...

The Study of the Effect of Drainage Conditions on the Collapse Potential of Soil [PDF]
Collapsible soils are one of the problematic soils, as they exhibit good stability in dry conditions but undergo sudden and significant settle-ments upon water entry.

Feasibility of using electrokinetics and nanomaterials to stabilize and improve collapsible soils
Loess as a subcategory of collapsible soils is a well-known aeolian deposit generally characterized as a highly-porous medium with relatively low natural density and water content and a high percentage of fine-grained particles.
