Experimental study on the cyclic resistance of a natural loess from Northern France [PDF]
In order to analyze the instability phenomenon observed along the Northern High Speed Line of R\'eseau Ferr\'e de France (RFF), soil blocks were taken at a site near the railway, at four different depths (1.2, 2.2, 3.5 and 4.9 m).

Wetting deformation properties of unsaturated collapsible loess
The wetting deformation behavior of unsaturated loess is studied under the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics.Based on the principle of effective stress of unsaturated soil is expressed by intergranular attraction, a constitutive model for wettig ...

Hominin occupation of the Chinese Loess Plateau since about 2.1 million years ago [PDF]
Considerable attention has been paid to dating the earliest appearance of hominins outside Africa. The earliest skeletal and artefactual evidence for the genus Homo in Asia currently comes from Dmanisi, Georgia, and is dated to approximately 1.77-1.85 ...

Static Liquefaction Capacity of Saturated Undisturbed Loess in South Jingyang Platform [PDF]
According to a previous geological investigation, high-speed and long-distance loess landslides in the South Jingyang platform in Shaanxi Province are closely related to the static liquefaction of loess. Considering the typical loess landslides in this area, isotropic consolidated undrained (ICU) triaxial tests and scanning electron microscopy analyses

Field and laboratory investigation of rainfall-triggered slope failure in unsaturated loess soils, New Zealand [PDF]
Shallow rainfall triggered slope failures occur frequently in loess and loess-derived deposits across the South Island, New Zealand. These failures, which occur in both natural slopes and engineered cuttings, impact road infrastructure, residential ...

During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention
