    Abstract:

    Collapsible loess was collected from a suburban district of Shanxi, China. Dynamic model experiments of different hammer blows were designed to simulate the in-situ test on collapsible loess. The model experiments results showed that the density and shear strength parameters of the soil specimens increased with the increase of blows while the collapsible coefficient of the loess decreased with the increase of blows. However, after eight blows, the vertical displacement, the density, the internal friction angle and the cohesion of the loess were tend to be constant, and the collapsible coefficient was less than 0.015 that means the loess is stable. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope was used and SEM image analysis program was established to study the micro-structure of the specimens. The analysis of results showed that small pores in the soil increased with the increase of the blows; before compaction the content of pores with an equivalent pore diameter under 16 μm was 92.6%, the content of pores with an equivalent pore diameter larger than 16 μm was 7.4% and the content of pores with an equivalent pore diameter less than 4 μm was 66.9%. After ten blows, there were nearly no pores with an equivalent pore diameter larger than 16 μm, while the content of the pores with an equivalent pore diameter less than 4 μm was 81.8%. According to quantitative analysis, the relations between the blows and the plane void ratio, and the equivalent pore diameter were established. Meanwhile, the relations between the collapsible coefficient and the plane void ratio, the equivalent pore diameter were established.
