DETERIORATION MECHANISM OF LOESS FROM ILI VALLEY REGION OF CHINA UNDER WET AND DRY CYCLES: EVIDENCES FROM SHEAR TESTS

Deterioration mechanism of loess from Ili valley region of China under wet and dry cycles: evidences from shear tests

The properties of loess in the Ili region of China are significantly affected by repeated cycles of rainfall and evaporation.It is thus essential to investigate the deterioration mechanism of loess subjected to the wet and dry cycles.This paper employs various methods, including the direct shear and triaxial shear tests, as well as the scanning ele
