Abstract

In order to find out the change rules of loess characteristics after freeze-thaw circle, Q2 loess samples with different moisture contents were prepared by moistening method. After freeze-thaw circle under different test temperatures and without water supply, tests of liquid and plastic limit, uniaxial consolidation and direct shear were conducted, and the relationships between physical and mechanical indexes of loess and moisture content and temperature were obtained. The results show that plastic index of samples after freeze-thaw circle with natural moisture content increases slightly with the decrease of temperature, compression modulus and shear strength decrease with the increase of moisture content; temperature influence on mechanical property of loess depends on the moisture content of samples, compression modulus decreases with the decrease of temperature, and the decreasing range changes with sample saturation in approximate quadratic function; when moisture content is less than critical value, cohesive force increases with the decrease of temperature, while cohesive force decreases when moisture content is more than critical value; internal friction angles of samples increase with the decrease of temperature, and the increasing range of internal friction angle increases with the increase of moisture content.

Key words
