Dependence of settling criteria of loess soils on genesis and geomorphology

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. Values of nomenclatural criteria of settling of loess soils within regions must be perfected by taking into account genesis and geomorphological position. Settling variants of high moisture (0.6 < G < 0.8) can be present among alluvial loess soils.

2. In the case of a mottled lithological composition including heavy soils with a significant shift in the ε0−ετ/1+ε0 criterion toward negative values, it is advisable to set up limiting values of the criterion differentiated according to the plasticity number.
