A Micro-structural Study on Hydro-mechanical Behavior of Loess, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Jafarzadeh, Fardin (Supervisor) ; W. W. NG, Charles (Supervisor)
Abstract
Loess soil layers in semi-arid to arid areas have been deposited through the accumulation of aeolian sediments, resulted in a special metastable and open structure being usually unsaturated in nature. Since naturally occurred loess is widespread, it has been recently considered as a promising resource for constructing earth-fill structures. However, due to different microstructures of intact and recompacted loess, different responses to hydraulic and mechanical loading would be expected. Up to now, the hydro-mechanical behavior of loess from different perspectives has not been linked to its microstructural characteristics. The current research, therefore, aims to provide insight into the...
