Multi-Scale Mechanical Characterization of Improved Loess Under Dynamic Load and Determination of Characteristic Value of Coarse Particle Content

Key Points

• Improved loess exhibits enhanced mechanical properties under dynamic load, indicating better stability.
• Dynamic load testing showed a significant increase in the characteristic value of coarse particle content within improved loess.
• Multi-scale analysis of mechanical properties across various conditions indicates the relevance of coarse particle distribution.
• Understanding these dynamic effects may enable better construction practices in areas with loess soils.
