Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry-Wet Cycles

Figure 13

Relationship between the shear strength indexes of different dry-wet cycle amplitudes and of the Luochuan soil samples. (a) Relationship curve between the cohesion and cyclic amplitude of the soil samples under different dry-wet cycle amplitudes. (b) Relationship curve between the friction angle and cycle amplitude of the soil samples under different amplitudes of dry-wet cycles.
