Review of chemical stabilizing agents for improving the physical and mechanical properties of loess

Due to the special soil-forming environment and process, grain-size distribution, and mineral composition, loess has some poor engineering properties, such as high compressibility, strong water sensitivity, and severe collapsibility. These poor properties lead to frequent occurrence of geological disasters and engineering problems in loess area, so loess is often strengthened in engineering projects. Compared with the traditional methods, the...
