The cyclic expansion and contraction characteristics of a loess slope and implications for slope stability
Abstract Loess covers approximately 6.6% of China and forms thick extensive deposits in the northern and northwestern parts of the country. Natural erosional processes and human modification of thick loess deposits have produced abundant, potentially unstable steep slopes in this region. Slope defor...
