Structural Strength Deterioration Characteristics and a Model of Undisturbed Loess under the Action of Wetting and Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Undisturbed loess is affected by external environmental disturbances, such as wetting and freeze-thaw cycles, which cause microstructural changes that have an important impact on the structural strength of the loess. These changes in turn affect the stability of structures such as embankments, slope...
