Strength properties, microstructural evolution, and reinforcement mechanism for cement-stabilized loess with silica micro powder

Natural loess has poor engineering properties because of its own loose and porous nature. To meet the needs of engineering construction, this study attempted to add silica micro powder mixed with cement into loess to improve its mechanical properties. The direct shear test, triaxial shear test, and...
