Abstract:Based on the loess strata in Baishuihe bridge area, the relationship between the coefficient of collapsibility and the coefficient of self-weight collapsibility, the relationship between content of self- weight collapsibility and the content of collapsibility have been analyzed. It is concluded that the landform of the study area is the valley terrace. It is located at the leading edge of the terrace. Wet subsident layers are early Pleistocene eolian loess, ancient soil and middle Pleistocene eolian loess. The Collapsible loess are formed by light minerals, heavy minerals and clay minerals. Chemical compositions of loess are SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and CaO. However, collapsibility loess has nothing to do with the mineral composition and chemical composition of loess. Through analyzing collapsibility of loess factors in study area, it is thought that main influcing factors are moisture state, stress state and so on. After analyzing the relationship between coefficient of collapsibility, it is regarded that the content of collapsibility and the depth of collapsibility will increase accompanying with the increase of depth, wet and collapsibility coefficient will increase first and then decrease. It is concluded that the wet sinking level of the foundation in study area is Ⅲ. It is serious wet subsidence. The research results have important significance for the analysis and treatment of the loess collapse in the construction.
