Abstract
Loess landslides in irrigation districts are common geological disasters in the world. Long-term watering will reduce the soil mechanical properties of the loess, leading to frequent occurrence of landslides. In this paper, using shear strength and compressibility test to explore the effect of dry density and water content on the mechanical properties of loess, The results show that the lower the water content, the greater the effect of dry density change on cohesion and at the same dry density, the internal friction angle of compacted loess decreases with increasing water content; the compressive strain of each test sample increases nonlinearly with the increase of vertical pressure, and the magnitude of the increase gradually decreases. Therefor water content and dry density play an important role in mechanical properties of compaction loess.
