Abstract
The micro-pore characteristics in undisturbed loess have a profound influence on the permeability characteristics. Based on the results of permeability test, it is proved that the permeability coefficient of soil samples with the same porosity ratio is different and the internal characteristics are diversified. The internal pores of undisturbed loess were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that there are obvious differences in the internal microstructure of the original loess with the same porosity ratio. There are root holes in undisturbed loess, the number and size of which directly affect the value of permeability coefficient. With the increase of pore diameter, the pore size distribution changes gradually, and the influence of small pores is gradually weakened, while the influence of large pores is more obvious. Therefore, only the pore ratio parameter used in engineering can not completely describe the pore characteristics of soil, it is necessary to introduce other microscopic parameters to describe.
