Abstract
This paper has carried out soaking load test, routine soil test, X diffraction, scanning electron microscopy on coarse-grained soil in Gobi region, analyzed the coarse-grained soil collapsibility and explored the mechanism of collapsibility generation. The results showed that: the coarse-grained soil in Gobi region had a high degree of collapsibility; mineral composition, microstructure and salinity constituted the main internal reasons resulting in such phenomenon. In soaking conditions, the cementation strengthen between grains reduces, the structure is damaged under external force and the grain movement leads to greater settlement.
