Abstract

This article presents the geotechnical characteristics of loess, water sensitive soil. A comparison of loess from around the world is made (Romania, China). These soils are of quaternary age, are found just below the topsoil and most buildings are founded on them. Problems can arise when the foundation on these lands is softened with water from different sources, permanent or casual. The appropriate parameters of geotechnical solutions for improvement will be presented.
