The formation mechanism of geological disasters on loess fill slopes revealed by the deformation characteristics of remolded loess under different stress paths by Shuran Meng, Shuran Meng, Dunyu Lv, Dunyu Lv, Ru Liu, Mancang Yu, Mancang Yu, Jianyu Zhang, Jianyu Zhang

“…In order to deeply understand its deformation and failure laws and promote the disaster prevention and mitigation work, this paper takes remolded loess as the research object, systematically explores the effects of three different stress paths (conventional triaxial compression test (CTC), triaxial compression test with constant average principal stress (TC), and triaxial compression test with reduced confining pressure (RTC)) on its mechanical properties, and observes and analyzes its microstructural characteristics by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the soil is strain hardening under the CTC path, while it is strain weak hardening under the TC and RTC paths. …”
