Research on the disintegration characteristics of fissured loess under water–vibration coupling effect by Tao Lei, Jiading Wang, Shaotong Jiao

“…To reveal the disaster mechanisms, this study conducted water-vibration coupled disintegration tests on fissured loess using the self-developed EDS-600 vibration disintegration apparatus, based on the measured dominant vibration frequencies (12–46 Hz) of the Lanzhou-Qinghai Railway. The influence patterns of vibration frequency (f) and fissure type (t) on disintegration rate (S), disintegration velocity (V), and disintegration velocity growth rate ( $$\alpha_{f - t}$$ ) were systematically investigated, with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) employed to uncover microstructural evolution mechanisms. …”
