Abstract:This study conducts an in-depth analysis of the loess engineering geological characteristics in Cui Mountain, Shawan, Xinjiang. It focuses on exploring the physical and mechanical properties, collapsibility characteristics and treatment methods of the loess. The study area is located in Cui Mountain, south of Shawan County. The loess mainly comes from the Gurbantunggut Desert in the northern basin. Through the layout of exploration wells and sampling analysis, it is found that the loess in Cui Mountain is mainly low-liquid-limit silt, with the characteristics of a medium to weak perviousness and strong collapsibility. The study uses a variety of statistical analysis methods to reveal the internal relationship between the collapsibility coefficient and physical indicators such as the void ratio and plasticity index, and proposes effective foundation treatment schemes including dynamic compaction, pre-soaking and cushion methods. The results of this study provide important references for engineering construction in Cui mountain and its surrounding areas.
