Experiences with Loess as Foundation Material
Certain characteristic properties governing the behavior of loess as a foundation material have been defined through extensive laboratory and field studies. These studies were primarily limited to loess or loess-like materials. In this paper broad generalizations of many pertinent properties of loess are presented, and their significance is examined on the basis of specific typical experiences with loess as foundation material. Some interesting data gathered by the writer on foundation failures of residences are described, as well as results of laboratory and field studies of the properties of the loess connected with these failures.
