Construction on loess soils of small thickness
Loess soils, widespread throughout world, have capacity for subsidence, on wetting, mainly vertically; field and laboratory experiments have established that upper (6 to 8 m) zone of loess soil does not react on wetting under natural pressure and under small (1.0 to 1.25 kg/sq cm) additional pressures due to weight of structure; this fact permits one of following alternatives to be chosen for construction on loess soil of small thickness, depending on type of structure and its purpose -- reduction of pressure on soil or foundation piles driven all way through loess layer.
