Abstract:Collapsible soils are susceptible to large volumetric strains when they become saturated. Numerous soil types
fall in the general category of collapsible soils, including
loess, a well-known aeolian deposit, present throughout
most of Indiana. Loess is characterized by relatively low
density and cohesion, appreciable strength and stiffness
in the dry state, but is susceptible to significant
deformations as a result of wetting.
