The experiment on foundation improvement by dynamic compaction in Collapsible Loess foundation of the power plant was made. Before and after the experiment, kinds of in-situ and laboratory tests were performed .Through these tests, the influence of the dynamic compaction on the character of the soil, such as dry density, collapsibility, bearing capacity is analyzed. The effective depth of improvement of foundation is calculated and the conclusion of the efficiency of the foundation treatment by dynamic compaction is made. The choosing of techniques and parameter of the dynamic compaction also is elaborated in the paper, which make an example for other similar construction in the future.
