The Loess Modified Methods for Defending Seismic Loading and its Microstructure Analysis

Loess with large thickness is widely distributed mainly in Gansu provinces of China. The kind of loess has special microstructure to induce lower dynamic strength and larger seismic deformation. It brings to difficult loess processing challenges for engineering building foundations or high way and railway constructions. The large deformation dangers could induce to serious seismic subsidence, watering deformation or loess landslip. There have been series problems of how to change its natural microstructure for engineering demanded which is major concerned in this paper. We put forward Phosphoric modified methods to treat loess problems. By changing different proportions of adding filling materials, such as Calcium carbonate, barite, talcum powder, and others auxiliaries including phosphoric acid and barium metaborate, found it get to be better effect. It’s dynamic deformation coefficients dropped lower than 2‰. After loading test, the methods prove to be greatly enhanced loading strength and changed its unreasonable microstructure. Because of no toxicity materials be adopted and produced during course, the method can be popularized and applied.
