The methods for loess collapsibility mainly include field immersion testing method and laboratory testing method. A majority of the results of laboratory testing method differ greatly from the engineering practice. The disadvantages of field immersion testing method are high cost and long testing period. Therefore, a different approach is required. A type of strong collapsible loess under overburden pressure from Ili, Xinjiang is tested based on centrifugal model tests. The results of centrifugal model test...
