绪言黄土是第四纪的一种特殊沉积物,大陆上很多地方都有它的痕迹。从工程地质观点看,它具有一系列独特的性质。我国领土二分之一以上的面积分布着成因不同、厚度不等的黄土,它与我国社会主义建设有着密切的关系。但对它的工程性质到目前为止,除生产机关外,还很少有人进行过系统的研究。在苏联对黄土的工程性质进行过大量的研究,对 Introduction Loess is a special sediment in the Quaternary, many parts of the continent has its traces. From the engineering geological point of view, it has a series of unique properties. More than one half of the territory of our country distributes loess with different thicknesses and different thicknesses. It has a close relationship with our socialist construction. However, the engineering nature of it has so far been seldom systematically studied except for the production organs. In the Soviet Union a great deal of research has been done on the engineering properties of loess
