关中地区广泛分布着黄土地层 ,当地下水埋深较浅时 ,湿陷性黄土往往由于地下水的作用 ,常呈饱和状态的非湿陷性黄土 ,简称饱和黄土。当该土层若作建筑物地基 (持力层或下卧层 )被利用时 ,就必须掌握其基本性质和工程特性。根据关中地区部分饱和黄土资料 ,分析和论证了关中地区饱和黄土的基本物理力学性质和工程特性 ,目的为了正确合理地利用饱和黄土地基取得效益 Loess strata are widely distributed in Guanzhong area. When the local depth of groundwater is shallow, collapsible loess tends to be saturated with non-collapsible loess, often referred to as saturated loess due to groundwater. When the soil layer is used as a building foundation (stratum or underburden), its basic properties and engineering characteristics must be known. According to the data of partially saturated loess in Guanzhong area, the basic physical and mechanical properties and engineering characteristics of saturated loess in Guanzhong area are analyzed and demonstrated. In order to gain the benefit of using saturated loess ground correctly and reasonably
