Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to understand the dynamic behaviors of lignin-amended loess. Dynamic properties tests of lignin-amended loess with different contents and strength tests at optimum content were carried out by using a hollow cylinder torsion shear apparatus. Firstly, the effect of lignin fiber content (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) on the dynamic properties of improved loess was investigated, and the results showed that the optimal lignin content for improved loess was 1%, at which time compared with pure loess the highest increase of the dynamic shear stress in the skeleton curve of the soil was 73.8%, the increase of dynamic shear modulus was 26%, and the decrease of dynamic damping ratio was 60%; Then, the effects of moisture content (12%, 17%, 21%) and consolidated confining pressure (100 kPa, 200 kPa, 300 kPa) on the dynamic strength of 1% modified loess were studied, and the subsidence characteristics of the improved loess were also focused on, the results indicated that the dynamic strength of the improved loess decreased with the increase of moisture content and increase with the confining pressure, and the seismic characteristics increase with the increase of dynamic shear stress and the number of cycles.
