Abstract: The empirical relationship between the collapse index and the index properties as well as the characteristics of the collapsible loess soils from, Gansu are presented in this paper. The geological conditions of the collapsible loess soil underneath the site are studied. Both conventional geotechnical laboratory tests and the collapse potential tests are performed. Based on the analysis of 1,700 disturbed and undisturbed soil samples collected form an electricity power generation plant, the properties of the collapsible soils are statistically analyzed. 

Key words: Collapsible Loess, Collapse Index, Influencing Factors
