Abstract: The collapsible loess soil deposits underneath the Phase I Underground Utility Project of Lanzhou New District. In order to verify the effectiveness of the water injection method for the wetting collapse potential reduction, 9 different trial test zones were established. The impact of the water injection spacing, duration of the water injection, as well as the amount of water injected are evaluated and the settlement at the ground surface are correlated.

Key words: Collapsible Loess Soils, Water Injection Tests, Duration of Water Injection, Amount of Water Injected, Settlement
