Abstract: This paper discusses the laboratory test methods of the coefficient of at rest earth pressure. The feasibility of at rest earth pressure test on the saturation treated collapsible loess is analyzed. The paper also summarizes the testing curves and the static at rest earth pressure coefficient can be obtained from the linear curve fitting method.

Key words: Collapsible Loess, Static at Rest Earth Pressures, Structural Strength of Soils
