Table 4

Influence of melting on mechanical properties of reinforced loess.

Fibre reinforcement conditions	Sample moisture content	Freezing temperature	Freezing time	Melting temperature	Melting time	Shear method
Unreinforced; Reinforced	17.8%; 22%; Saturated	−10°C; −5°C; 0°C	48 h	5°C	24 h	Unconsolidated and undrained shear
