testing measures and changing rules about the structural strength of loess are described respectively. According to the relationship of power function between structural strength of loess and water content
as well as the collapsibility coefficient and water content
a linearly fitting formula between structural strength and collapsibility coefficient is found out. Furthermore
the impacts of structural strength on the collapsibility coefficient of loess are analyzed. The results show that the value of structural strength and collapsibility coefficient will be smaller when the value of initial water content is bigger. But when the initial water content is same or near
the collapsibility of loess will diminish with the structural strength increasing.
