Quantitative characterization of microstructure and research on spatial variation characteristics of loess of different strata in Luochuan, Shaanxi, China

by Yupeng Chang, Shaoqing Yuan

The complete sequence of loess strata in Luochuan has become a typical section in loess strata, and is the main focus of research for many scholars studying loess. We were based on the theory of aeolian loess and established a set of quantitative index parameters for loess microstructure through our previous research, such as equivalent diameter, sphericity, morphology ratio, orientation angle Phi, orientation angle Theta, pore Eq-Radius, throat Eq-Radius and throat channelLength.
