The loess in north Afghanistan behaves very hard in dry season. In rainy season, loess becomes saturated and in consequence relatively soft. Under external loads, even under the gravity load the loess subsoil wetted throughout presents very large collapse settlements, which damage the buildings upon the subsoil. To investigate the physical and mechanical properties of the loess in north Afghanistan and furthermore to avoid the damages to buildings due to the collapse settlements, undisturbed loess samples in different depths in north Afghanistan were obtained for laboratory investigations. The aim of the study is to develop a new design method which enables the estimation of prospective settlement of a collapse prone loess soil.
