Abstract: To analyze the anti-erosion performance and influencing factors of cement improved loess (CIL), the influences of the compaction method, cement content, compaction coefficient, erosion times on the anti-erosion performance of CIL were studied. Furthermore, the influence of erosion on the strength deterioration of CIL was studied. The results show that compared with the quasi-static compaction method (QSCM), the anti-erosion performance of specimen compacted using the vertical vibration compaction method (VVTM) is better, and the relative erosion mass is reduced by at least 10%. When the cement content increases 1% (mass fraction) and the compaction coefficient increases 0.01, the anti-erosion performance increases 16% and 6.2%, respectively. The erosion times has a significant effect on the quality loss of CIL, and the cumulative erosion mass increases linearly with the increase of erosion times. The compressive strength of CIL decreases significantly due to the erosion, and the average deterioration degree of specimens compacted using VVTM is 79.5%, and that of specimens compacted using QSCM is 73.7%.
