Abstract: The difference of sample preparation methods will directly lead to the difference of the structure of the sample, and the mechanical response characteristics under external load will be different. Based on the conventional tests such as particle analysis, specific gravity, critical moisture content, and consolidation test of undisturbed loess from Xi’an, this paper focuses on the static triaxial consolidated drained shear and consolidated undrained shear tests on undisturbed and remolded loess. The results show that: (1) the structure has an obvious influence on the stress-strain relationship of the sample, the stress-strain curve of the undisturbed sample is a strain softening curve, and the stress-strain curve of the remolded sample is a weak strain hardening curve; (2) under the same loading conditions, the triaxial shear strength of the undisturbed soil is significantly higher than that of the remolded soil; (3) the change rule of the consolidation ratio of undisturbed and remolded samples is basically the same, but the final consolidation ratio of remolded soil is greater than that of undisturbed soil.
