The application of static cone penetration curves in the evaluation of loess collapsibility proposes an evaluation method based on static cone penetration technology to solve the collapsibility problem in loess areas. Studies have shown that static cone penetration curves can effectively reflect the physical properties of loess, and are particularly significant for the identification and evaluation of collapsible loess. Through experimental data and on-site tests, the relationship between static cone penetration curves and collapsible loess is analyzed, and a set of systematic evaluation criteria is proposed. This research not only provides a new technical means for the evaluation of loess collapsibility, but also offers important references for the analysis of soil stability in loess areas during engineering construction.
