- The TGV High Speed rail cuts into loessic soils in Northern France. Delage et al. 2006 referred to 43 sinkhole incidents along 50km where rail was immediately built on loess. In the UK, the first phase of the HS2 is a London to Birmingham line and will cut into loess across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. This paper presents the first and only PTD model which enables an accurate measure of small strain stiffness and its degradation with cyclic loading. Model offers a suite of sequencing, cut and fill recommendations to prevent ground collapse, for the UK loess but also loess, globally.
