Abstract

The collapsibility of Pleistocene loess-palaeosols and cryogenic levels in Volhynia and Podolia.A b s t r a c t. The article presents the characteristics of collapse levels of stratigraphic loesses in Volhynia and Podolia. The authors examined physical and mechanical properties of loess-palaeosols of upper, middle and lower Pleistocene. Cryogenic processes and their effects on the collapsibility of loesses are discussed.
