Abstract  In order to solve the problems of the settlement and stability of high-filled slopes,three-dimensional shear tests were carried out to investigate the behavior of unsaturated soil of different dry densities under controlled suction from Yan?an new district. The variations of the deformation and strength of the remolded loess soils were studied. The test results show that the dry density and matric suction influence remarkably the damage form and characteristics of the deformation and strength. The stress-strain relation varies from the strain hardening to the ideal elasto-plastic then to the strain softening as the increasing of dry density. The greater the dry density and suction,the more obvious the dilation and the higher the strength. The cohesion,the friction angle of the suction and the internal friction angle increased with the increasing of the dry density. The friction angle of unsaturated loess soil changes little with the matric suction variation,but the cohesion increases  linearly with the increasing of matric suction. The initial tangential modulus and the volumetric deformation modulus increased with the increasing of the dry density and suction. An expression for strength and a nonlinear model considering the impact of dry density and suction and values of relevant parameters of the soil are proposed for the predictions of the parameters of the strength and deformation of remolded loess soils under different densities and different matric suctions.
