Abstract: With the rapid development of China's urbanization, the embankment reclamation has become an effective method to solve the bottleneck of construction land shortage, and a series of geotechnical engineering problems have arisen in these projects. Based on the existing engineering experience and literatures, the main considerations of reclamation projects are analyzed in loess areas. Considering the characteristics of loess, the precautions and design methods of foundation treatment, earth fill, slope protection and water environment control are preliminarily explained and discussed so as to provide reference for the design and research of similar projects in loess areas.
