Three groups of tests on remolded loess under complex stress path are conducted using the hollow cylinder apparatus of Zhejiang University.The investigation highlights the influences of deviatoric stress ratio and rotation of principal stress axes on the deformation behaviors of remolded loess.The experimental results show that the strength of remolded loess is different under different deviatoric stress ratio;The soil strength reaches a minimum whenη=0.133 and it peaks whenη=0.433.When the deviatoric stress ratio gradually increases from 0.133 to 0.433

the normalized strength initially increases

declines

and then increases and declines

again.The principal stress axes rotation has an effect on the strain increments of the remolded loess

and the effect becomes the greatest for the intermediate principal strain increment.The maximum and minimum principal strains symmetrically develop on theε-q coordinate plane
