In the light of previous studies, this paper improves the traditional horizontal axial soil tensile tester, eliminating its defects. Then, the improved tester was applied to test the tensile strength of remolded and undisturbed loess. The tensile properties of the two types of loess were summed up based on the test results. For undisturbed loess, the tensile strength increased with dry density when the water content stayed the same, and decreased with water content when dry density remained the same. For remolded loess, the tensile strength first increased to the peak value and then gradually declined, with the growth in water content. In general, the tensile strength curve of undisturbed loess took the shape of a slope, while that of remolded loess showed the wavy pattern. The difference arises from the loss of bonding force and weakening of structuredness in the remolding process.
