%X Natural clays are generally structural clays, and reconstituted soil samples also have some structural characteristics due to different sample preparation processes. Structural reconstituted soil samples are usually used in laboratory studies, and the sample preparation conditions have great influences on samples’ structural characteristics. Two kinds of reconstituted soil samples (with the same size, soil type, dry density, and moisture content, yet with different saturation methods) were prepared and the structural characteristics were analyzed by uniaxial compression and uniaxial loading-unloading compression tests. It was found that vacuum suction saturation  could weaken the structures and uniformities of reconstituted soil samples, and the soil samples without vacuum suction saturation  had very good initial uniformity and typical structural characteristics.
