Calcareous soil is widely distributed throughout tropical areas. Due to its unique
sedimentary environment and soil behaviors, severe engineering problems and disasters …

The influence of complex cyclic loadings associated with earthquakes on the shear modulus
and damping properties of saturated coral sands has yet to be established. This paper …

Ground surface explosion experiments were conducted on a double-box utility tunnel buried
in calcareous sand to study the structural dynamic responses and damage characteristics …

Surface explosion tests were conducted on calcareous sands to study the ground shock
propagation in this medium. In the tests, ground shock at scaled distances between 0.33 …

On 12 January 2010, the M7. 0 Haiti earthquake caused infrastructure damage induced by
extensive soil liquefaction and foundation failure in the Port-au-Prince International Seaport …

With the development of ocean engineering, the seismic response of saturated coral sand
foundations has gained attention. Given the wide gradation characteristics of the coral sand …

The dynamic behaviors of calcareous sand were investigated under undrained conditions
using cyclic triaxial tests, and the results were compared with those of commercially …

Carbonate soils are located in temperate and tropical regions of the earth. This kind of soil
has special mechanical properties compared with siliceous sand due to special sedimentary …

This study examines the effect of the initial fabric on the coefficient of the lateral earth
pressure at rest K0, the undrained monotonic loading strength and the liquefaction …

The physical and engineering mechanical behaviors between coral sand and terrigenous
sandy soils are considerably different. To study these behaviours, a series of undrained …
