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

In order to better understand the particle breakage mechanics and characterization methods
of calcareous sand, the particle breakage characteristics of calcareous sand in one …

The paper deals with an analysis of the shear strength behaviour of coarse-grained
materials using large-sized direct shear apparatus. The shear strength curve of compacted …

This paper presents the results of an experimental research carried out in laboratory aimed
at establishing a relationship between cyclic liquefaction resistance (CRR field) and …

Salt marshes are globally distributed, vegetated intertidal wetlands and marsh edge erosion
is common on many shores. To understand how and why marsh edge erosion occurs, the …

The low side friction of piles in coral sand results in the low bearing capacity of foundations.
In this paper, expansive concrete pile is utilized to improve the bearing capacity of pile …

For the island and reef project formed by filling calcareous sand, the problems of wide
particle size distribution (PSD) and complex mechanical properties have to be faced …

In this work, the physical and mechanical properties of Konarak carbonate sand located in
