Geotechnical monitoring and instrumentation play a key role to assess the safety and
performance of the geotechnical structures. Conventionally used electrical instruments …

Gassy sediments are an important cause of engineering disasters such as large-area
coastal submarine landslides, excessive tilting of marine foundations, and excessive …

Calcareous gravelly sand (CGS) is a highly compressible and easily breakable granular
geomaterial widely used to fill the island reef foundation. In this study, a series of confined …

Under the influence of temperature change, construction quality, and external force,
concrete structures are prone to generate cracks which poses a significant threaten to the …

Coral sand is the main filling material for the island–reef foundation. Under tidal actions, the
saturation (Sr) of coral sand layers varies with the specific depths in the reclaimed …

This study investigated the dynamic mechanical behavior of basalt fiber (BF) and carbon
nanotube (CNT) reinforced coral sand cement (CSC) mortars. Based on the Split Hopkinson …

Coral sand is one kind of the important building materials in coral reef engineering practice.
The use of cement as a stabilizing agent can significantly improve the mechanical properties …

A study on the interface monotonic shear behavior of calcareous sands reinforced with
geogrid was reported. Large-scale monotonic direct shear tests were carried out on …

Fine coral sand commonly distributes in coral sand artificial foundation due to the effect of
gravity sorting during hydraulic process and the particle breakage of coarse particle …

Clogging is common for tunnel boring machines, especially in clayey soil, and when it
happens, the cutter heads or even the entire tunnelling device can become completely …
