Abstract: A series of experiments were performed to investigate the hydraulic and

Abstract: Ring shear tests were performed in this work to investigate the characteristics of shear band formation and particle breakage for calcareous sands sampled from the South China Sea. The tests focused on the formation of ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced calcareous sands manifest unique properties of increased shear strength and particle breakage. These features are of practical importance for some offshore engineering constructions because the strength ...

Abstract: Abstract In geotechnical engineering, the mechanical behavior of calcareous soils (CS) is significantly influenced by particle breakage and the resulting change in shape morphology. This study focuses on understanding the ...

Abstract: The consolidated drained triaxial shear tests have been performed in this work to investigate the shearing behavior of calcareous sands sampled from the South China Sea, with the focus on analyzing the influence of particle ...

Abstract: Coral sand is widely distributed in offshore oil and gas basins, and beneath the foundations of offshore wind turbines that are exposed to persistent cyclic loads, including wind, ocean waves, and seismic activity. Under ...

Abstract: It is commonly accepted that the macroresponse of soil depends significantly on the microscopic particle characteristic features, such as size, shape, and roughness. These parameters can be obtained readily by dynamic image ...
