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 ...
