Calcareous sand is the only building material in the reclaimed foundation of island-reefs in
the South China Sea, and calcareous sand in reclaimed foundation is predominantly …

Particle size and confining pressure are important factors that influence the shear
characteristics of coral sand. In this study, multiple consolidated-drained triaxial shear tests …

This paper reports the development of a particle breakage model within a finite-element (FE)
framework based on the modified Mohr–Coulomb model (MMC). A modified form of the …

An elastic–plastic constitutive model considering particle breakage for simulation of
crushable granular soils behavior is proposed. In the model, elastic strain rates are derived …

The influence of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads inclusion on the shear stiffness of a
quartz-based material and a calcareous-based material has been examined by performing a …

In this article, the dilatancy of calcareous soil is studied systematically based on triaxial
consolidation drainage shear tests, and the difference in dilatancy between calcareous soil …

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

Calcareous gravelly sand (CGS) is the primary building material used in the foundation
filling of island-reefs in the South China Sea. In this study, multiple consolidation-drained …

An experimental investigation was carried out on the two originally different calcareous
sands to obtain the effect of particle size distribution on the shear responses of granular soils …

Calcareous sand, a special type of sand commonly used for the construction of coastal
engineering in tropical coasts, is usually required to be strengthened due to its poor …
