Numerous offshore transportation infrastructures built with delicate calcareous sand (CS)
experience intricate seepage conditions caused by tidal fluctuations. Traffic loads can cause …

The strength and deformation behaviors of granular soil depend on the material state, ie,
density and pressure. To interpret such state-dependent behavior, different state indices …

Due to the unique properties of calcareous sand in reclamation projects, soil foundations
consisting of calcareous sand-filled land are often exposed to reversible tidal waves. This …

The micro-to macro-scale bearing capacity characteristics of unsaturated fine granular soil
have remained unclear. This study is the first to investigate the capillary suction effect on the …

The effect of an anisotropic stress state on the monotonic behavior of calcareous sand has
been rarely investigated, although calcareous sands in the field mainly experience …

Cement-bonded calcareous sand (C-BCS) can effectively enhance the strength of
calcareous sand, which is widely in infrastructure construction on islands in the South China …

Geotechnical problem analyses often involve three-dimensional stress conditions. In this
paper, a series of drained true triaxial tests were conducted under stress-controlled …

To coordinate the conflict between economic development and climate change caused by
energy consumption, countries worldwide are actively developing renewable energy …

Calcareous sand is a special marine soil rich in calcium carbonate minerals, characterized
by brittle particles. It is, therefore, widely used as a filling material in the construction of …

Coral sand, as a kind of filling material, is widely used in the construction of artificial reefs or
roadbeds in coastal areas. With the widespread use of the artificial grounding freezing …
