The high-temperature climate, dynamic stress loading and soil particle dimension have non-
negligible influence on the interface interaction between marine coral sand and polymer …

The micro-mechanism of mooing depth effect on the interactions between suction piles and
granular soil remains unclear. This study investigates suction pile-soil interaction behaviour …

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 …

Although particle corner breakage has been proved to be the primary mode of particle
breakage for coral sand, current studies of pile penetration have continued to present the …

The effect of breakable particle corners is often overlooked in research on pile–soil
interaction, which hinders the understanding of the uplift pile behaviors in calcareous sand …

This study experimentally documented the thresholds of critical motion for tropical shallow
marine carbonate sediments by conducting a total of 225 laboratory experiments that …

The micro-mechanism of interaction between the suction pile and granular soil under the
inclined pulling load of mooring lines remains unclear. This study investigated suction pile …

Coral sand is the main geomaterial on tropical reefs and its constituent particles are featured
with complex shapes and abundant intraparticle voids. This work presents a discrete …

Laboratory model tests were conducted on artificially structured clays using self-developed
equipment to better understand the penetration mechanism of jacked piles in structured …
