Degradation of geomaterials, that is, particle breakage, can be harmful to the full life-cycle
stability of practical engineering; for example, rockfill dam, energy-pile foundation, railway …

How the present-day northern Tibetan Plateau was involved in the plateau formation
process in context of the Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision has been disputed for decades …

This paper presents the results of a study on the evolution of particle shape in carbonate
sands that underwent different degrees of particle breakage. Carbonate sand specimens …

Calcareous sand is an important filling material in marine engineering. The accurate
interpretation of the calcareous sand's stress–dilatancy behavior under high-cycle loading …

The mechanical properties of calcareous sands are critical as potentially important material
sources for marine geotechnical constructions. Brittleness and large deformations created in …

In this study, the small-strain shear modulus of a calcareous sand was investigated by
conducting bender element tests on both horizontal and vertical planes. The effects of …

Calcareous sand is widely present in coastal areas around the world and is usually
considered as a weak and unstable material due to its high compressibility and low strength …

Overexploitation of natural resources like sand and stone aggregates for construction
purposes, and on the other hand, the generation of huge quantities of different industrial …

Grading and particle breakage have significant influence on mechanical properties of
crushing geomaterials. A series of large-scale triaxial compression tests have been carried …

The dynamic behaviors of calcareous sand were investigated under undrained conditions
using cyclic triaxial tests, and the results were compared with those of commercially …
