Shear characteristics of calcareous gravelly soil

Abstract Because of its angularity, crushability, and high void ratio, calcareous gravelly soil has peculiar geotechnical properties. A series of large-scale direct laboratory shear tests was conducted on calcareous gravelly soil taken from coral reefs in the South China Sea. This study aimed to investigate the shear characteristics of calcareous gravelly soil under conditions of varying gradation, water content, density, and mineral composition. The experimental results revealed the extremely different mechanical properties of calcareous gravelly soil compared to common non-cohesive soil: calcareous gravelly soil has greater apparent cohesion, larger friction angle, and lower softening value than quartz sand. The friction angle increases with dry density, while the apparent cohesion increases with the median particle size (D 50) of the soil. After shear failure, the apparent cohesion decreases significantly from the peak value, but friction angle decreased slightly. Grouting can be employed to reinforce foundations and enhance slopes consisting of calcareous gravelly soil at the early stage of shear failure. This study intends to provide reference information for engineering constructions on coral reefs and report new findings on coarse-grained soil.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
