Experience of Vibrocompaction in Calcareous Sand of UAE

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2006
The study is concerned with the influence of various factors on vibro compaction in calcareous soils, This include effect of carbonate content, and influence of pore water pressures in sand, settlements during vibrocompaction, vibroaccelerations during sand column installation compared to earthquake accelerations and finally the liquefaction design ...

Quantifying the Morphology of Calcareous Sands by Dynamic Image Analysis

International Journal of Geomechanics, 2020
AbstractIt is commonly accepted that the macroresponse of soil depends significantly on the microscopic particle characteristic features, such as size, shape, and roughness.

Crushing Of Calcareous Sands During Shear

Offshore Technology Conference, 1979
ABSTRACT Calcareous sands often consist of skeletal remains of marine organisms. Intraparticle voids exist in such sands. These tend to crush more readily under stress than terrigeneous sands. This paper presents laboratory triaxial test data for low and elevated cell pressures up to 64 kgfcm2 for four calcareous ...

Dam on quaternary limestone and calcareous sand formation

Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1981
Okukubi Dam, planned for construction at the midportion of Okinawa Island, is the first concrete gravity dam to be built on the Quaternary limestone and calcareous sand formation in Japan. Principal characteristics of the dam are as given below:

Cone penetration resistance of calcareous sand

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2006
Calcareous sands form the foundation soils/structural fill for most of the engineering works in Kuwait, the Arabian Gulf countries and also act as structural fill. In situ calcareous sands are stronger than uncemented sand but lose much of their strength when re-worked or on wetting.

Tests on Model Jacked Piles in Calcareous Sand

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1996
Abstract This paper presents the results of a series of displacement-controlled cyclic axial loading tests of model jacked piles in dry calcareous sand. The tests were conducted using a large test facility comprising a test chamber 1.0 m in internal diameter and 1.55 m in height.

Liquefaction resistance of bio-cemented calcareous sand

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2018
Abstract Coral reefs and other calcareous deposits may experience various types of significant dynamic loading, such as those from waves and earthquakes. When submerged and subjected to earthquake loading, the potential for liquefaction of calcareous deposits may cause a loss of human life and property; however, few studies have evaluated the ...

Monotonic Lateral Loading of Piles in Calcareous Sand

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2001
This paper describes the results of a centrifuge modeling study of the response of piles embedded in calcareous sand under monotonic lateral loading. A number of features have been explored, including method of installation, rate of loading, and pile head restraint.

End Bearing Capacity of Piles in Calcareous Sands

Offshore Technology Conference, 1990
ABSTRACT In this study, laboratory tests simulating the end-bearing of piles founded in silica sand and two calcareous sands at different densities were conducted. Bearing capacities are compared with field test values and theoretical cavity expansion pressures.
