Coral Community on Muddy Sand

Nature, 1968
Heteropsammia michelinii, a free-living and free-moving scleractinian coral found in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, has a symbiotic association with a sipunculid worm, Aspidosiphon corallicola. The worm lives in a cavity on the under surface of the coral and it pulls the coral over the muddy surface of the sand.

The Undrained Shear Behavior of Clean Coral Silt and Coral Silt-Sand Mixtures

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2023
ABSTRACT Coral silt foundation is deposited from marine land reclamation. Different soil types, including coral sand, silt, and clay with different particle diameters, are distributed in different areas through sorting and deposition. As a new type of fine-grained coral silt, the coral silt is made up of more than 50 % of particles with ...

Strength and dilatancy of coral sand in the South China Sea

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021
To clarify the effects of compactness and stress level on the strength and deformation characteristics of coral sand in the reclaimed foundation of island reefs in the South China Sea, consolidated-drained triaxial shear tests were conducted on coral sand with four different relative densities under a constant confining pressure range.

Coral Reef Sand Data for Training SandE

This repository contains all the training data used to train the Sediment Analysis Neural-network Data-engine (SAND-e). SAND-e was created as part of the PhD thesis of G. William M. Harrison under the supervision of Ken Johnson and Willem Renema and the master’s thesis of Teigan Collins under the supervision of Ken Johnson and Nadia Santodomingo with ...

Synthesis of protodolomite from coral reef sand

Food Chemistry, 2006
Abstract Protodolomite (calcium carbonate, PD) is widely used in calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) nutritional supplements because it is rich in Ca (>20%) and Mg (>10%). Synthesis of PD usually involves the use of a NaCl solution with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ . In this study, we synthesized PD from coral reef sand (CRS) and magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ). First,

Acoustic properties of coral sands, Waikiki, Hawaii

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
An in situ experimental study of variations of compressional wave speed and attenuation with depth in natural coral sands has been made offshore of Oahu, Hawaii. In situ data were collected at a center frequency of 7.5 kHz. Compressional wave speed averages around 1620 m/s and attenuation (expressed as Qp−1, the reciprocal of the quality factor ...
