ABSTRACT The threshold of motion of bioclastic carbonate sediments is fundamental to understanding sediment dynamics in coral reef systems, while there are currently few studies on its prediction. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted on five sediment beds composed of coral skeletal grains coarser than 2 mm, subjected to steady ...

Sand Liquefaction Through Volume Decrease Potential
ABSTRACT Cyclic triaxial shear tests were performed on granular materials with a variety of grain sizes and uniformity coefficients to determine the effect of grain composition on the liquefaction potential of cohesionless soils. In place of the conventional measure of relative-density as a density index the difference between the current and minimum

Model Prediction of Static Liquefaction: Influence of the Initial State on Potential Instabilities [PDF]
This paper examines the influence of the initial state of sands on the potential for undrained instability. The main goal is to illustrate how advanced constitutive modeling of sand behavior can be used to evaluate the susceptibility for static ...
