202031 · Abstract. In situ, three-dimensional (3D) characterizations of particle breakage in porous carbonate sands are presented, for the first time, with synchrotron-based micro computed tomography. Evolution of grain-scale characteristics are identified and quantified via elaborate image processing and topology analyses.

According to the results, the undrained shear strength of carbonate sand diminished with the addition of silt percentage up to 20%, and increased dramatically at 30% silt content.

Specifically, X-ray μCT is applied to extract the information on grain morphology and intra-particle pores of …

The mechanical behaviour of a typical biogenic carbonate sand was investigated using triaxial testing at standard and also at high pressures up to 8 MPa. The test results show that despite the particle breakage which is characteristic of these soils, their behaviour is still qualitatively …

A better understanding of the behavior of this material is, thus, critical for more sustainable approaches for the design of a number of offshore structures and submarine pipelines. In particular, understanding the physical …

These two important features of carbonate sands result in a loose fabric with a higher pore ratio than that of quartz sands.
