Compression responses and particle breakage of calcareous granular material in reclaimed islands

Jianhua Shen et al.

Summary: In this study, confined compression tests were conducted on Calcareous gravelly sand (CGS) to quantitatively assess particle breakage. The power function model was found to be the most suitable to describe the stress-strain relationship of CGS under confined compression. The compression behaviors of CGS were mainly determined by particle breakage, and the relative breakage ratio decreased with increasing relative density (Dr) but first increased and then decreased with increasing nonuniform coefficient (Cu). The particle breakage mechanism of CGS during confined compression was revealed based on the changes in the mass fraction of different particle groups before and after testing.

Influence of the particle morphology and internal porosity characteristics of coral sand in the South China Sea on its limit void ratio

Chenghao Ma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of particle morphology and internal pores on the limit void ratio of coral sand based on quantitative evaluation. Comparison tests reveal the impact of mineral composition on the limit void ratio of different aggregates. The findings indicate that particle roundness, internal porosity, and shape significantly affect the limit void ratio of coral sand.

Fractal dimension, particle shape, and particle breakage analysis for calcareous sand

Xue Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the fractal dimension, particle shape, and particle breakage of calcareous sand under multi-level ending pressure. The compression behavior of calcareous sand is similar to that of silt soil, with significant particle breakage occurring under high-stress levels. The shape indexes, such as sphericity, aspect ratio, convexity, and overall regularity, increase with increasing axial stress or decreasing average grain size. The surface and mass fractal dimensions of the tested specimens range from 1.12 to 1.93 and from 2.14 to 2.92, respectively. The fractal dimensions and relative breakage ratio increase logarithmically with increasing axial stress. Additionally, an increase in average grain size leads to an increase in the relative breakage ratio and a decrease in fractal dimension. There is a linear relationship between surface or mass fractal dimension and relative breakage ratio.

X-ray Micro CT Based Characterization of Pore-Throat Network for Marine Carbonates from South China Sea

Haifeng Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the pore-throat structure of marine biogenic carbonate samples from the South China Sea compared to terrigenous sedimentary sandstone using X-ray micro-CT scanning. The results show that carbonate samples have higher and more heterogeneous porosity, with over 85% of pores classified as mesopores. The average volume of the throat in carbonate is approximately one order of magnitude smaller than the average pore volume, and the distribution of throat radius differs significantly among the studied carbonate samples.

Effects of particle shape on dynamic mechanical behaviours of coral sand under one-dimensional compression

Tingyan Wang et al.

Summary: Coral sand is characterized by high porosity, compressibility, and crushability due to its irregular particle shape and pore structure. The shape of coral particles affects the macro-scale performances of coral sand, with bulkier particles exhibiting higher crushing strength and lower compressibility. Dynamic compression tests show that coral sand has high small-strain stiffness, notable strain hardening, and high compressibility at high strain rates. The particle shape also affects the interparticle friction and interlocking, leading to changes in void ratio. Coral particles tend to become more spherical and smoother under dynamic tests, with increased degrees of sphericity and convexity.

Microfabric evolution of coral sand foundations during seismic liquefaction using 3D images

Qi Wu et al.

Summary: Industrial micro X-ray computed tomography (mu CT) was used to study the evolution of particle-pore structure in coral sand during earthquakes. The results showed a positive correlation between the coordination number of coral sand and the excess pore pressure ratio. After earthquakes, the uniformity of pore diameter decreased and the reduction degree in coral sand was smaller compared to Fujian sand.

DEM modelling of mini-triaxial test based on one-to-one mapping of sand particles

Mengmeng Wu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a discrete-element method simulation of mini-triaxial tests on sand with realistically shaped grains, comparing the results with physical experiments at multiple length scales. Image-processing techniques were utilized to analyze raw data from the tests, and a one-to-one discrete-element model was constructed to represent realistic particle morphology. Attention was given to particle scale properties and their influences on the mechanical response of the model, demonstrating that the proposed approach is effective in reproducing behaviors observed in physical experiments.

Effect of particle size on the failure behavior of cemented coral sand under impact loading

Dongsheng Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of particle size distribution of coral sands on the failure behavior of cemented coral sand specimens through static and impact loading tests. The results show that an increase in uniformity coefficient leads to higher compression strength and impact resistance, with specimens having a higher uniformity coefficient exhibiting smaller failure angles. Using a three-dimensional discrete element model, it was found that contact force distribution and absorbed energy can be linearly influenced by the particle size distributions, with particles of lower shape factor resulting in higher impact resistance. An optimum particle size distribution can be designed to meet impact loading requirements.
