Abstract: The engineering geological characteristics of coral sediments of Chenhang Island are analyzed from the geological tectonic structure and subsurface strata characteristics of coral reefs in South China Sea. The bearing capacity and the foundation recommendations in these calcareous are also introduced based on the engineering evaluations results of these sites.

Key words: Tectonic Structure, Coralreef Limestone, Engineering Geology, Bearing Capacity of Calcareous Soils
