Abstract

Abstract: The mechanical properties of the calcareous sand are different from those of quartz sand or land origin. The shear strength is an important index that is widely used in the engineering practice. The direct shear test is a common laboratory strength test method for calcareous soils. The TKADSS4 type direct shear test equipment was used for the testing of calcareous sand samples with the same dry density and different moisture contents. The influence of moisture content on the shear strength was investigated.

Key words: Calcareous Sands, Direct Shear, Shear Strength, Moisture Content
