Abstract: With the development of the near shore engineering projects, the calcareous sand has been widely used as an important construction material. The strength properties of the calcareous sand is critical to the engineering design and construction. This paper presents the triaxial test results on the calcareous sand samples prepared at the same dry density but under different confining pressures. The shear strength parameters are obtained for the design and construction of marine facilities in the coral sand soils.

Key words: Calcareous Sand, Strength Properties, Triaxial Tests
