Abstract

When the quite different physical properties of coral sand from the land sand is found, many researcher have devoted themselves to investigating its mechanical properties. It is generally believed that there are many influence factors including content of carbonate, relative density, stress history, cement degree, particle breakage of the shear strength of the coral sand. This paper reviewed the previous shear results of coral sand summarized some common properties of coral sand in different locations. The drained and undrained triaxial shear test results were also shown to help understand the special shear properties of the coral sand.
