... of Campeche and Tabasco Coastline are developed. This was achieved using a database of 156 resonant column tests and 468 strain-controlled cyclic direct simple shear tests performed in clays with 10 % ≤ CaCO 3 ≤90 %. The effects of carbonate content (CaCO 3 ), mean effective confining pressure ( σ...

... strain-controlled cyclic direct simple shear test that provide data to define the normalized shear modulus, G/G max , and material damping ratio, D, versus cyclic shear strain. The range of cyclic shear strains of the database is from 0.0001% to 1%, and the range of carbonate content (Ca 2 CO 3 ) from 10...

... ABSTRACT Natural calcareous clays from off the coasts of Great Britain and Africa were subjected to strength, compression, and soil classification .tests to examine the effect of carbonate content on engineering behavior. Carbonate contents ranged from 10 to 90 percent. In general, specimens...
