Experimental Study on the Impact of Water Content on the Strength Parameters of Coral Gravelly Sand

The effect of capillary water caused by heavy rainfall and groundwater level fluctuations can induce the erosion and collapse of island reef coral sand foundations. Here, the effects of water content (<i>ω</i>) on the shear strength parameters of coral gravelly sand are analyzed at the m...
