The Engineering Behaviour of Cemented Marine Carbonate Soils
Abstract
Interest in the behaviour of carbonate soils has increased in recent years owing to the difficulties which have arisen with the foundations of offshore structures located on these sediments ( McClelland 1988 ). Carbonate sediments are widely distributed on the continental shelves in temperate and tropical areas of the world and exist in many regions where there arc substantial petrochemical reserves (e.g., the Arabian Gulf and around the coasts of Australia and India).
