Particles of these soils are mainly residual or debris of sea animals or plants with large amount of calcium carbonate. They also may be chemical sedimentation of calcium carbonate over other soil particles in specific region of seas and oceans. The most important characteristic of these soils is the crushability of their aggregates under loading which is mainly due their shape and also small voids inside of them. Crushability and subsequent volume changes in carbonate soils have caused many engineering problems in some geotechnical structures such as ...../files/site1/files/0Extended_Abstract5.pdf }, URL = {http://jeg.khu.ac.ir/article-1-2533-en.html}, eprint = {http://jeg.khu.ac.ir/article-1-2533-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Engineering Geology}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.jeg.11.4.405}, year = {2018} }
