The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper describes a laboratory investigation into the effects of adding silica sand and/or cement on the behaviour of an artificial carbonate soil under shear. It demonstrates how both silica sand and cement reduce crushing of carbonate particles during shear. It also demonstrates how the addition of a combination of silica and cement produces the most effective improvement in terms of strength, stiffness and crushing.
