Abstract
This paper presents the results of a comprehensive experimental program to study the static and dynamic properties of calcareous sands from southwest Puerto Rico in an uncemented state (Cabo Rojo sand). For comparison purposes the paper presents experimental results from a comparison silica sand with a similar grain size distribution. The experimental program for both sands included: Index testing, XRD mineralogy, SEM imaging, direct shear tests, 1-D compression tests, Isotropic Consolidated Undrained (ICU) triaxials, and resonant column tests.
