ABSTRACT Mixed-sand-and-gravel beaches are a distinctive type of coarse-clastic beach. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and photographic records of previous excavations are used to investigate the stratigraphy and internal sedimentary structure of mixed-beach deposits at Aldeburgh in Suffolk, south-east England. The principles of radar ...
A total of 87 direct shear tests in a large direct shear-box apparatus have been used to investigate the strength and dilatancy of sand–gravel mixtures. This paper focuses on the differences in behaviour between a silica sand (yellow Leighton Buzzard sand) and sand–gravel mixtures obtained by adding fractions of two kinds of gravel to the sand. The purpose is to find a relation …
Gravel-sand mulch (GSM) and plastic film mulch (PFM) are important ways of farming in cold and arid regions without irrigation. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of studies of the system response to live weather conditions. To quantify the effects of GSM and PFM on soil moisture and temperature retention, in-situ monitoring experiments were ...
The gravel-sand transition is unusual in that the reduction in the median bed grain diameter (D 50) is more abrupt than typical fining rates found in river bed sediment (Sternberg, 1875; Sambrook-Smith and Ferguson, 1995).Coarse particle sizes (D 90; represented by the 90th percentile of the distribution) also rapidly fine across the gravel-sand transition while the fine …
Sand, gravel, and crushed stone are collectively referred to as construction aggregates. If calculated by weight, aggregates are the most extracted and used material by humans (OECD, 2019; Robinson Jr and Brown, 2002; Torres et al., 2021).In recent years, the total volume of aggregates used has reached 40–50 billion metric tons (Beiser, 2019; Peduzzi, …
The decline of gravel-pack permeability is related to gravel-sand radius ratio, production time and the viscosity of fluid. The pore-blocking results of five gravels and sands with diffent gravel ...
The small-strain shear modulus (G max) is an important parameter in soil dynamics, particularly in seismic ground response analysis and liquefaction potential assessment [1], [2].According to elastic theory, the G max can be determined from shear wave velocity (V s) measurements using G max = ρ V s 2, where ρ is the soil density. It has been confirmed that G …

The concrete used to construct shopping malls, offices, and apartment blocks, along with the asphalt we use to build roads connecting them, are largely just sand and gravel glued together.
Coastal erosion is a critical problem that affects several countries around the World that would increase concerning the anthropogenic sea-level rise. Gravel beaches have proved to be more stable facing coastal erosion. The mixture of sand and gravel has been used to replenish beaches as a soft mechanism that increases beach stability. Most of the Buenos Aires …
In 2014, the United Nations Environment Programme published a report titled "Sand, Rarer Than One Thinks," which concluded that the mining of sand and gravel "greatly exceeds natural renewal ...
Construction aggregates derived from primary resources either by crushing of sound rock masses (crushed stone aggregates) or from naturally occurring unbound clastic sediments (natural sand and gravel aggregates) make the most voluminous mineral raw material exploited by humans nowadays (Fookes 1991; Přikryl 2017).Extremely low per-unit cost of the …

Offshore sand and gravel extraction involves the abstraction of sediments from a bed which is always covered with seawater. This activity started in the early 20th century (in the mid-1920s, in the United Kingdom), but did not reach a significant scale until the 1960s and 1970s, when markets for marine sand and gravel expanded and dredging technology improved (Fig. 1).
