    Abstract
    Shallow-water sediments found near the shorelines of Kaneohe and Kailua bays on the island of Oahu, an area that has seen continuous development over the last 40 years, were tested to determine the influence of terrigenous input on the geotechnical behavior of marine calcareous sediments of biogenic origin. Consolidation and drained triaxial tests indicate that mixed sediments have higher compressibilities and lower strengths compared to high-carbonate sediments. Differences in gradation among high-carbonate sediments do not seem to have a large effect on consolidation and triaxial behavior. Due to contrasting mineralogies between the land-derived volcanic soils and the calcareous sediment of marine origin, carbonate content is a useful property that serves as an index to stress-strain and strength behavior
