Engineers have limited control over the process of soil formation, which can pose challenges when it comes to constructing structures such as dams, pavements, rail tracks, and foundations. To address this issue, a study was conducted to examine the mechanical properties of Hormoz Carbonate Sand and Firoozkooh Quartz Sand No 161. The goal was to predict the settlement, particle breakage, and shear strength of these sands. Tall oedometer and direct shear tests were conducted in a drained condition and the samples were prepared with the dry pluviation method in two different relative densities (30% as loose and 80% as dense) and consolidated under various confining pressures. The results revealed that in dense specimens, the particle breakage index increased as the porosity decreased. In the tall oedometer tests, it was observed that the vertical applied stress decreased with increasing height of the soil sample. Additionally, particle breakage decreased with depth in the samples, corresponding to the decreasing vertical applied stress. Furthermore, direct shear tests were performed on soil samples of different heights (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 cm) using a direct shear apparatus. It was found that in the lower sample heights (0.5, 1, 1.5 cm), a greater amount of breakage occurred due to a higher percentage of soil volume placed in the shear zone. The results also indicated that increasing the shearing rate led to a reduction in the particle breakage index.
