Abstract

Soils containing pumice are frequently encountered on engineering projects in the North Island of New Zealand. The presence of pumice is known to result in different material behaviours, including the resistance to cyclic loading. In this paper, results of triaxial testing on undisturbed specimens of dense, pumice-rich soils are presented, and examined to identify the apparent effects that differing pumice content has on the observed behaviours. It is shown that significant reductions in the cyclic resistance were observed in these soils compared with expectations for hard-grained materials, but that this effect appears to be fully developed with limited amounts of pumice in the soil. It is further shown that the undrained strength is significantly reduced by increasing amounts of pumice and that typical predictions of post-cyclic reconsolidation strains are unconservative in pumice bearing materials.
