Undisturbed Sampling of Pumiceous Deposits in New Zealand
Soils containing pumiceous materials are frequently encountered on projects of engineering significance on the central part of the North Island of New Zealand. These pumiceous deposits are considered problematic due to their lightweight and crushable nature, which makes the use of existing liquefaction evaluation procedures questionable. In this paper, the authors describe attempts to retrieve undisturbed soil specimens from a site with pumiceous soils using a variety of sampling techniques. The behaviour of these soils in the laboratory is briefly discussed.
