    Some special geotechnical properties of pumice deposits

    New search for: Esposito, L.
    New search for: Guadagno, F. M.

    Abstract This paper describes the characteristics of pumice soils from the area of Mount Vesuvius and discusses sinking, watering and other geotechnical tests on pumice from a number of sites. Attention is drawn to the presence of both inter- and intra-particle voids within this material and appropriate modifications to the standard solid-water-air phase diagram are suggested to take account of this. The importance of understanding the structure of the pumice and its response to rainfall/ground water conditions is discussed in relation to both landslips and stabilisation works.
