| dc.description | The seismic site response analysis of sand deposits requires an understanding of the dynamic properties of the soils involved. Most dynamic soil data available in the literature has been derived for sands which do not contain pumice. Consequently, the relevance of this data to the behaviour of pumice sands is unclear. An extensive experimental investigation of the dynamic response of a pumice sand was therefore undertaken. The liquefaction response obtained from cyclic triaxial tests, and the shear modulus variation with strain amplitude observed in bender element and dynamic torsion tests were examined. The cyclic triaxial test results indicated that the liquefaction response was similar to that observed for quartz sands. However, the low strain shear modulus of the pumice sand was found to be significantly less than that of quartz sands at similar relative densities, and the nonlinear stress-strain behaviour was markedly different from that of other sands, particularly in the mid strain range. | en-US |
