Separation of Pumice from Soil Mixtures
Presented by Mark Springer, Senior Lecturer, University of Canterbury Recipient of the NZGS JW Ridley Geomechanics Paper Award Pumice-rich deposits are found in a number of locations around the world, and in particular across large areas of the North Island of New Zealand. Pumice grains are commonly described as being lightweight, highly crushable, and vesicular in nature. These characteristics give rise to a unique set of behaviours under loading, and pumice-rich soils are highly problematic in terms of in…

20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering 2022
The theme of ICSMGE 2022 is “A Geotechnical Discovery Down Under – Geotechnical Diversity Awaits You”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading theoretical developments. ICSMGE 2022 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on the geotechnical problems facing our world. Our Conference program and technical sessions reflect this emphasis on applications, and are designed to trigger collaboration, innovation and discovery from a diverse…
