Abstract

Shirasu is a pyroclastic flow deposit commonly found in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan. In Kagoshima Prefecture, Shirasu covers more than half the land area and there are many structures and embankments on the Shirasu plateau. However the compression and shear characteristic of unsaturated Shirasu is not entirely clear, and there is a possibility of its use as a construction material. In this paper, the compression characteristic of unsaturated Shirasu is examined. The relationship between matric suction and water content was examined through capillary-rise tube experiment and Tempe cell test. The compression characteristic of unsaturated Shirasu at different matric suctions was examined through oedometer test.
