Volcanic rocks and soils show a peculiar mechanical behaviour at both laboratory and in-situ scale due to their typical structural characters. Volcanic rocks and soils contains keynote lectures and papers from the International Workshop held in Ischia (Italy), 24-25 September 2015. The book deals with recent developments and advancements, as well as case histories, in the geotechnical characterization and engineering applications related to volcanic formations. It covers a variety of themes, including: • Geotechnical characterization under both static and cyclic/dynamic loading conditions, with special regard to structural properties at different scales (microstructural features; field and laboratory characterization; construction materials); • Geotechnical aspects of natural hazards (slope stability; seismic risk); • Geotechnical problems of engineering structures (foundations; embankments; excavations and tunnels). Volcanic Rocks and Soils is of interest to scientists and practitioners in the fields of rock and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geology.

This book compiles information gained by an EU research network over six years of research on European volcanic soils. It gives comprehensive coverage of soils in volcanic regions within Europe, dealing with most aspects of modern day soil science. New methodology is introduced and the synthesis of the research casts a new light on soils with andic soil properties.

Rocks and soil—they’re always underfoot. They’re also in space, inside Earth, and in volcanoes. In this book, readers will discover how rocks, soil, and minerals are formed, and what they’re made of. Activities and questions expand on topics introduced in the text, and stimulate readers to think critically about rocks and soil. Readers will develop the skills to question and experiment scientifically, and the vocabulary to record and discuss their observations.

Ten soils formed from basic volcanic rocks were studied on a 450 km climosequence transect in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul States, Brazil, to learn how soil properties vary with climate and to provide a data for the developing Brazilian soil classification system. From east to west the altitude drops from 1250 m to 270m, the annual temperature increases from 14.1 C to 19.3 C, and the annual precipitation decreases from 2460 mm to 1850mm. The soils were in the Cambisol, Terra Bruna Estruturada (a new class), Brown Latosol, Terra Roxa Estruturada, and Dusky Red Latosol soil classes of the Brazilian soil classification and in the dystrochrept, Haplumbrept, Paleludult, Haplohumox and Haplorthox great groups of the U.S. Soil Taxonomy. As soil sites get warmer and drier, kaolinite and hamatite contents increase, halloysites and goethite contents decrease, the crystal size of kaolin minerals (kaolinite and 0.7 nm halloysite) increases, soil color changes from brown to dusky red, soil structure changes from well developed blocky to ultra fine granular (massivelike), and surface area and soil swelling decrease. The soil materials mainly had isotic plasmic fabric (isotropic) and had few or no argillans visible in thin section. Gibbsite and halloysite form immediately adjacent to each other in the weathered basaltic rocks. Maghemite occurred in 2.5 YR and redder soils. Upward in the solum organic carbon land goethite contents increase, hematite decreases, the soil color becomes yellower and crystal size of .......

Soil science is perhaps one of the oldest practical sciences, having been of concern to man probably from the time he progressed from a strictly preda tory life to one in which agriculture became important. In view of the anti quity of concern with the subject, it is perhaps surprising that it can be approached from a fresh viewpoint, as is done in this book. Because soil science is an applied science, it is not surprising that the approach is usually descriptive, rather than imaginative. For agriculturalists and other land users, perhaps the most important part of soil science is the description of soils and the capacities of such soils to maintain crops, and this is reflected by the fact that soil science is usually treated ima highly descriptive manner, with soil classification being one of the main efforts. The treatment of the subject from a geological point of view, with considerable emphasis on the evolution of soils and the reasons governing their composition and form, makes this a highly readable book. Books on soil science are timely, with present-day concern with such major problems as the pollution of our environment and the possibility of overreaching our capacity for producing food for an expanding population.
