Engineering geology of the tropical volcanic soils of La Laguna, Tenerife
TLDR
In this article, the influence of mineralogy and fabric on the strength and deformation properties of La Laguna volcanic soils has been analyzed and a review has been made of the different hypotheses which attempt to explain the abnormal properties of these soils.About:

Characterisation of a volcanic residual soil and its implications for large landslide phenomena : application to Tenerife, Canary Islands
TL;DR: In this paper, a typical residual soil sample from the lateral scarp of the La Orotava amphitheatre on Tenerife was analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy and a particular bonding was detected by geotechnical tests.

The decrease in the shear strength of volcanic materials with argillic hydrothermal alteration, insights from the summit region of Teide stratovolcano, Tenerife
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and geotechnically characterise weak volcanic materials and estimate the reduction in shear strength caused by argillic hydrothermal alteration in Teide stratovolcano.

Sensitivity to remoulding of some volcanic ash soils in new zealand
TL;DR: Sensitivity to remoulding of some volcanic ash materials in New Zealand has been investigated in this paper, where the subsoils were derived from airfall andesitic ashes containing a high proportion of allophane or from hydrothermally altered ashes containing mainly halloysite.

Some basic engineering properties of halloysite and allophane clays in Java, Indonesia
TL;DR: The properties of two soil groups widely found in Java and Sumatra are studied in this article, which are known pedologically as latosols and andosols, and are formed under tropical weathering conditions from volcanic parent material.

Shear strength properties of halloysite and allophane clays in Java, Indonesia
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of the shear strength properties of halloysite and allophane clays of Java, Indonesia, data were presented which show high values of c′ and o′ for both undisturbed and compacted clays.

Classification tests on African red clays and Keuper Marl
TL;DR: In this article, the results of soil classification tests carried out on African red clay soils from Kenya and soils from the Keuper Marl formation in England are described. But the manner in which the particles are cemented together is different for the two groups of soils and this is an additional reason for anomalous particle size distribution results being obtained for these soils.
