Resumen:
The paper explores the capability of the advanced Pastor-Zienkiewiczconstitutive model to accurate simulate the deformability, the shear strength and thestatic liquefaction of an air-fall volcanic (pyroclastic) soil, which was involved incatastrophic landslides of the flow type. The calibration and validation of twodistinct versions of the PZ constitutive model is done for both undisturbed (loose)and remoulded (dense) saturated specimens. Either drained or undrained triaxialtests are properly reproduced through the model. The potentialities deriving fromthe use of an advanced constitutive model are pointed out.
