TRIAXIAL APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF THE THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF UNSATURATED SOILS

APPAREIL TRIAXIAL POUR L'ETUDE DU COMPORTEMENT THERMIQUE DE SOLS NON SATURES

The thermal consolidation of unsaturated soils in a thermo-hydro-mechanical framework is studied in a thermal triaxial apparatus described in the paper. The results of the first tests performed, under a given state of stress, on both silty and clayey soils, show some similarities between purely thermal consolidation and mechanical consolidation on saturated soils.
