THERMOPLASTICITY OF SATURATED CLAYS: EXPERIMENTAL CONSTITUTIVE STUDY

This is a discussion of some thermomechanical tests on clays for which feasibility studies for underground nuclear waste repositories in deep continental clays were conducted. Tests were conducted in the temperature range between 18 and 115 deg C. The test results were analyzed by applying the thermoplastic model presented in a companion paper. Study results show that the proposed model well predicts the clay behavior in such processes as thermoplastic consolidation, thermomechanical undrained failure due to heating, thermal ductilization of clay in triaxial compression, and cyclic undrained heating and cooling.
