Abstract: Experimental results obtained from thermomechanical tests on three clays are analyzed in light of the constitutive equations of soil thermoplasticity presented in a companion paper. Heating and cooling drained tests at ...

Abstract: Plastic behavior of soils and shales due to heating and loading under constant elevated temperature is discussed in terms of a thermoplastic version of the critical state model. Rules for dependence of the yield surface ...

Abstract: The in situ stiffness and apparent maximum preconsolidation stress of many soils and sediments appear to be higher than in the laboratory tests. We seek to verify experimentally whether this also holds for deep marine ...
