The range of problems that geotechnical engineers must face is increasing in complexity
and scope. Often, complexity arises from the interaction between the soil and the …

The response of soil subjected to thermal cyclic loading plays an important role in certain
engineering applications, such as high-level nuclear waste disposal, heat storage systems …

This paper is an overview of the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour and properties of
natural soils and soft rocks, from soft clays to chalk. It is based on Critical State Soil …

Geotechnical design of various foundation solutions and evaluation of geohazards requires
a range of soil parameters, including monotonic and cyclic shear strengths as well as …

Failure conditions in soils at elevated temperatures appear to be strongly dependent on the
history of the application of stress and temperature. Four cases of such history leading to …

Fifty years after its development by Professor Šuklje, this Paper examines the applicability of
the isotache model to geotechnical engineering. Laboratory tests and well documented case …

A large database of 115 triaxial, direct simple shear, and cyclic tests on 19 clays and silts is
presented and analysed to develop an empirical framework for the prediction of the …

The effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure
interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To …

It is considered that the long term settlement of clay deposits, known as secondary
consolidation, is caused by clay viscosity. In this paper, the viscous property of clayey soils is …

The thermal effects on geomaterials, especially on clayey soils are getting increasing
concerns in many geotechnical applications. To study the effects of temperature on the …
