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 …

The design and development of thermal insulation materials is very important for the
treatment of offshore oil pipelines. Understanding thermal energy transport in thermal …

Temperature significantly affects the mechanical properties of geomaterials, particularly the
creep behavior of soft clayey soils. Thus, an appropriate constitutive model to describe the …

Because the spatial distribution of energy is restricted, many energies geotechnics would
build on marine sediments and the resulting thermal consolidation would pose an inevitable …

Abstract The consolidation of Hong Kong marine deposits (HKMDs), a typical soft clayey soil
in Hong Kong, is a serious concern in engineering practices, such as coastal embankment …

This study presents a thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) model of unsaturated soils using
isogeometric analysis (IGA). The framework employs Bézier extraction to connect IGA to the …

The engineering application of cylindrical heat source usually influences the characteristics
of the surrounding soil and induces significant coupling responses of temperature, seepage …

It is frequently observed that the stress–strain behaviour of soft clayey soils is affected by
temperature changes. Development and verification of a reliable constitutive model with …

Conventional geotechnical engineering has not paid much attention to the thermal factor. In
recent engineering practices, such as thermal-boosted vacuum preloading, submarine …

The main objective of this research is to present a robust numerical framework based upon
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) for simulation of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in …
