The effect of the transverse isotropy of the claystone on thermal strains was confirmed, but it was also shown that the thermo-elasto-plastic overall volumetric response was mainly due to the axial response, in which some influence of the adsorbed water is suspected. Conversely, the reversible radial response observed along a temperature cycle could be modelled through a simple homogenisation method that confirmed that it was governed by the thermo-elastic expansion/contraction response of the constitutive minerals. Hence, the simultaneous occurrence of elastic thermal radial strains and elasto-plastic thermal axial strains was evidenced.","PeriodicalId":48920,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnique Letters","volume":"26 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78984674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
