Abstract
![CDATA[Modern engineering solutions which exhibit a change in the natural ground temperature require a better understanding of the fundamental behaviour of soils with respect to temperature. Examples include; energy piles, nuclear storage, and novel construction techniques such as freezing or heating. A temperature change can affect soil settlement/volume, as well as its strength characteristics. The response is complex, a function of numerous factors including; material type/composition, stress history, drainage condition, loading, and time. This paper presents results from triaxial tests performed on reconstituted kaolinite using multiple stress histories to investigate the impact of temperature on consolidation behaviour and undrained shear strength.]]
