Abstract :
[en] This paper presents a highly-coupled thermo-plasticity model for unsaturated soils. The effect of temperature on the mechanics of unsaturated soils is briefly addressed. Then the equations of the developed model, so-called ACMEG-TS, are detailed. Finally, the model is validated by the means of comparisons with experiments. This constitutive model constitutes an effective tool for modelling the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of geomaterials involved in the confinement of nuclear waste disposal.
