Impact of the Rate of Heating on the Thermal Consolidation of Saturated Silt
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the impact of the rate of heating on thermally-induced volume change of saturated, normally consolidated silt using a temperature-regulated oedometer with single-sided drainage. The results indicate that the rate of heating does not lead to a significant impact on the thermal volume change at the end of heating, but it does affect the magnitude of excess pore water pressure generation and the maximum transient contraction. Specimens heated rapidly were observed to initially contract by a greater amount than those heated slowly due to dissipation of excess pore water pressure, but were then observed to expand at the same rate as the heating rate as the dissipation process slowed.
