ABSTRACT
Some studies have focused on the effects of temperature on the shear strength and the stress and strain characteristics of saturated soils. Experimental results reported by Hueckel and Baldi (1990) and Graham et al. (2001) showed that temperature had no effect on the critical state line in the deviator stress/mean effective stress plane. Lingnua (1993) and Houston et al. (1985) studied the uniqueness of the critical state line in the deviator stress/mean effective stress plane and reported a small shift in the critical state line with changes in temperature. The shrinkage of yield locus with increasing temperature was observed in the experimental results of Hueckel and Baldi (1990), Tanaka et al. (1997), Cui et al. (2000) and Graham et al. (2001).
