“…( 40) into (23), which gives: According to Eq. ( 40), the thermal volume change depends on the accuracy of coefficient k. However, many experimental results revealed that the coefficient k depends on the property of soils including OCR, initial void ratio, plasticity index [1,6,7,9,10,13,14,16,18,26,30,38,39,44,46,48,63,64,76,79,80,91]. Thermal volume change, on the other hand, is almost independent of suction, according to Uchaipichat and Khalili [80].…”
