Integrated Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Behavior of Clays and Argillaceous Rocks: A Perspective
Abstract
This paper synthesizes nearly a decade of research on the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior of clays and argillaceous rocks. Drawing from experimental observations, numerical model development, and field-scale simulations, it presents a consolidated view of soil-structure interaction under thermal loading, desiccation cracking, and long-term excavation impacts. Key findings are drawn from constitutive modeling, in situ tests, and energy geostructure applications, offering a practical THM framework for nuclear waste repositories and climate-resilient infrastructure.
