Abstract
Based on the assumption that the change of the void ratio is caused by effective stress, creep effect and temperature, a one-dimensional nonlinear consolidation theory considering the thermal effect is established that contains the heat balance equation and the continuity equation. Verification and calculation examples are performed. The results show that the dissipation rate obtained using the present method is slower than that obtained using the traditional method. The pore water dissipation rate or consolidation rate considering the secondary consolidation and temperature is higher than that when only considering secondary consolidation. Heating accelerates the dissipation rate of pore water, especially in the early stage of consolidation.
