: This study focuses on an evaluation of the thermal volume change of normally-consolidated Kaolinite clay under both undrained and drained conditions. For the tests under either condition, clay specimens were heated in a modified triaxial test setup from room temperature (23 °C) to approximately 60 °C then subsequently cooled. In both tests, the thermal volume change of the clay specimen was inferred using image analysis. During heating, elastic expansion was observed for the undrained specimen while plastic contraction was observed for the drained specimen. The thermally-induced excess pore water pressures measured in the undrained specimen compared well with predicted values from a mechanistic model. However, the thermal volume change of the drained specimen predicted using the pore water pressures measured in the undrained specimen indicated an under-prediction, possibly due to the particular parameters used in the analysis as well as the possibility that thermally-accelerated creep may be superimposed atop thermal consolidation.
