It lies within the framework of characterization and modelling of soil behaviour on thermo-hydro-mechanical loading. In this study, clayey silty sand samples are subjected to mechanical consolidation tests at different temperatures and fixed suctions. These experimental tests make it possible to determine the yield surface evolution according to temperature ranging between 20 • C and 60 • C. For the studied soil, the experimental study shows a thermo-extensible nature of the yield surface. An explanation of this result is proposed while gone by microscopic considerations in touch with capillary meniscuses evolution according to temperature and suction. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01412518/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01412518/file/Chap_Thermo-mechanical_behaviour_soil_ElYoussoufi_al_2005.pdf %L hal-01412518 %U https://hal.science/hal-01412518 %~ CNRS %~ LMGC %~ GENIECIVIL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
