Houston, Sandra L.; Houston, William N.; Williams, Neil D. (1985): Thermo-mechanical behavior of seafloor sediments. American Society of Civil Engineers, New York, NY, United States, Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 111 (11), 1249-1263, georefid:1986-009034

Abstract:
A laboratory investigation of the thermo-mechanical response of deep ocean sediments has been performed. The study encompasses the range of thermal loadings expected for the emplacement of a canister of radioactive waste approximately 30 m below the seafloor in deep ocean waters. The experimental program included mechanical and thermal consolidation, undrained triaxial compressive strength and constant stress level creep tests on seafloor sediments over a temperature range of 4-200 degrees C.
