Abstract
This study employs a 3D discrete element method (DEM) to simulate cone penetration tests (CPTs) in granular soils, taking into account the effect of temperature. A coupled thermal mechanical model is developed to allow for heat transfer and storage in the granular materials. The CPT simulations are conducted on granular samples prepared at various temperatures, with the specific heat and velocity of thermal conductivity being identified as two critical factors that influence sample heating time. Additionally, the thermal expansion coefficient is a crucial parameter that is closely related to the porosity of the sample. As the sample temperature increases, the particles expand, resulting in an increase in cone resistance.
