This experimental research determines the effect of stress levels on            thermal conductivity of soils.  A modified triaxial cell will be used           to perform conductivity measurements in soils at different levels of            confining stresses.  The results will help to develop constitutive              relations between the thermal and mechanical properties of soils.  Soil         is a particulate system made up of discrete particles with void spaces.         Thus, stresses on soils have a considerable impact on the thermal               response characteristics.  Experimental measurements on the                     conductivity of soils as a function of the boundary conditions have not         been made thus far.  The results of this research will have a potential         to improve the basic understanding of the thermal and mechanical                behavior of soils.
