3 Background THM coupled analysis Environmental, GeoHazard and Energy resources problems Bentonite is used for buffer and backfill material of nuclear waste material (Loret, Heuckel and Gajo, 2004) Hydraulic properties and swelling characteristics of compacted bentonite is temperature dependent. Diffusion of contamination in the ground is dependent on temperature Thermal softening plays a key role in the Dynamic thermo-poro-mechanical analysis of landslides (Vardoulakis, 2002) Thermal consolidation is caused by the pore water pressure development due to volume expansion of soil particles and pore fluid, and thermal viscoplastic softening due to temperature change. (Mitchell et al., 1968, Adachi et al., 1998, Delage, Sultan and Cui, 2000) Methane hydrate has been attracted as a new energy resources Deformation characteristics of geomaterials containing methane hydrate are significantly affected by temperature variation (Kimoto and Oka, 2005). 3
