N2 - A thermal probe based on the hot wire method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of MX80 bentonite specimens compacted at different dry densities and water contents. These tests evidenced the influence of dry density, water content, saturation degree, mineralogy and volume fraction of soil components on the thermal conductivity of the soil. A simple method was finally proposed allowing the prediction of the thermal conductivity of compacted bentonite. Its relevance was evaluated. Copyright ASCE 2006.
