    • Abstract
  • Mechanical properties of methane hydrate bearing soils (MHBS) are influenced by the surrounding temperature (T) and pore-water pressure (σw). Study on such influence is of great significance for the safe exploration of methane hydrate. Firstly, a thermal-hydro-mechanical bond contact model is introduced to capture the microscopic contact behavior of methane hydrate bonded granules. Secondly, the model is implemented into the distinct element method (DEM) to simulate DEM biaxial tests of MHBS for different T and σw. Finally, the influence of T and σw on the macro-mechanical properties of MHBS is discussed by analyzing the results from the DEM biaxial tests and the laboratory tests. The results show that the DEM biaxial tests incorporating the bond contact model can efficiently capture the influence of T and σw on macro-mechanical properties of MHBS. T and σw affect the mechanical properties of inter-particle methane hydrate and in turn influence the macroscopic mechanical behavior of MHBS. A dimensionless parameter L, which is calculated in the coordinates of ordinate and abscissa being dimensionless σw and T respectively as the minimum distance from a point of dimensionless σw and T to the phase equilibrium line, is advised to use for evaluating the macro-mechanical properties of MHBS with respect to different T and σw.
