Abstract
Based on a fully coupled thermoporoelastic formulation, this paper dis cusses the general conditions where the coupling should be maintained, and where a partial or full decoupling technique may be applied. This exercise is aimed at providing practical solutions for the coupled th ermoporoelastic analyses where excessive manipulations and unreasonabl e simplifications are minimized. The necessity for full coupling and t he justification for decoupling are illustrated in a thermoporoelastic application of a one-dimensional consolidation scenario.
