Energy piles, due to their unique roles of coupling the structural support and heat exchange with the surrounding ground, are subject to temperature cycles during their lifetime. Although their behaviour during individual temperature increase or decrease h ...
Energy piles are deep foundation elements designed to utilize the relatively constant temperature of the ground for efficient heating and cooling of the buildings while at the same time serve as foundations. The temperature changes during the operation of ...
This paper presents an overview of new technologies and applications on thermoactive geostructures. A discussion session on issues involved with near surface geothermal systems is presented, focusing on opportunities for developing new technologies to addr ...
Energy piles are subjected to short- and long-term cyclic thermal loads due to their unique role as heat exchangers. Their response to monotonic temperature change has been investigated by various researchers from both experimental and numerical points of ...
This paper focuses on the main issues discussed during a session on the impact of thermohydromechanical behavior of soils on thermoactive geotechnical systems, and how they could affect the performance of thermoactive geotechnical systems. Both soil behavi ...
