Energy geotechnology provides low carbon, cost-effective and local energy solu-tions to structures and infrastructures, which opens a new era for the geotechnical engineering practice, by extending the conventional role of structural design to the ...
The data set contains the Abaqus input files of the numerical analyses presented in two research papers. 1) Influence of load history on the force-displacement response of in-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls, Engineering Structures, 2017, L ...
Presently, environmental issues are considered as critical aspects concerning the market competitiveness in the building and construction sector. However, the construction sector is regarded as one of the main areas contributing to CO2 emissions and resour ...
Understanding the behaviour of soil-structure interfaces is critical for addressing the analysis and design of energy geostructures. In this study, the interface failure mechanism of energy piles (where a shear band is detached from the surrounding soil th ...
Opalinus Clay is the selected host geomaterial for the construction of underground geological disposals for radioactive waste in Switzerland. The formation has been studied in several sites, i.e. the Mont Terri laboratory, and several boreholes in the nort ...
Research and practice in the broader fields of civil and geotechnical engineering had long ignored the presence of living microorganisms in the subsurface and the way it impacts conventional practices. In the last 10 years, the term “microbial induced calc ...
The present invention concerns a geosynthetic element (1) for a geotechnical engineering application. The geosynthetic element (1) comprises: bacteria carriers (3) for carrying bacteria arranged to be propagated from the geosynthetic element (1) to a surro ...
Energy geostructuresprovide low carbon, cost-effective and local energy solutions to structures and infrastructures, which opens a new era for the geotechnical engineering practice, by extending the conventional role of geotechnicaldesign to the one of add ...
Ecological awareness, pressing climate considerations and rising need for soil stabilization push forward the quest for alternative solutions in geotechnical engineering such as Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP). Precipitated crystals serv ...
The response of the soil-structure interface can significantly affect the performance of any geotechnical structure. Thermal cycles are a new factor that influence the response to all structures that have an energy function in addition to the structural on ...
