A full-scale experimental site with four energy test piles was built on the campus of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. This site was used to investigate interaction effects within a group of energy piles. First, the groun ...

Experimental results of volumetric response of a volcanic soil were collected in standard oedometric tests, with the aim to evaluate the volumetric response of this soil when subjected to loading and wetting paths. Microstructural features of reconstituted ...
The study presents a comprehensive characterization of the fabric of bio-improved soils by introducing an image based quantitative analysis of the crystalline bond lattice, as a means of better understanding and interpreting the observed mechanical respons ...
Energy piles efficiency is strongly affected by soil saturation conditions: low water contents considerably decrease their performance thus limiting the possibility to extend their application in arid environments. This paper investigates the MICP (Microbi ...
The lack of reliable methods for evaluation of soil abrasivity and revealing the effects of different parameters on wear rate are nowadays considered as a deficiency in geotechnical investigation during feasibility study, design and construction phases of ...
Dans le cadre du projet Our Common Soils : the Swiss City-Territory as a renewable resource, financé par le Fond National de la Recherche Scientifique pour une durée de quatre ans à compter du 1er octobre 2017, le Laboratoire d'urbanisme (EPFL Lab U) lance ...
The behaviour of the pile-soil interface is important for the response of floating piles in terms of displacement and lateral friction. Regarding energy piles, which couple the structural roles of deep foundations with the principle of shallow geothermal e ...
Coupling hydrological models with plant physiology is crucial to capture the feedback mechanisms occurring within the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. However, the ability of such models to describe the spatial variability of plant responses to different e ...
The response of soil subjected to thermal cyclic loading plays an important role in certain engineering applications, such as high-level nuclear waste disposal, heat storage systems, CO2 sequestration plant and energy geostructures. For instance, energy ge ...
This paper explores the challenges of model parameterization and process representation when simulating multiple hydrologic responses from a highly controlled unsaturated flow and transport experiment with a physically based model. The experiment, conducte ...
