Geothermal energy piles (GEPs) are an environmentally friendly energy source which utilise
the low-grade heat energy present in the shallow earth surface to provide heating and/or …

Greenhouse gas emissions produced by fossil fuels are causing a slow change of the
climate's conditions. Air conditioning systems in engineering superstructures demand a …

Energy piles, a new type of heat exchanger that serves dual purposes, have gained
increasing attention due to the growing energy demand and corresponding carbon …

This position paper was developed by members of the task force on “Energy Geostructures”
of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) …

In the present work, the shear behaviour of soils and the soil–concrete interface is
investigated through direct shear tests at various temperatures. A conventional direct shear …

The behaviour of conventional pile groups (eg closely spaced) that are subjected to
mechanical loads has been shown to be different from the behaviour of single isolated piles …

The operation of energy piles in summer can expel excess heat of the buildings into the
ground by the use of a heat pump. Despite having been implemented for decades, the …

Energy piles are rapidly gaining acceptance around the world because they represent a
renewable and clean source of energy that can be used for the heating and cooling of …

The axial and radial thermal responses of a field-scale energy pile installed in dense sand
and subjected to monotonic and cyclic temperatures are examined. It is found that the axial …

Integrating heat exchanger pipes with structural foundations in one system has created a
new renewable solution for buildings' thermal loads. However, the interaction between …
