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 …

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 …

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) …

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 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 …

The bearing resistance of energy piles in the presence of temperature effects has not been
thoroughly investigated, preventing the perfecting of energy pile design methods …

This study presents the results from physical modeling experiments on centrifuge-scale
energy foundations in dry sand and unsaturated silt layers. These experiments were …

A coupled heat transfer and water flow model implemented in COMSOL and validated
against measurements from a tank scale test was applied to investigate the application of …

Energy geotechnics involves the use of geotechnical principles to understand and engineer
the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in collecting …

Prior to this study, no simplified yet rational methods were available for estimating the
vertical displacements of energy pile groups subjected to thermal loads. Observing such a …
