The use of concrete geostructures for energy extraction and storage in the ground is an environmentally friendly and easy way of cooling and heating buildings. With such energy …
Unsatisfactory understanding of thermally induced axial stress and mobilized shaft friction in the thermo-active piles has led to a cautious and conservative design of such piles. Despite …
The long-term displacement of thermoactive piles subjected to static load and thermal cycles is analyzed using the numerical solution of the one-dimensional load-transfer method …
This letter shows that the increase of heat exchanger pile capacity in response to heating, observed in several small-scale laboratory studies, cannot be directly attributed to the …
