The energy requalification of existing buildings entails the fulfillment of different, often
conflicting, criteria, such as the reduction of the specific annual energy demand, the …

Climate change is influencing traditionally stable factors such as meteorological
characteristics and soil conditions, impacting the planning process of electrical energy grids …

With the increase in the electrical load and the progressive introduction of power generation
from intermittent renewable energy sources, the power line operating conditions are …

This paper presents a modified Jaya algorithm for optimizing the material costs and electric-
thermal performance of an Underground Power Cable System (UPCS). A High Voltage (HV) …

Thermal conductivity is a fundamental engineering property governing heat transfer process
in soils. It depends on mineral component, compaction moisture content, dry density, soil …

Lafarge Gruntar™ material is proposed in this paper as a new thermal backfill component,

A road tunnel is an enclosed and covered infrastructure for the vehicular traffic. Its lighting
system provides 24 h of artificial sources only, with a higher amount of electric power used …

Several natural and man-made phenomena (eg, droughts, wildfires, shallow geothermal
technologies) can subject unsaturated slopes to elevated temperatures. However, the …

Soil thermal conductivity (λ) is an important parameter for determining the thermal properties
of rock and soil materials. In this study, multivariate probability distribution (MPD) models …

The dynamic management of electric power distribution lines has become a topic of great
