Abstract: Shallow geothermal energy systems (SGES) are a promising technology for contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector. Soil thermal conductivity (λ) governs the heat transfer process in ground under a steady ...

Abstract: This study conducted a comprehensive field trial test on a large-diameter, extra-long, rock-embedded energy pile subjected to mechanical, thermal, and coupled thermomechanical loads. This paper introduces a novel approach ...

Abstract: Over the last three decades, cutoff walls using soil mix technology have been developed and deployed to deliver in situ containment of contaminated sites. The aggressive contaminated soil environment imposes significant ...

Abstract: Consolidating previous research on the development of novel microcapsules for self-healing in cementitious systems, this work forms a base for developing an implementation strategy and guidance for microcapsule-based ...
