Abstract: 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. Quantifying the relationship between soil suction ...

Abstract: The behavior of an energy pile in a group is different from that of an isolated energy pile due to thermal and mechanical interactions. This study aims to extend the load transfer method to consider the mechanical and ...

Abstract: Moreover, a two-dimensional finite-element model has been developed by incorporating unloading-reloading responses into the monotonic load-transfer curves to define the soil–energy pile interaction during heat exchange ...

Abstract: Energy piles present a promising avenue for harnessing shallow geothermal energy, attracting significant attention in recent years, resulting in a surge of studies including field and model tests and numerical analyses. ...

Abstract: The unsaturated geological layers are a common site of many engineering projects; however, it is challenging to predict their water retention capacity and shear strength. Through analysis of soils with dual-porosity ...
