Abstract: Response of geothermal energy piles in sand under combined thermal and mechanical loading was investigated in the present work using a nonlinear axisymmetric finite-element (FE) analysis procedure. In this study, the piles ...

Abstract: The thermomechanical response of geothermal energy pile groups in sand was studied in the present work by using a three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element analysis procedure. A raft was considered on the piles. The ...

Abstract: This study investigated the thermomechanical behavior of thermal pile groups in sand. To analyze the influence of cyclic thermal loading on the stress–strain behavior of piles in a group, pile groups containing four thermal ...

Abstract: In this study, the thermomechanical response of the pile group and associated impacts on surrounding soil are explored numerically for different (1) layouts of energy and conventional piles, (2) soil types, and ...
