Energy geostructures have been identified as a cost-effective mitigating strategy for the
adverse impact of climate change. Operation of energy geostructures results in temperature …

Contemporary geotechnical engineering practice encompasses design and construction of
thermo-active geo-structures or structures which would encounter thermal cycles throughout …

The analysis and design of energy geostructures are mainly characterised by the
mechanical behaviour of the soil–structure interface in non-isothermal conditions. In this …

Particle-scale modelling of clays requires defining an energy-separation function for a pair of
platy particles. The Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek (DLVO) theory provides a …

The thermal volumetric behaviour of soils plays a critical role in designing energy
geostructures, withstanding temperature fluctuations. This study examined, for the first time …

Abstract Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been widely used to investigate the
microstructure of clays, and several studies have examined the influence of the particles …
