This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on evaluation of thermal response
and performance of prototype precast-high strength concrete (PHC) energy pile. Short-term …

Geothermal energy pile foundations are an alternative energy source for heating and
cooling needs. Utilising this source of energy has great potential due to the environmental …

Energy piles have recently emerged as a viable alternative to borehole heat exchangers, but
their energy efficiency has so far seen little research. In this work, a finite element numerical …

In recent years, the utilization of geothermal energy through ground buried heat exchanger
to provide heat source for buildings has become extremely attractive within China and all …

Increasing use of the ground as a thermal reservoir is expected in the near future. Shallow
geothermal energy (SGE) systems have proved to be sustainable alternative solutions for …

The thermal properties of soils are important in a variety of applications, including the
