Energy geotechnics involves the use of geotechnical principles to understand and engineer
the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in collecting …

This paper presents a new theoretical formulation of coupled heat, moisture, and air transfer
in unsaturated soil. A mechanistic approach is adopted that extends a previous potential …

This paper describes a thermo-hydro-mechanical framework suitable for modelling the
behaviour of unsaturated soils. In particular, this paper focuses on bentonite clay subjected …

A rigorous and unified treatment of the theory of non-isothermal flow and deformation in
unsaturated porous media is presented. The governing equations based on the equations of …

This paper presents a formulation for coupled heat and moisture transfer in a deformable
partially saturated soil. The research is based on a mechanistic phase interaction model …

In this paper, the influence of soil moisture transfer on building heat loss via the ground is
investigated by comparing fully coupled simulations with linear thermal simulations. The …

Geothermal energy piles (GEPs) are an environmentally friendly heat exchange technology
that dualizes the role of structural foundation pile for load support and in meeting the …

Exploitation of shallow ground and its low-grade heat potential is fundamental to designing
5th generation district heating and cooling (DHC) networks. Horizontal ground-source heat …

Compared with traditional borehole heat exchangers, energy geostructures are more
common to be embedded in unsaturated soils. The coupled heat and moisture transfer in …

The Paper examines the use of a thermal probe in the experimental determination of the
thermal conductivity of unsaturated soil. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part a …
