Cross-sectional thermo-mechanical responses of energy piles

Abstract: Despite the widespread research on energy piles, there remain critical knowledge gaps in the cross-sectional thermal responses of concrete energy piles. This paper implements a unique research approach by developing and validating a numerical model with cross-sectional temperatures and strains measured in a field-scale energy pile (diameter = 0.6 m and length = 10 m), strengthening the reliability of modelling for energy piles. The numerical model was further used to investigate the influences of inlet fluid t… Show more

“…The pile was heated for 18 days, followed by 50 days of natural temperature recovery. The fluid and soil temperatures in this heating test were reported in previous studies conducted at the site (Faizal et al 2019a;Moradshahi et al 2021a). However, the pipe and interface temperatures and the thermal resistance of the pile and the soil were not reported in any of the previous studies conducted at this site.…”

“…The energy pile had a diameter of 0.6 m and a length of 10 m. The concrete used had a water to cement ratio of 0.42 and consisted of 7 mm aggregated cement, slag, fly ash and water. The thermal conductivity of the concrete was numerically back-analysed in previous studies conducted on this site and had a value of 1.5 W/mK (Moradshahi et al 2021a;2021b). The thermal conductivities of the soil from numerical back-analysis were 1.1, 1.7, 2, and 2.3 W/mK for depths of 0 -0.5 m, 0.5 -3.5 m, 3.5 -6 m, and 6 -12.5 m, respectively (Moradshahi et al 2021a;2021b).…”
