Deep Energy Foundations: Geotechnical Challenges and Design Considerations
… geothermal boreholes have utilized the ground energy for space heating and cooling. In this system, a circulation loop is placed in a small-diameter borehole typically extending to a depth of 200-300 ft. The hole is then backfilled with a mixture of sand, bentonite and/or cement. The loop is …

Use of thermo-active piling for slope stabilisation
… piles for the harvesting of heat from solar energy – which is meant to be subsequently used for road de-icing purposes - were investigated. An extensive centrifuge testing programme was conducted to quantify the overall performance of unsaturated slopes reinforced by thermo-active piles under …

Response of suction caissons in soft clay under vertical and horizontal loading for tidal energy converter applications
… has driven the research and use of renewable energy sources both on and offshore. Of the available offshore renewable energy resources, the tidal current serves as a promising and consistent source of energy due to its dependence on the rotation of the earth and the orbit of both the earth and …
