Résumé

There is currently a lack of established calculation method for the geotechnical design of heat exchanger piles. Thermo-mechanical effects are ignored and large overall security factors are therefore applied. This paper presents a new geotechnical numerical design method for heat exchanger piles, based on the load transfer approach. The method is validated on the basis of two in situ measurements. It is shown how the pile design could be adapted and optimized with respect to concrete resistance and the mobilization of the pile shaft friction during the operation of the heat exchange system.

Géotechnique

Dans le groupe des géosciences, la géotechnique est la technoscience consacrée à l’étude pratique de la subsurface terrestre sur laquelle notre action directe est possible pour son aménagement et/ou son exploitation, lors d’opérations de BTP (génie civil, bâtiment, carrières), de gestion des eaux souterraines (exploitation, drainage) et de prévention des risques naturels.

Béton de ciment

thumb|upright=1.0|Un mètre cube de béton (représentant la production mondiale annuelle de béton par habitant). Le béton de ciment, couramment appelé béton, est un mélange de ciment, de granulats, d'eau et d'adjuvants. Histoire du béton de ciment Ciment Le ciment se compose essentiellement de chaux, de silice, d'alumine et d'oxyde de fer combinés au silicate et aluminate de calcium. Les différents ciments résultent du mélange de clinker, de calcaire, de laitier et de cendres volantes (qui sont des composés à effet pouzzolanique, mais non considérés comme des pouzzolanes).

Deep foundation

A deep foundation is a type of foundation that transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the surface than a shallow foundation does to a subsurface layer or a range of depths. A pile or piling is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven or drilled deep into the ground at the building site. There are many reasons that a geotechnical engineer would recommend a deep foundation over a shallow foundation, such as for a skyscraper.

Contributions to rebar-to-concrete interaction and its structural implications for design and monitoring applications

Enrique Corres Sojo

Bond between reinforcing bars and concrete has been the focus of extensive research over the last century. This is well-justified as the functioning of reinforced concrete intimately depends on the interaction between rebar and concrete, as for example cra ...

Reusability assessment of reinforced concrete components prior to deconstruction from obsolete buildings

A large part of building demolitions is motivated by purely socio-economic reasons. Hence, about-to-be-demolished structures, commonly made of reinforced concrete, very often present no or little degradation. When adaptive reuse of the entire building is n ...
