Abstract
This paper relates to an ongoing study on the impact of coupled thermo-mechanical loads on geothermal energy piles. This preliminary study evaluated the performance of laboratory scale energy piles embedded in silica soil. The laboratory scale model pile was subjected to a thermo-mechanical load to investigate effects of temperature on its shaft friction resistance. Testing of the model pile was carried out at different vertical stress levels, temperature gradients and heat exchanger modes. It has been found that the temperature is an important factor which influences the pile load capacity.
