Analysis and Design of Energy Geostructures
1st Edition
Theoretical Essentials and Practical Application

L. Laloui; A.Rotta Loria

Analysis and Design of Energy Geostructures gathers for the first time theoretical, experimental and design knowledge available to date about energy geostructures: an innovative technology that couples for any type of built environment the structural support role of the geostructures with the heating-cooling role of the geothermal heat exchangers harvesting renewable energy. This book resolves this challenge by treating, without being limited to, the aforementioned knowledge and proposes a large number of practical application exercises about key aspects governing the behaviour and performance of energy geostructures that need to be addressed in analysis and design. The aim of the book is to cover the essence of the interdisciplinary and integrated competences required in the energy, geotechnical and structural analysis and design of energy geostructures that engineers, architects and urban project managers have to face when addressing such innovative technology.

Mécanique des Sols et des Roches

Lyesse Laloui ; Laurent Vulliet; Jian Zhao;

La mécanique des sols et la mécanique des roches sont des disciplines généralement traitées séparément dans la littérature. Pour la première fois, un traité réunit ces deux spécialités, en intégrant également les connaissances en lien avec les écoulements souterrains et les transferts thermiques. A la fois théorique et pratique, cet ouvrage propose tout d’abord une description détaillée de la nature et de la composition des sols et des roches, puis s’attache à la modélisation de problèmes aux conditions limites et présente les essais permettant de caractériser les sols et les roches, tant d’un point de vue mécanique qu’hydraulique et thermique. La problématique des sols non saturés et des écoulements multiphasiques est également abordée. Une attention particulière est portée aux lois de comportement mécanique et à la détermination de leurs paramètres par des essais in situ et en laboratoire, et l’ouvrage offre également une présentation détaillée des systèmes de classifications des sols et des massifs rocheux, ainsi que du comportement des fondations, des pressions sur les écrans, de la stabilité des pentes et du comportement des cavités souterraines.

Bio- and Chemo- Mechanical Processes in Geotechnical Engineering

L. Laloui;

The seventeenth Géotechnique Symposium in Print took place at the Institution of Civil Engineers on 3 June 2013 and sought to address the new challenges that are emerging from the interactions between multi-physical phenomena. These proceedings bring together the international research presented at the symposium and published across two issues of Géotechnique as well as additional subsequent research published in the journal.
The papers selected for the symposium cover a wide range of geotechnical processes, including: • Experimental analysis and constitutive modelling of the bio- and chemo-mechanical behaviour ofgeomaterials
• Effects of changes in the pore water chemistry on soil and rock behaviour.Interactions between geometrical scales of diverse biological, chemical, physical and mechanical processes.
• Case studies of chemical and biological soil modifications.
• Applications of bio- and chemo-mechanical models in emerging technologies.

Géostructures énergétiques

L. Laloui; A. Di Donna;

Le développement des géostructures énergétiques connait, depuis une dizaine d’années, une croissance exceptionnelle dans le monde entier. Cette nouvelle technologie représente une source d’énergie propre et renouvelable qui peut être utilisée à la fois pour chauffer et refroidir les bâtiments et les infrastructures. En se basant sur le principe de la géothermie de surface, elle couple le rôle structurel primordial des géostructures avec les besoins en énergie. Cet ouvrage dresse un panorama des technologies en matière de géostructures énergétiques. Il étudie tout d’abord le comportement des pieux échangeurs à travers la modélisation physique à différentes échelles, puis traite de la modélisation numérique de différents types de géostructures énergétiques. Enfin, il considère les aspects liés à l’implémentation de cette nouvelle technologie dans le processus de conception. Ce livre rassemble les connaissances actuelles, en considérant à la fois les aspects énergétiques, les défis géotechniques, les méthodes de dimensionnement et les stratégies adoptées par les ingénieurs pour appréhender ces innovations technologiques.

Energy Geostructures: Innovation in Underground Engineering

L. Laloui; A. Di Donna;

The objective of this book is to supply the reader with an exhaustive overview on the most up-to-date and available knowledge of these structures. It details the procedures that are currently being applied in the regions where geostructures are being implemented. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is divided into chapters, and is written by the brightest engineers and researchers in the field. After an introduction to the technology as well as to the main effects induced by temperature variation on the geostructures, Part 1 is devoted to the physical modeling of energy geostructures, including in situ investigations, centrifuge testing and small-scale experiments. The second part includes numerical simulation results of energy piles, tunnels and bridge foundations, while also considering the implementation of such structures in different climatic areas. The final part concerns practical engineering aspects, from the delivery of energy geostructures through the development of design tools for their geotechnical dimensioning. The book concludes with a real case study.
