Impact of Heat Exchange on Side Shear in Thermo-Active Foundations
Heat exchangers are currently being incorporated into drilled shaft foundations so that the same building materials can be employed to improve the energy efficiency of heat pump systems and to provide structural support for the building. This study involves the measurement of the load-settlement curves of scale-model thermo-active foundations in a geotechnical centrifuge after heating to different temperatures before applying a building load. The measured curves were evaluated using a load transfer (T-z) analysis to provide a preliminary evaluation of the changes in side shear distribution with heating. Foundations heated to different temperatures then loaded to failure showed an increase in side shear proportional to the temperature change.
