Thermo-Mechanical Performance of a Phase Change Energy Pile in Saturated Sand
To reduce the thermal response and improve the heat storage capacity of energy piles, a phase change (PC) energy pile was proposed. This innovative PC pile is made of concrete containing macro-encapsulated PCM hollow steel balls (HSB) as coarse aggregates. A numerical model was developed to simulate...
