Impacts of Unsaturated Conditions on The Ultimate Axial Capacity of Energy Piles

This study uses concepts from unsaturated soil mechanics to explain changes in axial capacity observed in geotechnical centrifuge experiments on semi-floating energy piles in unsaturated silt heated monotonically to different temperatures. Thermally-induced drying of the unsaturated silt surrounding...
