Effects of drying and shrinkage on the mechanical performance of unsaturated fine/medium- grained soils used as heat storage media

Studying the mechanical behavior of heat storage media is vital in the safety and design of most sensible and borehole thermal energy storage systems, which are normally built as part of the sub-structure of buildings with load bearing capabilities. In spite of its importance on the efficiency and p...
