Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Effects on the Behaviour of Unsaturated Soil-Structure Interfaces and the Numerical Analysis of Energy Piles

The shear strength of soil-structure interfaces is relevant to the stability of energy piles. The thermo-hydro-mechanical processes can have a strong effect on the behaviour of interfaces between unsaturated soils and piles. Temperature changes lead to water movement in the soil. The moisture loss o...
