Load Transfer Method for Energy Piles in a Group with Pile–Soil–Slab–Pile Interaction

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman, Elena Ravera

The behavior of an energy pile in a group is different from that of an isolated energy pile due to thermal and mechanical interactions. This study aims to extend the load transfer method to consider the mechanical and thermal interactions of energy piles i ...
