paper presents an
analysis performed using a coupled TEMP/W-SEEP/W finite element model to
consider both the conducive and convective effects of groundwater flow on the
thermal regime created by a ground source ...
Significant research effort has led to improvements in our ability to estimate the ultimate
bearing resistance of footings in sand. These techniques often estimate the footing
resistance at relatively large displacements, ...
The paper considers two techniques to model the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) end resistance, qc in a dense sand deposit using commercial finite element programmes. In the first approach, Plaxis was used to perform spherical ...
Analysis of the thermal regime created by a geothermal borehole heat exchanger is performed using a closed form radial heat flow equation, a geothermal borehole heat exchanger design tool and a finite element model. ...
