Lepillier, B.P. (author)In 2020, as the world Energy demand keeps on rising (International Energy Agency (IEA), 2019), and with the global climate warming a reality (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2020), reducing our societal impact on Earth is of utmost importance. Energy and Climate have always been intrinsically related. Therefore...doctoral thesis 2020

Snoeren, Jasper (author)Energy piles are getting more attention for their sustainable and economic potential. The fluid pipes are integrated in the foundation piles, which makes it cost-attractive, but also relatively new to the Dutch geotechnical industry. By lowering the temperature limit of the anti-freeze fluid in the pipes the heat extraction and thereby also the...master thesis 2020

Smulders, C.M. (author), Hosseini, S. (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author)Finite Element Analysis of serviceability limit states (SLS) and bearing capacity (ULS) of piled foundations involves the modelling piles in the soil, including pile-soil interaction. Embedded beams are an efficient way to model multiple piles for complex practical applications. Following initial work of Sadek & Shahrour (2004) on embedded...conference paper 2019

Bui, T.A. (author), Casarella, A, (author), Di Donna, A. (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author)Thermal and Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) analysis is at the core of a broad range of geotechnical engineering applications. In this context, an implicit fully coupled formulation has been implemented in the Finite Element software PLAXIS to perform robustly THM analyses. Advanced constitutive models can be easily defined and implemented with...conference paper 2019

Vardon, P.J. (author), Buragohain, Poly (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Hart, J (author), Fokker, PA (author), Graham, C (author)OPERA-PU-TUD321c<br/>Radioactive substances and ionizing radiation are used in medicine, industry, agriculture, re- search, education and electricity production. This generates radioactive waste. In the Neth- erlands, this waste is collected, treated and stored by COVRA (Centrale Organisatie Voor Radioactief Afval). After interim storage for a...report 2017

Haxaire, A (author), Aukenthaler, Manuel (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author)Recently, a constitutive model has been developed to describe the mechanical behaviour of frozen soil as a function of temperature, all the way to the unfrozen state, and vice versa [1]. The model has been implemented as a user-defined soil model (UDSM) in the geotechnical finite element code PLAXIS 2D and applied in practical thermo-hydro...journal article 2017

Buragohain, P. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Disposal of spent nuclear fuel and long lived radioactive waste in deep clay geological formations is one of the promising options worldwide. In this concept of the geological disposal system, the Boom Clay is considered as a potential host rock when designing a generic waste repository in the Netherlands. For design and evaluation of a...conference paper 2016
