Proceedings of the 18
th
International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris 2013
summarizes 18 papers on thermal geomechanics and geothermal
energy published in the proceedings of the 18
th
ICSMGE. The
papers report a variety of studies encompassing laboratory and
field experiments, and modeling. Out of these 18 papers, four
papers were submitted from the UK, three from Japan, two each
from Australia and France, and one each from Denmark, Russia,
Spain, and USA. This indirectly shows the relative early stage
of the current state-of-the-art on the thermal and geothermal
energy related topics in geotechnical engineering. Eight papers
focussed on the fundamental aspects of thermal geomechanics
related to the thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of soil
and rock, four papers dealt with ground heat exchanger systems,
five papers dealt with geothermal piles, and one paper dealt
with thermal energy storage.
4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Dr. Anh Minh Tang, Senior Researcher at Ecole des Ponts Paris
Tech, France helped us in interpreting the papers written in
French for which we are grateful.
