Sub-hourly simulation of residential ground coupled heat pump systems

open access: yes, 2006
Residential Ground Coupled Heat Pump systems are usually characterised by an ON/OFF behaviour of the heat pump with typical cycling frequencies of 1 - 4 cycles per hour.

New borehole heat exchanger thermal enhanced grout formulations

open access: yes, 2021
In shallow geothermal systems, especially ground source heat pumps (GSHP), cementitious grouts play a decisive role in guaranteeing an efficient heat transfer between the probe and the surrounding ground.

Tunnel assessment with borehole radar

open access: yes, 2017
The collapse of a tunnel and the damage in a second tunnel during the construction works, forced to the assessment of the ground in the front tunnel of the second structure, in order to avoid additional problems. The first evaluation was carried out with

Anisotropic Borehole Stress Program

open access: yes, 2019
Software developed to calculate the stress concentrations in the vicinity of a borehole drilled at an arbitrary direction through an elastically anisotropic rock formation. The code developed is based on the Lekhnitskij-Amadei solution.

Borehole seismic methods for opencast coal exploration [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Surface seismic techniques lack the resolution to image the top 100m or so of the earth's surface necessary for opencast coal exploration. The work reported in this thesis is the development of borehole seismic methods making use of the closely spaced ...

Determination of stress state in deep subsea formation by combination of hydraulic fracturing in situ test and core analysis: A case study in the IODP Expedition 319

open access: yes, 2013
[1] In situ test of hydraulic fracturing (HF) provides the only way to observe in situ stress magnitudes directly. The maximum and minimum horizontal stresses, SHmax and Shmin, are determined from critical borehole pressures, i.e., the reopening pressure
