How does energy consumption affect the scale of charging stations?

The results show that the energy consumption of EVs determines the demand of the charging stations, and the proportion of fast and slow piles determines the overall scale of charging stations. With the increase of the proportion of fast and slow piles, the scale of charging stations is also increasing.

Do energy piles have thermomechanical properties?

Due to the complexity of the interaction between piles and soil, full-scale in situ experiments are more practical for investigating the thermomechanical characteristics of energy piles. Some in situ experiments have been conducted to study the thermomechanical behavior of bored energy piles.

Does heating a single energy pile improve the bearing capacity?

Therefore, heating the pile was conducive to improving the vertical bearing capacity of the single energy pile and increasing the mechanical load level reduced the effect of heating on the bearing capacity of the pile.

Do energy piles have bearing properties?

As mentioned above, the bearing properties of the energy piles was not the same as that of the ordinary pile foundations, and it was affected by varying pile head loads. It should be noted that these results were obtained under the test condition of different constant temperature, a mechanical cycle and short period.

How much friction does a pile have under Phase 1?

Under phase-1, pile #1 and pile #6 were subjected to positive skin friction from the soil upward, and the friction gradually increased with the increase of mechanical load level. The positive skin friction increased along the length of the pile, but it was relatively low at about 3.6 to 12 m depth below the top of the pile.

How does temperature affect the bearing capacity of energy piles?

Temperature and mechanical load together affect the bearing capacity of energy piles. Heating the pile and the dissipation of excess pore water pressure in the surrounding soil had a positive effect on the vertical bearing capacity of the energy pile, while cooling the pile reduced the bearing capacity of the energy pile.
