Prof. Lyesse Laloui and Dr. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria successfully organized a short course for practitioners and academics entitled “Energy Geostructures Analysis and Design”.
The short course took place in the EPFL campus on 20-22 March 2018. The course accounted for more than 20 participants from 8 countries. The lectures also featured the presence of worldwide renown experts in the field such as Dr. Tony Amis (GI Energy) and Dr. Sebastian Homuth (Zueblin).
The first day had been dedicated to the energy behaviour of such geostructures, discussing the theoretical aspects governing the thermal exchange processes. Exercise sessions about the energy design of energy geostructures were included.
The second day encompassed topics related to the thermo-mechanical analysis of energy piles, walls, tunnels and anchors. Dedicated exercise sessions were included. A visit of the LMS experimental facilities closed the day.
The third and last day featured the presence of worldwide renown experts in the field of energy geostructures which shared their experience about real project developments. A final lecture and exercise session related to the performance-based design of energy geostructures in the framework of Eurocodes gave a final contribution to this course.
