Some geotechnical applica<strong>ti</strong>ons<br />
<strong>of</strong> so<strong>il</strong> thermal proper<strong>ti</strong>es<br />
• Buried power transmission cables<br />
What is the thermal resistance between a buried<br />
power line <strong>and</strong> the external environment?<br />
• Ground source heat pump installa<strong>ti</strong>ons<br />
For a given volume <strong>of</strong> so<strong>il</strong>, how much heat can be<br />
stored? How fast can <strong>it</strong> be stored?<br />
• Burial <strong>of</strong> high level radio-ac<strong>ti</strong>ve ac<strong>ti</strong>ve waste<br />
How hot w<strong>il</strong>l <strong>it</strong> get? How w<strong>il</strong>l <strong>it</strong> affect moisture<br />
patterns?
