In this paper, the applicability of cement grout has been studied as an alternative to bentonite grout for backfill ground heat exchangers. To provide an optimal mixture design, the thermal conductivity of cement grout and bentonite grout with various mixture ratios were experimentally evaluated and compared. Numerical analyses using Fluent(FVM program) were applied to compare the thermal transfer efficiency of the cement grout with that of the bentonite grout used in the construction. Also the effective ground thermal conductivity was measured by In-situ thermal response test. The results showed that the thermal efficiency of the cement grout was better than the bentonite grout. Consequently, the cement grout could be an alternative with more thermal efficiency to bentonite grout for ground heat exchangers.

The design of a ground-source heat pump system includes specifications for a ground loop heat exchanger where the heat transfer rate depends on the effective thermal conductivity of the ground and the effective thermal resistance of the borehole. To evaluate these heat transfer properties, in-situ thermal response tests on four vertical test boreholes with different grouting materials were conducted by adding a monitored amount of heat to circulating water. The line-source method is applied to the temperature rise in an in-situ test and extended to also give an estimate of borehole effective thermal resistance. The effect of increasing thermal conductivity of the grouting materials from 0.818 to $1.104W/m^{\circ}C$ resulted in overall increases in effective thermal conductivity by 15.8 to 56.3% and reductions in effective thermal resistance by 13.0 to 31.1%.

The objective of this study is to determine the effective thermal conductivity and thermal resistance values in test boreholes with three different fill materials. To evaluate these heat transfer properties, in-situ tests on four vertical boreholes were conducted by adding a monitored amount of heat to water over various test lengths. Two parameter estimation models, line-source and numerical one-dimensional models, for evaluation of thermal response test data were compared when applied on the same four data sets. Results show that the average thermal conductivity deviation between measured data and these two models is in the range of $3.03\%$ to $4.45\%$. The effect of increasing grout thermal conductivity from 1.34 to 1.82 $W/m^{\circ}C$ resulted in overall increases in effective formation thermal conductivity by $11.1\%$ to $51.9\%$ and reductions in borehole thermal resistance by $11.6\%$ to $26.1\%$.

Performing a series of in-situ thermal response tests, the effective thermal conductivity of six vertical closed-loop ground heat exchangers was experimentally evaluated and compared each other, which were constructed in a test bed in Wonju. To compare thermal efficiency of the ground heat exchangers in field, the six boreholes were constructed with different construction conditions: grouting materials (cement vs. bentonite), different additives (silica sand vs. graphite) and the shape of pipe-sections (general U-loop type vs. 3 pipe-type). From the test results, it can be concluded that cement grouting has a higher effective thermal conductivity than that of bentonite grouting, and the efficiency of graphite better performs over silica sand as a thermally-enhancing addictive. In addition, a new 3 pipe-type heat exchanger provides less thermal interference between the inlet and outlet pipe than the conventional U-loop type heat exchanger, which results in superior thermal performance.

Groundwater flow in confined aquifer and heat transport in underground geologic media are using same governing equation(line source) like well fuction. Therefore the conventional slope method using only later data obtained from in-situ thermal response test to determine the thermal conductivity of vertical geothermal heat exchanger(GHEX) is basically identical with one of Theis straight line method of aquifer test under artesian condition. In case that the pumping rate(Q, $m^3$/d) and drawdown(s,m) which are used for input data of existing hydrogeologic computer programs for aquifer test are replaced and converted to supplying heat energy per unit length of bore hole(Q/L,w/m or Kcal/h.m) and temperatures (T,$^{\circ}C$)measured at in and out-let of GHEX as in put data respectively, thermal conductivity around geothermal heat exchanger can be easily estimated without any special modification of the existing hydrogeologic computer program. Two numbers of time series temperature variation data obtained from in situ geothermal response test are analized using Theismethods(standard curve and straight line method) by using existing aquifer test program and conventional Slope method proposed by ASHRAE. The results show that thermal conductivity values estimated by two straight methods are identical and the difference of estimated values between standard curve methods and Slope method are also within acceptable ranges. In general,the thermal conductivity estimated from Theis straight linemethod gives more accurate value than the one of Slope method due to that Slope method uses only visual matching otherwise Theis method uses automatic curve matching estimation with reducing RSS.

The energy slab is a ground coupled heat exchanger equipped in building slab structures, which represents a layout similar to the horizontal ground heat exchanger (GHEX). The energy slab is installed as one component of the floor slab layers in order to utilize the underground structure as a hybrid energy structure. However, as the energy slab is horizontally arranged, its thermal performance is inevitably less than the conventional vertical GHEXs. Therefore, stainless steel (STS) pipes are alternatively considered as a heat exchanger instead of high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes in order to enhance thermal performance of GHEXs. Moreover, not only a floor slab but also a wall slab can be utilized as a heat-exchangeable energy slab in order to maximize the use of underground space effectively. In this paper, four field-scale energy slabs were constructed in a test bed, which consist of the STS and HDPE pipe, and a series of thermal response tests (TRTs) was conducted to evaluate relative heat exchange efficiency per unit pipe length according to the pipe material and the configuration of energy slabs. The energy slab equipped with the STS pipe shows higher thermal performance than the energy slab with the HDPE pipe. In addition, thermal performance of the wall-type energy slab is almost equivalent to the floor-type energy slab.

In order to design coaxial-type Ground Heat Exchangers (GHEXs) efficiently, the effect of components (i.e, heat exchange pipe and grouting material) on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs should be identified in advance. In this paper, three coaxial-type GHEXs with different configurations were constructed in a test bed. Then, the effect of heat exchange pipes and grouting materials on the thermal performance of coaxial-type GHEXs was investigated by performing in-situ thermal response tests (TRTs) and thermal performance tests (TPTs). In the TRTs, the effective thermal conductivities of the coaxial-type GHEXs with concrete grouting and STS pipes were improved by 6.15 and 22.7%, respectively compared to those of bentonite grouting and HDPE pipes. Additionally, in the TPTs, the use of concrete grouting and STS pipes in the coaxial-type GHEXs enhanced the in-situ thermal performance by 15 and 33.8%, respectively.

This paper uses in-situ thermal response tests to present the characteristics of the ground thermal conductivities of three different SCW GHX. These SCW GHXs were installed in the same site in Seojong City. The three different cases are distinguished by the flow direction and the presence of a filler. The first type (A) is constructed for water to flow downstream. The second (B) and third (C) types are designed for water to flow upstream, and a filler is additionally inserted into the third type. The results of the in-situ thermal response tests, indicate that the ground thermal conductivity for types (A), (B) and (C) are of $4.84W/m{\cdot}K$, $3.40W/m{\cdot}K$, and $11.62W/m{\cdot}K$, respectively.

이동하중에 의한 아스팔트 포장의 변형률과 피로수명을 예측할 수 있는 유한요소해석 프로그램을 개발하고 그 성능을 현장 및 가속시험의 계측결과로 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 아스팔트 혼합물의 점탄성 연속체 손상(ViscoElastic Continuum Damage, VECD)모형을 유한요소해석 프로그램인 VECD-FEP++(Finite Element Program in C++)로 구현하는 과정을 다루고 있다. 아스팔트 혼합물의 피로손상은 열역학 이론에 근거한 Schapery의 일 포텐셜 이론(work potential theory)과 일축 단일 변형률 인장 시험으로 정의하고 이를 VECD 모형의 입력변수로 사용하였다. 실제 포장의 동적 변형률을 예측하기 위하여 한국도로공사 시험도로에서 이동하중 시험을 실시하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 4가지 서로 다른 아스팔트 혼합물(일반밀입도, SBS, Terpolymer, CR-TB)을 사용한 포장가속시험을 실시하고 각각의 피로 특성을 유한요소해석으로 예측하였다. 아스팔트 기층상부와 기층하부에서의 횡방향 변형률은 계측과 수치해석결과가 잘 일치하였다. 반면에, 표층과 중간층에서의 응답은 차량접지하중의 복잡한 영향으로 인하여 이를 반영할 수 없는 현재의 유한요소해석모델의 예측결과와는 다소 차이가 있었다. 포장가속시험결과 SBS 혼합물의 피로저항능력이 가장 우수한 것으로 평가 되었으나 VECD-FEP++에 의한 수명은 이와는 다르게 Terpolymer가 가장 우수한 것으로 예측되었다.
