Alessandro Rotta Loria, Ph.D.
This lecture focuses on energy geostructures: innovative earth-contact structures that provide combined structural support and renewable energy supply to built environments. The talk is divided into three parts. First, it introduces and discusses therising energy needs, lack of usable land for development, and ground warming that affect urban areas worldwide. Next, the presentation unveils how energy geostructures can address all these challenges by turning both existing and new underground constructions into a means to tap into geothermal and waste thermal energy. Afterward, it encompasses key developments in the understanding, analysis, simulation, and prediction of the performance of energy geostructures. Finally, the lecture presents multiple energy geostructure projects realized worldwide.
Keller North America provides a wide range of geotechnical engineering and construction services to improve soils in-place and to both construct new and rehabilitate foundations. The techniques that will be discussed include Compaction & Jet Grouting, Embankment Stabilization & Excavation Support, Vibro Compaction & Replacement, Micropiles and Pile Driving. Within our range of services, a Ground Modification solution is generally available for the toughest subsurface conditions.
