Abstract

of the city of Perm (Russia). The monitoring results are presented for two experimental sites. Site 1 is characterized by dense urban development and related to type I soil conditions in Perm (the left-bank area of Perm). Site 2 is located in a low-urbanised region of the city and is related to type II soil conditions in Perm (the right-bank area of Perm).

Highlights

  • The Department of Construction Technology and Geotechnics of Perm National Research Polytechnic University has conducted studies of the temperature fields on ground bases in the city of Perm since 2009

  • Research is being carried out to quantify the thermal behavior of soil for the main types of geotechnical condition

  • Analysis of monitoring results on site 2 displays the temperature of soil mass from a depth of 9 m as constant and equal to 6-7 °C

Summary

Introduction

Quantitative assessment of subgrade temperature is one of the main factors allowing introduction of a process based on the use of the soil thermal energy. Technologies based on the use of soil thermal energy are employed for the heating and cooling of buildings, at the very least to provide electricity and hot water. These technologies have been widely used in European and neighboring countries [1,2,3,4,5]. Their introduction in Russia at this point is not yet much in evidence
