Abstract
This article investigates the thermal response of a geothermal pavements located in Adelaide, South Australia. This geothermal pavement field trial is believed to be the first full-scale instrumented system of its kind in the country, and one of the handful around the world to date providing a rare set of experimental data. The ground temperature and weather parameters were monitored for over two years, including during two thermal response tests (TRTs) undertaken under different weather conditions. The annual ground temperature profile under the pavement provides helpful information for geothermal pavements design and model validation. Results revealed the significant impact of weather cond..
