Effective thermal conductivity of soils can be enhanced to achieve higher efficiencies in the operation of shallow geothermal systems.Soil cementation is a ground improvement technique that can increase the interparticle contact area,leading to a high effective thermal conductivity.However,cementation may occur at different locations in the soil matrix,i.e.interparticle contacts,evenly or unevenly around particles,in the pore space or a combination of these.The topology of cementation at the particle scale and its influence on soil response have not been studied in detail to date.Additionally,soils are made of particles with different shapes,but the impact of particle shape on the cementation and the resulting change of effective thermal conductivity require further research.In this work,three kinds of sands with different particle shapes were selected and cementation was formed either evenly around the particles,or along the direction parallel or perpendicular to that of heat transfer.The effective thermal conductivity of each sample was computed using a thermal conductance network model.Results show that dry sand with more irregular particle shape and cemented along the heat transfer direction will lead to a more efficient thermal enhancement of the soil,i.e.a comparatively higher soil effective thermal conductivity.
