Journal Article
Dehdezi, P. K., Hall, M. R., & Dawson, A. (in press). Enhancement of soil thermo-physical properties using microencapsulated phase change materials for ground source heat pump applications. Applied Mechanics and Materials, 110-116, https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.110-116.1191

Soil can be modified with Phase Change materials (PCM) in order to enhance its thermophysical properties and energy storage for ground source heat pump applications. This paper studies thermo-physical properties of soil modified with different amount...

Thermophysical optimization of specialized concrete pavement materials for collection of surface heat energy and applications for shallow heat storage (2011)
Journal Article
Dehdezi, P. K., Hall, M. R., & Dawson, A. (2011). Thermophysical optimization of specialized concrete pavement materials for collection of surface heat energy and applications for shallow heat storage. Transportation Research Record, 2240, https://doi.org/10.3141/2240-13

There is great potential to use pavement structures to collect and/or store solar energy for the heating and cooling of adjacent buildings, e.g. airport terminals, shopping malls, etc. Therefore, pavement materials comprising both conventional and un...

Influence of the thermophysical properties of pavement materials on the evolution of temperature depth profiles in different climatic regions (2011)
Journal Article
Hall, M. R., Dehdezi, P. K., Dawson, A. R., Grenfell, J., & Isola, R. (2012). Influence of the thermophysical properties of pavement materials on the evolution of temperature depth profiles in different climatic regions. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 24(1), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29MT.1943-5533.0000357

The paper summarizes the relative influence of different pavement thermo-physical properties on the thermal response of pavement cross-sections, and how their relative behaviour changes in different climatic regions. A simplified one-dimensional heat... Read More about Influence of the thermophysical properties of pavement materials on the evolution of temperature depth profiles in different climatic regions.
