Abstract: A number of full- and small-scale physical tests, and numerical studies examining the behaviour of thermally-activated piles have now been published. Collating studies involving monotonic and cyclic heating or cooling of isolated piles and pile groups, this article examines the reported results of the pile-soil interactions in terms of the pile head displacement and maximum internal stress changes during thermal loading, which are key for the design of thermally-activated piles.
