Abstract
As a kind of clean and renewable energy, shallow geothermal energy has the characteristics of wide distribution and huge reserves. The use of pile foundation heat exchange for building heating is a new technology to realize the effective utilization of geothermal energy. Improving the mechanical properties of the pile body material and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the pile foundation concrete will effectively promote the application of concrete in building structures. In this paper, the effect of steel fiber content on the thermal conductivity and me-chanical strength of concrete is discussed by carrying out physical and mechanical properties test of concrete material of pile body. It is proposed to incorporate steel fibers into the concrete of the pile body to improve its thermal conductivity, thereby improving its heat transfer efficiency per unit time. At the same time, the role of steel fiber in enhancing heat transfer performance in pile material is analyzed from the microscopic mechanism, which provides theoretical support for the op-timization process of concrete ratio of pile foundation in practical engineering.
