Prior to this study, no simplified yet rational methods were available for estimating the vertical displacements of energy pile groups subjected to thermal loads. Observing such a challenge, the goal of this study has been threefold: (i) to extend the interaction factor concept from the framework of conventional pile groups to that of energy pile groups, (ii) to present charts for the analysis of the displacement interaction between two identical energy piles over a broad range of design conditions, and (iii) to propose, apply and validate the interaction factor method for the displacement analysis of energy pile groups.
