The application of this technology to section 1 of the Line 2 of Metro Torino (Italy), currently under design, is here investigated. The objective is to quantify, by means of Finite Element Thermo-Hydraulic simulations, the heat that could be extracted from and injected into the ground by the geothermal activation of the diaphragm walls and base slab of the tunnels.text::conference output::conference poster not in proceedings
