Possibilities of underground engineering in the use of shallow geothermal energy

Possible ways of using shallow geothermal energy, and capabilities of underground engineering in this process, are described in the paper. In addition to their basic role in ensuring bearing capacity or stability of soil and rock, reducing settlement of structures, etc., underground structures in di...
