In the framework of quasi‐regular strongly local Dirichlet form (E,D(E))$(\mathcal {E},D(\mathcal {E}))$ on L2(X;m)$L^2(X;\mathfrak {m})$ admitting minimal E$\mathcal {E}$‐dominant measure μ$\mu$, we construct a natural p$p$‐energy functional (Ep,D(Ep))$(\mathcal {E}^{\,p},D(\mathcal {E}^{\,p}))$ on Lp(X;m)$L^p(X;\mathfrak {m})$ and (1,p)$(1,p)$‐Sobolev space (H1,p(X),∥·∥H1,p)$(H^{1,p}(X),\Vert \cdot \Vert _{H^{1,p}})$ for p∈]1,+∞[$p\in]1,+\infty [$. In this paper, we establish the Clarkson‐type inequality for (H1,p(X),∥·∥H1,p)$(H^{1,p}(X),\Vert \cdot \Vert _{H^{1,p}})$. As a consequence, (H1,p(X),∥·∥H1,p)$(H^{1,p}(X),\Vert \cdot \Vert _{H^{1,p}})$ is a uniformly convex Banach space, hence it is reflexive. Based on the reflexivity of (H1,p(X),∥·∥H1,p)$(H^{1,p}(X),\Vert \cdot \Vert _{H^{1,p}})$, we prove that (generalized) normal contraction operates on (Ep,D(Ep))$(\mathcal {E}^{\,p},D(\mathcal {E}^{\,p}))$, which has been shown in the case of various concrete settings, but has not been proved for such a general framework. Moreover, we prove that (1,p)$(1,p)$‐capacity Cap1,p(A)<∞${\rm Cap}_{1,p}(A)<\infty$ for open set A$A$ admits an equilibrium potential eA∈D(Ep)$e_A\in D(\mathcal {E}^{\,p})$ with 0≤eA≤1$0\le e_A\le 1$m$\mathfrak {m}$‐a.e. and eA=1$e_A=1$m$\mathfrak {m}$‐a.e. on A$A$.
