Experimental Investigation of the In-Plane Behaviour of Concrete Masonry Infills Bounded by Reinforced Masonry Frames
(2019-12-12)This study was carried out to investigate the in-plane behaviour of all-masonry infilled frames, i.e., concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced masonry frames. To this end, six specimens including one masonry bare ... -
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES
(2017-04-28)This thesis presents results of an experimental study focusing on the out-of-plane behaviour and strength of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced concrete frames. A total of four specimens was tested with different ... -
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE MASONRY INFILLED FRAMES
(2017-11-01)This thesis presents an integral part of an on-going research on out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infills, this study was motivated to augment the existing experimental database on out-of-plane behaviour and strength of ... -
Experimental Investigation on the Shear Strength Parameters and Deformability Behavior of Various Soil Types Mixed with Tire-Derived Aggregate
(2018-12-05)Stockpiles of waste tires have become a serious environmental problem in Canada and worldwide. According to the Rubber Association of Canada, approximately 28 million scrap tires are generated annually in Canada, including ... -
Experimental investigations into the pathophysiology of Huntington's disease.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE SANDWICH PANELS
(2020-04-07)The use of disposable plastic items has been increasing enormously throughout the past ten years. Despite comprising of recyclable polymers, thermoplastic waste has made international headlines as a major source of ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR AND STRENGTH OF SHEAR STUDS IN COMPOSITE BRIDGE DECK CONSTRUCTION
(2012-12-18)Cast-in-place concrete in composite with steel sections is commonly used in bridge deck constructions. The shear transfer between the concrete and steel section is achieved by shear connectors and the strength calculation ... -
Experimental Study of Branching Fins for Enhanced Heat Transfer in Latent Energy Storage System
(2017-12-15)Thermal energy from sustainable sources is a growing percentage of the global energy budget, one which requires storage technologies for effective use. For thermal energy, latent heat energy storage systems (LHESSs) offer ... -
Experimental study of coil and shell phase change material heat exchanger.
(2020-05-15)Phase change material-based thermal energy storage (PCM-TES) is a promising thermal energy storage technology because of its high energy storage density and narrower working transition temperature. These devices store ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DOW NWARD FLAME SPREAD RATE ON PMMA
(2014-07-17)The purpose of this thesis is to experimentally study the downward flame spread rate and the angle of pyrolysis with different shapes of PMMA at different oxygen concentrations. The effect of sample shape is considered. ... -
An Experimental Study of Dynamic Biased Skip Lists
(2017-11-01)Skip lists allow search, insert, and delete operations in O(log n) average time. However, they show a lack of efficiency when dealing with data exhibiting locality of reference, meaning the keys are searched or updated ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF HOLLOW FRP SECTIONS UNDER BENDING FOR USE AS BRIDGE DECKING
(2020-12-21)In this thesis, the behaviour of square hollow structural sections made of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) under four-point bending both independently and in composite with concrete was investigated. The end goal ... -
Experimental Study of Masonry-Infilled Steel Frames Subjected to Combined Axial and In-Plane Lateral Loading
(2013-11-14)An experimental program was conducted to investigate some aspects of in-plane behaviour of masonry infilled steel frames. Eight concrete masonry infilled steel frames, consisting of three fully grouted and five partially ... -
An experimental study of the early stages of the pyrolysis of acetylene.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF INTERFACIAL GAPS ON THE IN-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES
(2015)Previous studies on masonry infilled frames have shown that gaps between the infill and the bounding frame can significantly affect the stiffness and strength of the infilled system. However, the relationship between the ... -
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE ON THE FORMATION OF CHROMITE DEPOSITS
(2022-06-13)Despite extensive research on the Bushveld Complex chromitites, the mechanism(s) that form such anomalous chromite segregations remains uncertain. Recent work applying the MELTS thermodynamic model proposed that reduction ... -
Experimental Study of the In-Plane Behaviour of All-Masonry Infilled Frame Systems under Lateral Loading
(2020-12-08)This study is part of on-going experimental research, aiming to further investigate the in-plane behaviour of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced masonry frames (all-masonry infilled frames). A total of six ... -
An experimental study of the role of contamination in the formation of chromitites in the Ring of Fire Intrusive Suite
(2018-12-14)The Ring of Fire Intrusive Suite (ROFIS) in the James Bay lowlands, Ontario, is emplaced into the 2.734 Ga McFaulds Lake greenstone belt, and hosts five chromite deposits, together comprising ~201.3 million tonnes of ... -
