Behavior of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-04-24)This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. The experimental program included ten concrete columns with rectangular ... -
Benchmarking numerical freeze/thaw models
(Elsevier, 2015-08-28) -
Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids
(Elsevier, 2021)Land application of biosolids is one potential source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into agricultural soils. Degradation is an important natural attenuation pathway that affects the fate and transport ... -
Blue-Green and Benthic: A Workshop on Monitoring, Mitigation and Management of Cyanobacteria in Atlantic Canada. Final Report.
(2023-01-12)WORKSHOP SUMMARY Since the 2018 Atlantic Canadian Cyanobacteria Workshop, we have seen a rapid increase in the number of waterbodies (recreational and drinking water supplies) under public advisories, exposing gaps in ... -
Bond-Slip Analytical Formulation toward Optimal Embedment of Concrete-Filled Circular FRP Tubes into Concrete Footings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-03-15)This paper presents a robust analytical model for a moment connection of concrete-filled fiber reinforced-polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) to concrete footings. The CFFT connection is based on a simple approach of direct embedment ... -
Calibration of Reduction Factor for Concrete Columns Strengthened with Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Wrapping
(2019-06-04)Strengthening with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping is a well-established method of retorifiting or upgrading existing concrete columns. The available test data cooreponding to FRP wrapped concrete columns has ... -

Characterizaing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 2020)A field sampling program was undertaken to assess the variability of physical characteristics of contaminated sediments in a large (160 ha) effluent stabilization lagoon. The objective of this paper is to use this “field ... -
Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
(NRC Research Press, 2019-09-04)This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ... -
Characterizing Porosity and Diffusive Properties of Monolithic Cement-Based Solidified/Stabilized Materials
(2012-07)This paper presents the application of a single reservoir diffusion test to determine both the effective porosity of a soil-cement matrix and the diffusivity of tritium through saturated, monolithic, cement solidified/stabilized ... -
Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors (Postprint)
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)For rectangular hollow section (RHS)-to-RHS and circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS connections situated near a truss/girder end, reinforcement using a chord-end cap plate is common; however, for fatigue design, formulae ... -
Circular hollow section X-connections near an open chord end: stress concentration factors (Postprint)
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)This paper presents a numerical finite element (FE) investigation to determine stress concentration factors (SCFs) for circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS X-connections near an open chord end. Previous large-scale experiments ... -
Climate change impacts on the temperature and magnitude of groundwater discharge from shallow, unconfined aquifers

Closed-Form Model and Parametric Study on Connection of Concrete-Filled FRP Tubes to Concrete Footings by Direct Embedment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-10-30)Concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) have been introduced as a new system for piles, columns and poles. A simple moment connection based on direct embedment of the CFFT into concrete footings or ... -
Coastal groundwater model calibration using filtered and amplified hydraulic information retained in the freshwater–saltwater interface Postprint
(Springer, 2022-07-22)Coastal groundwater flow is driven by an interplay between terrestrial and marine forcings. One of the distinguishing features in these settings is the formation of a freshwater lens due to the density difference between ... -
Competition model for aperiodic stochastic resonance in a Fitzhugh-Nagumo model of cardiac sensory neurons
(American Institute of Physics Inc, 2001)A model is presented to access the cause and effect between noisy threshold inputs and the average firing rate generated by neuron. The neural control in the heart in aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR) was partially ... -
Compressive Behaviour of Concrete Cylinders Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering:, 2017-05-31)Current design standards ignore any contribution of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete in a state of compression. This paper challenged this convention by testing 30 cylinders of 36 MPa concrete to ... -
