Manufactured aggregate from cement kiln dust
(Institute of Civil Engineers Publishing, 2016)This paper presents the results of a laboratory study that evaluated the geotechnical and geoenvironmental properties of a manufactured aggregate derived from cement kiln dust (CKD). The aggregate manufacturing process ... -
Numerical Analysis of Longwall Mining Layout for a Wyoming Trona Mine
(Elsevier, 2016)At Solvay Mine, located in southwestern Wyoming, a subhorizontal trona seam is mined at depths of between 460-490 m using mechanized room-and-pillar and longwall mining methods. The stratigraphy at the mine generally ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Design Procedures for Fillet Welds to Hollow Structural Sections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper discusses contemporary design procedures for fillet welds to Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) in several prominent design codes. The structural reliability associated with the "directional strength enhancement ... -
Experimental and Analytical Behavior of Sandwich Composite Beams: Comparison of Natural and Synthetic Materials
(SAGE, 2016-05-31)In this study, the flexural behavior of sandwich composite beams made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and light-weight cores are studied. The focus is on the comparison of natural and synthetic fiber and core ... -
Long-Term Tensile Properties of Natural Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Comparison of Flax and Glass Fibres
(Elsevier, 2016-06)Despite of significant research on the mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites made of natural fibres, long-term performance of the natural fibre composites against moisture and other environmental ... -
Flexural Behavior of Sandwich Panels made of FRP Composites: Synthetic and Natural Fibers
(CSCE, 2016-06-01)Sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and light-weight core materials have the potential to be effectively used in several structural applications such as cladding, decking, and roofing panels. The ... -
Hydrologic impacts of thawing permafrost—A review

Optimal Fuzzy Input Set of Fuzzy Relation Equations Using Biogeography-Based Optimization Algorithm
(Dalhousie University, 2016-06-27)This study presents an approach to optimally find a fuzzy input set that can be used with the fuzzy relation to producing a fuzzy output. In this study, the fuzzy relation model is translated into a mathematical optimization ... -
Durability of Concrete Beams with Bonded FRP Composites made of Flax and Glass Fibers
(CSCE, 2016-08-24)Synthetic fibers, such as glass fibers, in the form of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been extensively used for the repair and strengthening of existing concrete structures in the past three decades. As ... -
THE EFFECT OF FREEZE/THAW CYCLES ON THE PERFORMANCE AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF CEMENT-TREATED SOILS
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2016-12)In this paper, the performance and structural changes in cement-treated soils under influence of freeze/thaw (f/t) exposure are investigated. Specimens from plastic and compacted soil-cement mix designs were exposed to ... -
Geotextile biofiltration of primary treated municipal wastewater under simulated artic summer conditions.
(Elsevier, 2016-12)Wastewater stabilization ponds (WSPs) are common for wastewater treatment in remote Canadian Arctic communities. In this paper, two geotextiles of different mass/unit areas are examined as a potential biofiltration upgrade ... -
An Analytical Approach to Assess Quality Control Sample Sizes of Cement-Based Solidification/Stabilization
(NRC Research Press, 2017)This paper presents an analytical approach to selecting the sample size required to achieve acceptable quality control in a cement-based solidification/stabilization construction cell program intended for the treatment/containment ...
