Strengthening Slender Steel Compression Members Using a Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Shell Buckling Restrained Bracing System
(2019-06-04)In this paper, the structural properties of slender steel members reinforced against buckling by fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite shells filled with self-consolidating grout is investigated. A total of 9 small-scale ... -
Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper presents an experimental and finite-element (FE) study to determine stress concentration factors (SCFs) for directly welded rectangular hollow section (RHS)-to-RHS axially loaded X-connections near an open chord ... -
Structural Behavior of Sandwich Beams with Flax Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Faces and Cardboard Cores under Monotonic and Impact Loads
(ASCE, 2020-06-01)To meet the ever-increasing demand for more environmentally conscious building designs, it is important that sustainable building material options be available. Natural and recycled materials can be used in sandwich panels ... -
Structural Behaviour of Sandwich Panels Constructed of Foam Cores and Flax FRP Facings
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2017-05-31)In this study, the flexural behaviour of sandwich panels constructed of flax fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) facings and closed cell polyisocyanurate foam cores was examined. A total of nine sandwich beam specimens (1200 ... -
Tensile Properties of Flax FRP Composites
(6th Asia-Pacific Conference on FRP in Structures, 2017-07-19)In this study, the effects of the polymer matrix properties and shape of test specimens on mechanical properties of flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are examined. A total of 30 flax FRP coupons were fabricated ... -
Tensile Properties of PET FRP with Bio-resin Polymer
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)This study analyses the mechanical behaviour of polyethylene terephthalate fiber-reinforced polymer (PET FRP) made with a bio-resin polymer matrix. The utilized bio-resin is furfuryl alcohol mixed with phthaloyl dichloride ... -

Theory, tools, and multidisciplinary applications for tracing groundwater fluxes from temperature profiles
(Wiley, 2019-01)Quantifying groundwater fluxes to and from deep aquifers or shallow sediment is a critical task faced by researchers and practitioners from many environmental science disciplines including hydrology, hydrogeology, ecology, ... -
Three-point Bending of Sandwich Beams with FRP Facing and PP Honeycomb Core
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)In this study, two sets of sandwich beams were tested in three-point bending. The sandwich panels were fabricated in a wet layup process. The facing component was made of either polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced ... -

Using a geotextile with flocculated filter backwash water and its impact on aluminium concentrations
(Elsevier, 2018)The use of geotextiles (i.e. geotextile tubes) in wastewater treatment applications is ever increasing. This paper examines the potential of using a geotextile to improve upon the treatment of aluminium present in a filter ... -
Using Heat to Trace Vertical Water Fluxes in Sediment Experiencing Concurrent Tidal Pumping and Groundwater Discharge
(Wiley/American Geophysical Union, 2021-02)Heat has been widely applied to trace groundwater-surface water exchanges in inland environments, but it is infrequently applied in coastal sediment where head oscillations induce periodicity in water flux magnitude/direction ... -
Using TDA to Partially Replace Coarse Aggregates in Concrete Mixtures
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)Applications utilizing rubberized concrete have grown substantially in the last decade as an answer for the scrape tires stockpiling problems and its associated environmental issues. Though rubberized concrete mixtures ... -
Variation of horizontal in situ stress with depth for long-term performance evaluation of the Deep Geological Repository project access shaft
(Elsevier, 2018)A site characterization program was carried out for a proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) project for Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste repository near Kincardine, Ontario. ...
