Second-order Analysis of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Artificial Neural Network
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)Analysis of slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is required for design and optimization purposes. Finite element, finite difference, and analytical-numerical tools were ... -
Seismic and aseismic slip pulses driven by thermal pressurization of pore fluid
(2012-04)There are several lines of evidence that suggest that thermal pressurization (TP) of pore fluid within a low-permeability fault core may play the key role in the development of earthquake slip. To elucidate effects of TP ... -
Self-Healing Concrete: A Review of Recent Research Developments and Existing Research Gaps
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), 2019-06-12)Self-healing materials are defined as the materials that are able to partially or completely restore their original functionality after they have been damaged. In cementitious materials, such as concrete, this concept is ... -
Self-healing of Engineering Cementitious Composite with Crystalline Admixture Under Different Exposure Conditions
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)Self-healing mechanisms in concrete can promote healing of cracks with the material produced through the concrete itself. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a special category of HighPerformance Fiber Reinforced ... -

Shear and Bending Behaviour of Short-span Steel-reinforced Concrete-filled FRP Tubes with ±55◦ Fiber Orientation
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2021-05-26)In this study, steel-reinforced concrete-filled ±55◦ glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) tubes (CFFT) are examined under monotonic loading to understand their shear behaviour. A total of three test specimens with three ... -
Short Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Rebars under Eccentric Loading
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2017-05-31)In this paper, the compressive performance of short concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rebars is evaluated. A total of fourteen 500 mm long concrete specimens with square ... -
Signal reception for space-time differentially encoded transmissions over FIR rich multipath channels
(2004-05)No abstract available. -
Simplified Material Model for Concrete Containing High-Content of Tire-Derived Coarse Aggregate under Compression Loading
(NRC Press, 2020-07-31)The flexible properties of the shredded rubber tires give rubberized concrete desirable properties such as lower relative density, and better dampening ability, higher toughness, and improved deformability resulting in an ... -
Slender RC Columns Strengthened with a Novel Hybrid Strengthening System of External Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs
(ASCE, 2021-10-01)In this study, the performance of slender circular concrete columns strengthened with a novel hybrid system of longitudinally bonded prefabricated fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates and transverse FRP wrapping is ... -
"Smart" baroreception along the aortic arch, with reference to essential hypertension
(American Physical Society, 2004)An arterial model was used to show that the cumulative effects of wave reflections have a surprisingly pronounced effect on the pressure distribution in the root segment of the tree. Global arterial conditions play a role ... -
Snowmelt infiltration and macropore flow in frozen soils: overview, knowledge gaps, and a conceptual framework
(Soil Society of America, 2018-11-08)Macropore flow in frozen soils plays a critical role in partitioning snowmelt at the land surface and modulating snowmelt-driven hydrological processes. Previous descriptions of macropore flow processes in frozen soil do ... -
Soil-Structure Interaction Modeling of FRP Composite Piles

Solving the Dirichlet Problem for Vibration of Parallelogram-Shaped Membrane using Method of Partial Domains
(Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA), 2019-10-30)In this study, the Dirichlet boundary problem for vibration of a parallelogram-shaped membrane is solved. The simplicity and transparency of the proposed procedures allow one to clarify the specific features of some ... -
Spatiotemporal assessment (quarter century) of pulp mill metal(loid) contaminated sediment to inform remediation decisions
(Springer, 2017)A bleached kraft pulp mill in Nova Scotia has discharged effluent wastewater into Boat Harbour, a former tidal estuary within Pictou Landing First Nation since 1967. Fifty years of effluent discharge into Boat Harbour has ... -
Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Nano-Reinforced 3D-Fiber Metal Laminates Using Non-Destructive Techniques
(SAGE, 2020-05-15)Uncontrolled vibration in mechanical systems (e.g. aircraft, trains and automobiles) may result in undesirable noise and eventually, cause mechanical failure. In this context, the main objective of the present research is ... -
Statistical Sample Size for Quality Control Programs of Cement-Based Solidification/Stabilization
(NRC Press, 2015)Sampling requirements for the quality control (QC) of cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) construction cells do not currently specify the sample size considering the accuracy of the estimated effective hydraulic ...
