Contribution of Longitudinal GFRP Bars in Concrete Cylinders under Axial Compression
(NRC Research Press, 2018-01-15)Contribution of longitudinal glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete columns under compression has been ignored by current design guidelines. This paper challenges this convention by testing 21 concrete ... -
Control of cardiac function and noise from a decaying power spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2004)The transduction capability of cardiac affected neurons situated to the heart to control cardiac function was described. It was observed that the through in situ cardiac afferent activity shows evidence of independent and ... -
Corrugated Cardboard Core Sandwich Beams with Bio-based Flax Fiber Composite Skins
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01) -
A Coupled MM5-CMAQ Modeling System for Assessing Effects of Restriction Measures on PM10 Pollution in Olympic City of Beijing, China
(2012-06)In this paper, a coupled MM5-CMAQ modeling system was employed to investigate the PM10 pollution issue in Beijing, China, with a focus on assessing the effects of different restriction policies implemented during and after ... -
Coupled-power theory of nonlinear distributed-feedback lasers, yielding reduced longitudinal spatial hole burning
(1998-06/22)The authors present an analysis of the nonlinear distributed-feedback (DFB) laser action, derive a set of nonlinear coupled-power equations, and obtain a general condition for a nonlinear DFB laser with reduced spatial ... -
Cumulative Impact Energy Absorption of Sandwich Panels with Foam Cores and Flax FRP Facings
(2017-11-27)In this paper, the cumulative energy absorption of sandwich panels constructed of foam cores and flax fiber-reinforced bio-based polymer (FFRP) faces is studied. Nine sandwich panels were constructed and tested under varying ... -
Design of fillet welds in RHS-to-RHS moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending
(Elsevier, 2019)Non-linear finite element (FE) models were developed to assess the AISC 360-16 Chapter K design approach for fillet welds in rectangular hollow section (RHS) moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending. The FE models ... -
Design of Multilevel Sequential Rotation Feeding Networks Used for Circularly Polarized Microstrip Antenna Arrays
(2012)No abstract available. -
Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds under Transverse Load (Postprint)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-09-01)In North American steel design specifications, a directional strength-enhancement factor is used to increase the predicted strength of fillet welds subjected to transverse loading (i.e., loading at 90° to the weld axis). ... -
Development of a leaching procedure to asses the risk of uranium leaching due to construction and demolition waste
(Elsevier, 2018)Naturally-occurring uranium can be found at elevated concentrations in groundwater throughout the world, with the potential to cause kidney damage in chronically exposed individuals. Empirical evidence shows that uranium ... -
Development of a Test Method for Strain Rate Testing of Flax FRPs in Direct Tension
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, 2018-06-13) -
Diffusion and Sorption of VOCs Through Soil-Cement Materials
(Thomas Telford, 2018)This paper presents a laboratory study that assesses the diffusive and sorptive parameters of three volatile organic compounds benzene, ethylbenzene, and trichloroethylene) though cured, monolithic, soil-cement materials. ... -
Direct observation of quantum coherence in single-molecule magnets
(American Physical Society, 2008)Direct evidence of quantum coherence in a single-molecule magnet in a frozen solution is reported with coherence times as long as T2=63030ns. We can strongly increase the coherence time by modifying the matrix in which the ... -
Direct Shear Tests of Sandy Soils Interfaced with FRP Sheets

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 ... -
Durability of Flax FRPs Exposed to Accelerated Environmental Conditions
(CDCC 2017, 2017-07-19)It is well known that synthetic fiber reinforcements, such as glass fibers, elevate the mechanical properties of polymer materials. Considering the synthetic material’s renewability challenges, natural fibers, such as flax ... -
The effect of different dewatering techniques on resulting effluent particle size.
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2020)A paucity of literature has compared geotextile dewatering methods to more conventional dewatering methods (i.e. centrifuge, sedimentation) in the context of how geotextile dewatering performs at reducing particulate matter ... -
Effect of Fiber Orientation on Nonlinear Behavior of CFRP Composites
(Sage Publications, 2009-09)Fiber orientation is one of the important parameters that affect strength and ductility of FRP-confined concrete columns. A number of studies have been conducted on various fiber orientations and wrap thicknesses, but have ...
