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 ... -

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 ... -
