Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
(NRC Research Press, 2019-09-04)
This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ...
Effects of long shredded rubber particles recycled from waste tires on mechanical properties of concrete
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-10)
The goal of this research is to study the mechanical properties of recycled rubber particles extracted from scrap tires in concrete to introduce a sustainable waste management system and subsequently to reduce the use of ...
VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMALLY CYCLED GRAPHENE NANOPLATELET (GNP) REINFORCED 3D-FIBER METAL LAMINATES (3D-FML)
(Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA), 2019-10-30)
Harsh environmental conditions may cause materials to degrade and eventually fail, or even worse, it can be coupled with undesirable vibrations in mechanical systems, resulting in premature failure of the system. Such ...
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 ...
Vibration Characteristics of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) Reinforced 3D-Fiber Metal Laminates (3D-FML)
(11th Canadian-International Conference on Composites (CANCOM2019), 2019-07-24)
Uncontrolled vibration in mechanical systems results in undesirable noise and may cause the eventual mechanical failure of the system. This paper explores the parameters that govern and affect the frequency response of a ...
Parametric study of the flexural behaviour of sandwich panels with flax FRP faces and foam cores using finite element analysis
(APFIS 2019, 2019-12-10)
To meet the growing demands for increased sustainability in infrastructure, it is important to consider the use of more environmentally-friendly materials, such as plant-based fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Plant-based ...
Experimental study of hollow FRP sections under bending
(APFIS 2019, 2019-12-10)
This paper presents an experimental study on hollow, fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) sections subjected to bending. This study is part of an ongoing project, with the eventual goal being to use the sections as a bridge ...
Heat: An overlooked tool in the practicing hydrogeologist's toolbox
(Wiley, 2019-05-30)
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 ...
1g model tests of vertically loaded GFRP piles
(Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS), 2019-09-29)
The conventional piling materials (i.e., concrete, steel, wood) are more likely to have durability problems (i.e., corrosion, degradation, deterioration) in harsh environments and offshore construction. Fiber-reinforced ...
