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 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. ... -

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 ... -
THE EFFECT OF FREEZE/THAW CYCLES ON THE PERFORMANCE AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF CEMENT-TREATED SOILS
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2016-12)In this paper, the performance and structural changes in cement-treated soils under influence of freeze/thaw (f/t) exposure are investigated. Specimens from plastic and compacted soil-cement mix designs were exposed to ... -
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 ... -

Enhancing the Interface Friction between Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets and Sandy Soils through Sand Coating
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-28)Soil-pile interface friction is an important geotechnical engineering factor to be considered in achieving a safe, cost-effective design. Conventional construction materials such as concrete, steel, and wood exhibit serious ... -
Evaluating Impact Resonance Testing as a Tool for Predicting Hydraulic Conductivity and Strength Changes in Cement-Stabilized Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2015)In this paper the impact resonance (IR) test method is used as a nondestructive tool to examine the curing progression, freeze/thaw (f/t) resistance, and healing potential of cement-stabilized soils. Resonant frequency ... -
Evaluating the movement of dissolved porewater species through a marine sediment 51 years after establishment of a pulp and paper effluent stabilization basin
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022)Over 50 years ago, a marine estuary was converted to a wastewater stabilization basin for treatment of primarily pulp and paper effluent. As a result, the basin was immediately converted to a “freshwater” environment and ... -
Examining freeze/thaw cycling and its impact on the hydrualic conductivity of cement-treated silty sand
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2015)Cement-based solidification/stabilization (s/s) is a remediation technology that has been widely used for treatment of a range of contaminants. Currently there is limited published data on changes in hydraulic performance ... -
Examining metal migration through geotextiles during dewatering
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper presents a study conducted to assess the influence that a filter cake deposited on the surface of the geotextile has on the mobility of three metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) during filtration of a contaminated sediment. Two ...
