Investigation of the Stress-Strain Constitutive Behavior of ±55° Filament Wound GFRP Pipes in Compression and Tension
The behavior of hollow ±55o filament wound glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pipes under longitudinal compressive and tensile loading is studied experimentally using 31 pipe specimens. The main parameters were the ... -
Investigation of weld effective length rules for CHS X-connections
A laboratory-based test program was conducted to assess the performance of fillet welds in X-connections between circular hollow sections (CHS). Six full-scale, fillet-welded CHS-to-CHS X-connections were designed to be ... -
Lateral Behaviour of Concrete-Filled FRP Tube Piles
Applications of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite piles are rapidly gaining traction in Canada and around the world. FRP piles offer several advantages compared to traditional piles, the most important of which is ... -
Lateral sand filters are effective for removal of antibiotic resistance genes from domestic wastewater
The ability of lateral flow sand filters, used as on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), to remove antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and other relevant genetic markers (HF183, ... -
Long-Term Tensile Properties of Natural Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Comparison of Flax and Glass Fibres
Despite of significant research on the mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites made of natural fibres, long-term performance of the natural fibre composites against moisture and other environmental ... -
Low impact development effects on aquifer recharge using coupled surface and groundwater models
Low impact development (LID) is promoted as a sustainable management practice for stormwater in urbanized catchments. While the positive effects of LID features on surface water hydrology and water quality have been ... -
Manufactured aggregate from cement kiln dust
This paper presents the results of a laboratory study that evaluated the geotechnical and geoenvironmental properties of a manufactured aggregate derived from cement kiln dust (CKD). The aggregate manufacturing process ... -
Material Characterization of GFRP Bars in Compression using a New Test Method
This paper presents a new test method for determining the mechanical properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite bars in compression, namely the compressive strength, compressive modulus of elasticity, ... -
Mechanical behavior of flax-lime concrete blocks made of waste flax shives and lime binder reinforced with jute fabric
Due to the increase in production of construction materials, the emission of carbon dioxide levels and the requirement for producing materials with a less environmental footprint is gaining more attention. This paper focuses ... -
New mechanics-based confinement model and stress–strain relationship for analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with FRP composites
The analysis and design of concrete columns wrapped with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites require the mathematical equation of stress–strain relationship and the ultimate conditions (i.e., stress and strain) ...
