Fate and transport of particle matter during geotube dewatering of a dioxin and furan (PCDD/F) contaminated sediment.
Geotextile tube dewatering is a pre-treatment method utilized in the remediation of high-water content materials (i.e. sediments and slurries). However, given the association some contaminants (e.g. dioxins and furans, ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. I: Experimentation
For the first time, an experimental test program was conducted to assess the strength of fillet welds in circular hollow section (CHS) connections. Six large-scale, fillet-welded CHS-to-CHS X-connections were designed with ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. II: Finite element modelling, parametric study and design
Finite element (FE) modelling was performed to extend the results of a recently completed experimental test program to evaluate the static strength of fillet welds in X-connections between circular hollow sections (CHS). ... -
Fillet welds around circular hollow sections
A research program was conducted to evaluate the safety of design rules for fillet welds around the perimeter of steel circular hollow sections (CHS) in the current American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) steel ... -
Flexural and shear characteristics of bio-based sandwich beams made of hollow and foam-filled paper honeycomb cores and flax fiber composite skins
In this paper, bio-based sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and two types of paper honeycomb core (namely, hollow and foam-filled) with three different thicknesses (namely, 6 mm, 12 mm, and 25 mm) ... -
Flexural Behavior of Sandwich Panels made of FRP Composites: Synthetic and Natural Fibers
Sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and light-weight core materials have the potential to be effectively used in several structural applications such as cladding, decking, and roofing panels. The ... -
FRP Materials for Rehabilitation of Buried Pipes
Over time, pipes tend to deteriorate due to various physical and chemical parameters. Therefore, they necessitate rehabilitation to improve the service life of structure. Bonding a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) liner ... -
Geotextile biofiltration of primary treated municipal wastewater under simulated artic summer conditions.
Wastewater stabilization ponds (WSPs) are common for wastewater treatment in remote Canadian Arctic communities. In this paper, two geotextiles of different mass/unit areas are examined as a potential biofiltration upgrade ... -
Green Sandwich Composites Fabricated from Flax FRP Facings and Corrugated Cardboard Cores
Composite sandwich beams and panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and lightweight, low-density core materials have been shown to be effective in reducing weight and increasing strength and stiffness in a variety ... -
Guidelines for cold-regions groundwater numerical modeling
The impacts of ongoing climate warming on cold‐regions hydrogeology and groundwater resources have created a need to develop groundwater models adapted to these environments. Although permafrost is considered relatively ... -
Historical characterization and spatial distribution of organic contaminated sediment derived from kraft pulp mill effluent.
Organic sediment contaminants [polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)] were assessed using secondary monitoring data from a former tidal ... -
Hybrid FRP Strengthening of Slender Steel Members for Buckling Control
In this paper, the structural properties and behaviour of slender steel members strengthened against buckling by a hybrid system of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) shells filled with self-consolidating grout (SCG), in the ... -
A Hybrid Perturbation and Morris Approach for Identifying Sensitive Parameters in Surface Water Quality Models
Surface water quality models (SWQM) are always developed as universal frameworks so that they can be flexibly employed to simulate a large variety of water bodies. These models are often over-parameterized (more parameters ... -
Hybrid system of longitudinal CFRP laminates and GFRP wraps for strengthening of existing circular concrete columns
This paper presents an investigation on the behavior of a strengthening system of longitudinal premanufactured carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates and transverse glass FRP (GFRP) wrapping for strengthening of ... -
Hydraulic and strength performance of three cement-stabilized soils subjected to cycles of freezing and thawing
A total of 108 specimens were prepared to examine the hydraulic performance and strength performance of nine different cement-stabilized soils under unexposed and freeze–thaw exposed conditions. Specimens from each mix ...
